Thinking about how to meet the needs of the poor is close to my heart. The people God sends my way have generally fallen through the cracks or already "tried that", with little or no success. Would you think with me and discuss better ways we can care for addicts, alcoholics and the poor. All the twelve step programs are great and we attend them. How can we get shelter and detox and more clean and sober living environments? Doing what is being done is good, can it be done better? Are you intrestewd in getting involved with some followers of Jesus? We meet on thursday nites in Gilroy, California. It is also possible to have a conversation here. Have you heard of an emerging church?
