"Lord, if I do one thing in my life, let it be easing the suffering of Your children."
Ever since I can remember, I've felt a calling to help the poor. I'm very fortunate to be plugged into a church that shares my passion. There's nothing like being plugged into the right electrical source.

If you are able, please step up and give or serve. I've seen first hand when God's children change from despair to joy. Like Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church says:
"There's nothing that touches me more deeply than watching God transform a life. All I really want is to be used by God to watch him transform more human lives and destinies." (GLS 2013)
