About this book
The story
Shank, Wood, and Bergeron heard their Macedonian call: "The world that called to us for help was not some distant land. It wasn't the steamy jungle of South America, or the alien desert terrain of the Middle East.
It was our own inner city".
Their ministry called them to personal methods: "We found that working among the poor was not a matter of programs or bureaucracies ....
We found that helping the poor was just one person at a time, face-to-face, hand in hand, side by side".
If you have ever had a desire to be like Jesus and embrace the poor, this is your resource.
