 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">I show love and walk humbly in my life with God because my family and I fund Everyday Blessings Children's home, where kids live in poverty and have been abused. We also mentor a child there and take him to church, buy him clothes, take him shopping, to the beach, and show him the love he never had. We also fund many other charities having to do with children in poverty and child abuse and hunger. I also appreciate the things I have, my family, and my benefits.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The CCHD helps poverty by giving the poor a hand up, not a hand out.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In 1865, a Methodist Minister named William Booth went to London's East side slums to help end hunger and homelessness. He realized that the people there were extremely poor and lacked physical and spiratual needs. Him, his wife, and an evangelical crusade of soldiers established a ministry based on the philosophy of "Soup, Soap, and Salvation." They fed the poor, loved the unloved and the mission of the group was meeting the needs in the name of Jesus. 13 years later it was turned into a legal entity with a military structure.
