JESUS' Heart for the Poor

We will be studying Scripture passages related to the poor and Jesus' interactions with social outcasts and those on the fringes of society. What can we learn about how we should think about and treat the poor (both locally and globally)? What can we learn FROM the poor - what lessons can we take from developing countries on the importance of community and how can we learn to value people over things. We will do more than just talk about how to help the poor. Once a month we'll go from ivory tower discussion to grassroots and hands-on by volunteering at a local non-profit.

In his free time, he enjoys photography, swing dancing, karaoke and the occasional lightsaber battle.
