Every year for the past couple of years my family has put together care packages to share with homeless in downtown Sacramento. Every year for many more years my church has hosted Winter Sanctuary and opened up its doors to offer a warm meal and a dry and warm place to sleep for those who have no home. Every little bit helps and last night my church pastor made a decision that will be life changing. He left his wallet, his iPhone and his warm bed for the streets. He has set out to raise $100,000 for the Winter Sanctuary and will not come back home until every last dime has been donated. (Not to mention that today is his birthday). The homeless in Sacramento and the surrounding areas is no joke. I lived downtown for a number of years and my children were always frightened to death when they were approached by a homeless or if we came across someone sleeping in the alley. It was at that point that I decided to do something to stamp out there fears and to also find a way to open my families hearts to people that are just like us, only less fortunate. Pastor Rick Cole is embarking on something that will more than likely change his life and will most certainly change the lives of others as well.
God Bless you, Pastor Cole!
