Today we received an article from him called “The Story of a Night Shelter Bus” about a discarded double-decker bus, a community who saw an incredible need, and the ingenious way that Charles has brought partners together to bring God’s love and shelter to abused children.

Please read the story here and think about ways that you might build trust with others and partner to help solve the big problems of your community through the creative love of Jesus.

The church leaders in the most violent and impoverished slums are now working together to proclaim and demonstrate the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Tens of thousands of children and adults are being served and helped daily.
