This segment on the March 6 broadcast of CBS 60 Minutes is called "Hard Times Generation". It is about the "new breed" of homeless people, the families with children living in cheap motels; trapped there by their minimum wage jobs, having lost their homes and their possessions due to the recession. Can the poverty rate among children be 25%?!?
Its a little long, but you need to watch the whole video.
What is the church's response to this crisis right here in USAmerica? One church's response is noted here in Larry James' blog: $5.6 MILLION! What is the potential good that can be done by the USAmerican church, empowered by the Holy Spirit of God? It is limitless!
What does this mean for us in beautiful East Texas? Does this same issue exist here? Are there families renting cheap motel rooms, using nearly all the income they can generate? Absolutely! When the opportunity presents itself to be a part of the solution, please be generous, be ready, be Jesus to this generation! The world is watching!
