Okay, so we watched a movie in Bible the other day called 'Secret Millionaire'. It was about a guy who was a millionaire and decided to go to Skid Row, a place where people live in poverty. He had to live on $55.00, an amount he said he could spend without thinking normally, him being so rich.
So, he stays in this apartment for a week there and goes around the place talking to people and learning about their ways of life. This is what he said in an interview when asked, What did you take from the experience? "It was one of the most cherished experiences I’ve had in my life. I took so much from it. The focus of the episode was on homelessness and it made me more compassionate and open-minded to homelesness. I realized that most homeless people are not there as a function of their own choice, but because of circumstances around them."* The Secret Millionaire was not a christian, so I thought it was very neat for someone outside christianity to be doing something like this, though he had the wrong motive for doing it. But this should be a motivator for christians to go out and do this kind of stuff.
