Occasionally when I am walking in downtown Grand Rapids I will run into a guy with dirty clothes, smelling bad, looking homeless. When I am asked for money, my gut reaction is to want to help. Honestly though, oftentimes I have no idea what is the right response.
I will invariably pray for them, but I’m faced with the hard decision:
- do I give them money?
- do I buy them food?
- do I simply direct them to Mel Trotter Ministries?
Should I be doing more?
Join me in hearing from Ron Hall, author of “Same Kind of Different as Me” – you can check out the trailer to the movie, based upon the book, that is coming out soon.
Ron Hall’s friendship with a man that society had all but disregarded and given up teaches us all fundamental lessons – namely:
All people are valuable and loved by God.
Hear from some of Ron’s experiences and valuable lessons.
As he tells us in his book:
“To love a man enough to help him, you have to forfeit the warm, self-righteous glow that comes from judging.”
On Tuesday September 26, 2017 Mel Trotter Ministries will host its 3rd Annual Season of Hope Event at the JW Marriott with Ron Hall as our guest speaker.
We are still looking for corporate sponsors. Tickets are available here
Thank you to our Honorary Leadership Committee!
