9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
I have had to put down this book several times because of the phrases and ways that people were desrcibed. While I was very glad to see someone step out of their norm, and think that is admirable, as a homeless person some of the things said were offensive to me. "FROM UPPER_- MIDDLE CLASS PLUSH TO SCUM OF THE EARTH REPULSIVE" I am not repulsive,
Im the opposite of most of you guys here, not that im not a christian, i am. What i mean is that i haven't read the book at all. I have however met Mike in person at missions fest last year. It was really cool getting to meet him.
Good book, great idea. Hanging with the untouchables. building relationships and just being present in the slums. Christians gotta go out and just BE and love in those places where there is no love. a light in the darkness. Jesus was the example so we could do the same.
What an amazing testimony! Living the Christian life is all about demonstrating the LOVE of Christ!!! Do people see the love of Jesus when they meet you? Do they know that you care? God is not willing that any man should perish... God is a God of When you are close to Jesus, your love shines through your life and it is evident to those around you. Thank you for posting this video. May it encourage all of us to live the life of Christ, not just speak it. God bless!

Loved reading the book, read it in one day cause I couldnt put it down. Cool to see some video footage too. Definitely challenging! I gotta think some stuff over.
I am so glad that some one is being reckless with their faith. choosing to be weak. My heart bleeds to see and hear the cries of the homeless for love, but I get angry when I see "christians" ignoring their voices. Jesus is moving in this generation causing a revolution of love. Love is the word, the fire for our lives. Change is in the about to happen. The Gospel of Christ not be hushed no matter how hard anyone tries to stop it.
churches will only help you out, in their way. they will make you a mission stiff in a jesus jail. most rescue missions and rescue churches make big money off the misery of the homeless. some examples would be , salvation army, reno-sparks gosple mission, bell street mission in reno, portland rescue mission, and thousands of other small mission accross the country. the people that give to these organizations think they are doing good, to make themselves feel better and relieve their guilt.
this is very untrue. I am sorry that you think so. Although I agree that all missions are not christ centered the church is the people that reach out to others, with abunding love and compassion. I do not believe in religion, but I do know a Jesus that out loves, out accepts and outforgives. He did say that the poor with have the kingdom of heaven!

Grr... it's hard to help the homeless when you're trapped in Suburbia and it feels like no one even WANTS your help.

it's not just homeless you should help, it's people. People in general.
