Why San Francisco? - Pt. 2

Reason #3: Why "not" San Francisco? That should be question. It's as good a city as any. We know it for the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Penitentiary (The "Rock"), Ghiradelli Chocolate, Cable Cars, Haight-Ashbury Street, and more. But beyond the postcard pictures there exist a city that is not so "glossy." Poverty is a major issue. Just walk down the street and see how many times you get hit up for money. After-school programs for kids are struggling. People need to be fed. People need to be clothed. People need to be given shelter. Sounds a lot like Matthew 25 to me. And that's why we're going. We want to be available to serve in the name of Jesus. Because even though we may not be able to give "silver and gold" to ever person who asks us on the street, may we give what we do have in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 3:6).
