You pull up to the street corner. There’s that grungy guy again, holding his cardboard sign.

You feel a nudge like you should help him somehow. But the idea scares you. So you avoid eye contact.

Jesus makes it crystal clear that we need to serve the poor. Yet every time we see an opportunity, we feel intimidated.

How do we get over that?

Take the advice of Blake Brouillette, a young man who’s the director of Christ in the City, a ministry to the poor. For eight years now, he’s been working with people on the streets.

That’s why he’s the perfect guy to tell you:

● How you should introduce yourself to a homeless person.
● What the poor really need, deep down (and so do you).
● Simple ways you can serve them like Jesus tells you.

You’ll want to remember this next time you see someone on a street corner.
