It's easy to get caught up in a lifestyle where we become accustom to luxuries. From a $7 cup of coffee to drive-thru everything, the American way of life as a whole has become mostly about "us" rather than "others". You see, even when our luxurious world is busy and bustling, there are other parts of the world that are crying out for help; for love and safety.

How they started.
More than 70 years ago, Rev. Everett Swanson flew to South Korea to minister to American troops fighting in the Korean War. During his time there, he grew increasingly troubled by the sight of hundreds of war orphans living on the streets, abandoned by society.
One morning he saw city workers scoop up what looked like piles of rags and toss them into the back of a truck. He walked up to the truck for a closer look — and was horrified to see that the "piles" were not rags, but the frozen bodies of orphans who had died overnight in the streets.
Appalled, Rev. Swanson began including this experience into his revival meetings, and Christians responded by donating funds to purchase rice and fuel for the orphans. Within 10 years, 108 orphanages and homes in South Korea were receiving support.
