  • #16- Should Christians Give Money to the Homeless? - Erik Wiesemann

    Erik Wiesemann runs a not-for profit known as Light in my City. Light in my City supplies lanterns and efficient high powered flashlights to the homeless population in Pittsburgh, providing them with LIGHT, DIGNITY, and SAFETY. I've had the pleasure of knowing and serving the homeless community alongside Erik, and it is so incredibly evident that he loves Jesus, and he loves these people. Erik has formed so many strong relationships with the homeless in Pittsburgh and by the grace of God, has changed so many lives through Light in my City. I sat down and spoke with Erik about Light in my City, how it came out of a yo-yo club, and how the Lord has used it to change lives. Please welcome Erik Wiesemann to The Outlet!
