    A Great Example of the Collective Church at Work Serving Homeless

    This video is was shared with me by a family member who lives in AZ. Their church actively participates in this program. It is encouraging to see the collective church partnering and serving the homeless together as one "body." We used to have something like this in Santa Cruz in the form of the Interfaith Satellite Shelter Program started in 1986. Up until a few years ago, a number of churches were still participating in it.

    How encouraging would it be once again to have it start up and serve the community, if enough churches were willing. What holds the church back from engaging and leveraging one of the greatest assets they have, a building to serve those who don't have a safe place to lay their head?
