The Secret millionare on ABC "Skid Row" episode (John Derber)

When "we" pass a homeless man or women with a sign asking for work or food or a little bit of change  while driving down the street whether it be in Oklahoma or Texas or anywhere, What goes through our mind at a 1st Glance "Well, They are lazy and cant find a job. It isn't my problem." , "Oh My Gosh Im not stopping ...They might mug me or something"  we rarely think about what the person has been though.
Skid  Row in L.A. has one of the biggest amount of homeless people in America. Many are trying to help, but are limited on funds and nescessities. Recently this year "ABC" (Channel 5 in OKLA.) premired a show called "Secret Millioniare". in the show, a "Millioniare" gives up "livin' on the ritz" to spend a week with people in need disguised and not allowed to tell anyone his/her real living situation. At the end of the week, the "Millionare" decides how much money to give to people making a significant difference for their community and reveals he is a millionare.
on the Skid row episode, our "millionare" was james derber. He went and spend a week ,living on only 50 dollers for the WHOLE week,  on L.A skid row. He met people who make a difference for those there. one man passed out items and necessities to the homeless and has given all of his time and money for the homeless . he dreamed to make a non-profit organization for his cause. John  Derber gave this man $25,000 and The man was able to build his non-profit . He also met a group if previously homeless people who made a b-ball tournment for skid row and made monehy through that for "skid-rowers" John gave them 25 G as well and paid for restoration of a historical mural that had been graffitied on and soiled.
He also met a women who had started a house for homeless single mothers. he gave her cause 50 G
People were blessed through his donations.
Honestly, i watched this episode a second time at mhy house and bawled my eyes out. We often sit on our hinneys when people need the love of god and help when they are struggling.


So are you going to sit around and play "angry birds" on your  fancy iphone or watch csi:ny or something when the lord calls you or are you gooing to answer the call???
