Ep. 131 The Problem of Modern Charity

The way the Church does charity work seems to be broken. While claiming to help the poor, the poor never seem to be helped out of their poverty. Why is that? Is the way the Church views and does charity even biblical?

Until the end of the month of July you can support the ministry of InFaith by buying coffee! Head over to coffeehelpingmissions.com and choose the coffee you'd like to buy. When you go to check out you will need to enter my personal code in the "Fundraiser Code" section and that code is InFaith-461.
Then you'll need to select one of CHM's official missionaries (I always tell people to choose Jared and Cindy Jenkins as I personally know them).
Once you've entered my fundraising code and the Jenkins as your selected missionary you'll see that a portion of the profits goes to my ministry with InFaith and a portion goes to the Jenkins. It's that easy!
