\"how<\/p>\n

There are homeless people all around.\u00a0You live near them, walk by them, and see them almost every day.<\/p>\n

But what do you DO about them? What can<\/em> you do?<\/p>\n

If you give them money, will they spend it on drugs and alcohol? Aren’t they homeless because they don’t want to work? Shouldn’t they just go get a job? Isn’t the government taking care of them?<\/p>\n

There are so many questions about homeless people. And so few of us have any answers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learn the answers to these questions and learn how to love homeless people from someone who spends large amounts of time with the homeless every week. <\/p>\n

Learn how to help the homeless<\/h2>\n

Sam Riviera has been loving and serving the homeless people in his area for many years. I have recently been trying to begin showing love and service to the homeless in my own area, and asked him for suggestions and advice. In response, he wrote 13 blog posts on how to love the homeless.<\/p>\n

The stories Sam shares are often heart-wrenching, but more than this, Sam’s deep love for Jesus and how he wants to share this love with those who rarely see it is truly beautiful.<\/p>\n

If you have questions along the way about loving and serving the homeless, Sam is quite active in the comments on this blog, and will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.<\/p>\n
