The current state of affairs in this country is terrible, however, their are those that have been suffering long before the economic collapse we have now. The poor and needy, it has been written, will always be among you, however, this is a false statement in many ways. The reason why these are among us is because mankind's greed and selfishness. People with billions give some, yet maintain funds they can never take when they go to the next world. Cities filled with millions create incapable means of helping all and poverty and crime rise. Thomas Jefferson stated: "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." Cities over 3,500 are deemed an abomination to our Creator because it denies us to help one-another and condones poverty and crime. This must change.
Incomes less than $15,000 a year are deemed poverty rate, and in these areas the homeless rate is relatively substantial (John M. Quigley, et al., HOMELESS IN CALIFORNIA: Empirical results, at viii, Berkley & Public Policy Inst. of Calif., An Francisco (2001)). Starting in the 1980's the homless rate in the United States have substantially rose and not yet declined. (Quigley, at 1). It is estimated that just in California there is about 360,000 homeless people in need of assistance, 37% being families with children. (Quigley, at 12; Homeaid cite as of 1/30/2009). In a Sacramento survey, according to the Sacramento Bee, in 2007 there were 2,452 homeless (including chronically homeless), and this year there is about 2,678 homeless on January 28. (Ed Fletcher, SacBee.com, Monday, August 11, 2008, page 2B). In metropolitan areas, like Sacramento, homeless averages 11 per 10,000 residents. That is a substantial number of people living in the streets without jobs, food, or means to sustain themselves.
Given 37% of poverty affects families with children, it is noted that homeless children is on the rise. In 1999 it averaged 332, to a whopping 919 in 2001, according to Sacramento City Unified Homeless Program coordinator, Monica McRho. Preschool holds majority of these homeless children.
Working church for Jehovih will be a combined 501(c)(3) plus a church, thereby allowing benefits a normal church cannot supply. The purpose is to set up actual vocational centers to teach skills, and help support the church and organization. Such vocational trades will be computers; auto mechanic; auto body repair; upholstery; clothing; and kitchen/restaurant type training. These will afford means for bringing in funding, with all net going to the organization to help others. It will supply not only a trade, and employment, and help in housing via the church. After a basic 9-12 month training, a person should acquire sufficiently by joint efforts to purchase a rental, buy food, clothing, and be helped in employment placement. These efforts should start reducing poverty and crime within our society, but the Working Church for Jehovih needs your help to get off the ground. Please send any donations to: Educational-Outreach-Integrated-helpers; c/o: Working Church for Jehovih; Gustav Skurdal, Pres./Priest; at 5520 Omega Court, # 54; North Highlands, CA 95660.
If 1,000,000 people sent a mere $1.00 plus a $0.42 stamp, it would be a substantial assistance. Tell your friends, and give freely. Remember, the I AM gives you your breath, motion, thoughts, sight, strength, and all you are freely everyday; can you not give a little to help your poor brothers and sisters and help build a working church for our Creator? Please give?
