One of our students at North Park University, Drew Daniels, went homeless for 40 days in Chicago. He did a documentary about his experience, which was a powerful learning experience for him, and I want to announce to folks on the West Coast — from Seattle down to San Diego, that Drew will be on the road (on a bike) this summer and hopes to screen his movie and to speak to pastors and to youth leaders and to youth groups about how to learn to recognize the needy in our own communities. You can contact him, if you are interested in having him speak to your group, through this blog and I will send your address on to Drew. Fantastic young man and I hope some of you will show some interest in this project.

This is his vimeo/video documentary about his experience. Please take the time to listen and watch … and learn … and begin …  first the trailer then the full video:
