I think most of us have been in a place like this. I onced lived in IL and the church I attended was almost the best Pentecostal Church I have seen with helping those in need with in their doors. We took up offerings for a family to keep them in their home when one of the adults lost their job. We raised enough to keep them in and give them almost 5 months surplus. The church helped me when my car broke down and I didn't have the money to fix it. I paid them back, but it was a fight for them to accept the money in return. These churches in our movement are far, few and inbetween it seems.
