faith in ONE

As I became more and more involved with the ONE campaign, I became interested in how often the church is not involved with the social justices in the world. It is seen so often in American society, that the people involved with non-profit organizations, such as the ONE campaign are not affiliated with any religion. It struck me as odd, since in the Christianity religion, Christians are called to help the poor and oppressed. This may be their beliefs, but it seems that their actions are never seen or even heard of.

To be able to counteract this typical view, we decided to take a visit to a local church and get them involved with the ONE campaign. We went to Hillvue Heights Church and spread the word of the ONE campaign to the church's youth group on a Wednesday night. Our night turned out to be a success, because so many students were more that willing to hear and sign-up for the ONE campaign. Many of these students happened to be freshmen, and it was nothing short of amazing to see these students wanting to become so involved with ONE.

Maybe in the end this movement to get involved with local churches can disprove the thoughts of so many Americans that Christians don't care. Maybe we can show that anybody can make a difference in the world today.

Peace and Love.
