Breaking Down Stereotypes and Living God's Love

“The weekend was definitely eye-opening, as I did not really know what to expect going into it. I had this idea going into the weekend that people living on the street were unintelligent, because if they were intelligent they would get a job and a home.

I realized through the course of the weekend that I really have no idea how people ended up on the street or how intelligent they are. All I really know about is that they are God's most precious creation, and they should be acknowledged and respected as that.

I learned that God is the ultimate judge in a way I never really considered before, and I also came to the understanding that God created us to love us; He loves every one of us, and I am called to be an extension of that love to the people I meet.”

-Trevor Martin, Alma Bible Church
