The Donate Button is on the Right

I did the math, and over the last 23 years, The King’s Jubilee has served or provided about half a million meals to homeless people or to needy children or seniors on fixed incomes. We have distributed tons of clothing and blankets to families in need. We have moved dozens of houses full of furniture from . . . → Read More: The Donate Button is on the Right

Mount Moriah Cemetery Update

The McGraws, John Haggerty and I went to the Friends of Mount Moriah cemetery meeting in February. It was very encouraging. The city’s managing director’s chief of staff was there and talked about the progress of disentangling the ownership issue. The plan is that they want to turn it over to a public/private board with a . . . → Read More: Mount Moriah Cemetery Update

Are We Ready to Turn America Upside Down?

Is it time to dream big?

We started off the summer with high hopes. My health seemed finally back on track after the ordeals of the staph infection on the spine, the morphine overdose in the hospital, the secondary infection, the reactions to the antibiotics, renal failure, the ICU, the hives, the prednisone, hives again, the long slog back to finally feeling . . . → Read More: Is it time to dream big?

Why Do We Travel So Far to Serve?

Aren’t there poor people right here in Souderton? Why go all the way to Philadelphia? The short answer is that is where the 150 inmates in the Bible study I led at Graterford Prison, with one voice, told me to go in 1989 when I laid out the vision for The King’s Jubilee. Of course, since . . . → Read More: Why Do We Travel So Far to Serve?

Picnic is Cancelled

The picnic that was scheduled for August 20 at our house has been cancelled. Our yard is still pretty dusty, although the grass has started to grow. My health has not been reliable enough for us to host this event. I had another 12 day long migraine, then two days of aftermath, then another five day . . . → Read More: Picnic is Cancelled
