This is from Eric Hogue’s blog about the topics on his Northern Ca radio show.

8 Homes and $18,500 to Jamaica’s Needy
Another great night on the show...
We had set out to build 'four' homes for the poverty stricken people of Jamaica with 'Food for the Poor', and we saw the audience respond. Our goal was 4 homes, and at $2600 a piece that equated nearly $10,000. When it was all said and done last night, the Northern California audience contributed over $18,000 and have helped to build 8 new homes for 8 needy families with 'Food for the Poor'.
If was amazing to see God work, as two individuals built a complete home themselves ($2600), and one military veteran and chaplain built 3 homes with his single donation. The rest came in donations of $130, $50 and those loved $10 donations. May God bless each and every heart...He will.
Today we are thankful, as we get back to our normal conversation on "The Eric Hogue Show".

Christians are good for the world. Look at the amazing good that is done for the poor through a Christian organization. This is the way it should be done. Private charity is good for the world. Government and taxes are not always the answer.
I just wanted to point out an example for anyone who says, “religion poisons everything” or Christians don’t practice what they preach.
Room for improvement? Yes. Room for total dismissal of Christianity? No.
