The next three

Hope Award | From hundreds of nominations, we’ve picked nine effective poverty-fighting groups for a $20,000 contest. Here are three of them. | Marvin Olasky

"When I saw kids who were like me, I couldn't walk away."

That comment is from the founder of Campus Clubs, the first ministry we profile in this issue. He grew up in poverty with a drug-abusing mom

Crucially, he saw. Now the kids he helps look at him and see someone who offers real change, not just spare change.

In chapter 3 of Acts, a beggar asks Peter and John for spare change. They could have walked by without truly seeing him as many of us habitually do, but Peter looked at him and said, "Look at us." The beggar "fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, 'I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!'"
