try to think about following Jesus in your city in some of the following ways...

• visiting a homeless shelter to help, then spending the night there
• taking granola bars and juice boxes to the bus and train station and sharing them with weary travelers and their small children
• gathering several friends to cook a meal, then taking it to a homless shelter and staying to eat it there with them and visit
• visiting an urban nursing home where some residents haven't had a visitor in years
• purposefully picnicking in a city park where homeless people gather and bringing more than enough food to share with them
• adding another 'class' to the academic schedule - ie. committing to tutor a small child from an 'at-risk' neighborhood and come weekly to help with homework
• spending every day for a month at the home of an elderly or disabled person helping with housework, lawnwork or light house repairs
• planning a thanksgiving 'hunger feast' on campus or church to raise awareness and $$$ for world hunger ( www.wr.org )
• adopt a child through compassion international and raise support monthly witha group of friends through bake sales, car washes etc... ( www.compassion.org )
• handing out 'hunger banks' on campus or at church to collect people's daily loose change and donating that money to a cause like World Relief ( www.wr.org )
