from The Common Good Podcast Hosted by Brian From

(00:00-9:41): Robert Lewis is here from Cross International to tell us about this amazing ministry and what he does. $39 helps feed a child for a year, and CI is calling out to listeners to help. (09:41-19:01): Robert talks about a boy who was 19 pounds at age 16, on the verge of death. He asked to be healed by God. Now, he is healthier and eager to help others in his community building shelters and helping with food. (19:01-28:07): We hear again from Carlos Vargas about the joy of serving and doing what God calls us to do. God calls us to help the poor and those in need. (28:07-38:24): We close out the hour hearing from Emory Wilson. He talks about his experiences in Haiti and what he saw. He says it is so unnecessary for people to have to go hungry. (38:24-47:44): Robert talks about a station in Cleveland where a woman told the story of her terminal children. She said they were listening to the station, and her kids (who both have terminal disease) asked to donate money to the kids in need. (47:44-58:09): “Just picture 300 of the most beautiful children you’ve ever seen” “They have hopes and dreams”, Robert talks about the kids he has met in these impoverished countries that need our help. Each moment we spend is meant for something. (58:09-1:07:33): Robert shares a story about the largest gift Cross International received. The man who planned on giving $68,000 ended up giving much more. He expresses accolades to Brian and Ian and their radio ministry that helps “encourage memberships and helps keep the body of Christ strong”. (1:07:33-1:16:13): We close out the hour hearing of another miraculous story from Carlos Vargas. Jose is a child whose father abandoned the family when he was a child. Years later, Jose would be helping those in need in his community, and ended up helping a man who could not walk. It turned out that man was Jose’s birth father. He took care of him and led him to Christ.
