On Saturday, October 21, Western Baptist State Convention of California Women’s Department coordinated new items for the homeless donated by member churches in the Los Angeles area. The program was part of the WBSC Our Brothers’ Keeper Homeless Project.
The Women’s Department were inspired to action by the words of WBSC President J. Benjamin Hardwick, who stated, “Scripture reminds us of the reward for them who is kind to the poor.”
