VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED.....

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO....

As a personal policy (I don't fault those who do otherwise) I do not give money to people who claim to be homeless. There are several reasons:

1) I don't want the money to be used for drugs or alcohol.
2) I don't want the money to be used for illicit sex.
3) There are those who make a living by pretending to be homeless who have nice homes and cars, and live tax-free off their panhandling income.

That being said, if a person asks me for money for food, I always offer to walk the person to the nearest fast food restaurant to buy him/her something to eat or, if I have them on hand, I will give the person a restaurant gift card. If someone is hungry or thirsty, I do my best to meet his/her physical need and present the person with the gospel.

Jerry approached me while the team and I ministered in Leicester Square. He asked for a pound, for train fare. He also said he was hungry and had not eaten yet today. I offered to walk with him to the nearby Burger King and get him something to eat.

That wasn't quite good enough for Jerry.
