Homeless Donor Inspires North Carolina Church

Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

A homeless man who left an 18 cent donation to a North Carolina church along with a message that melted the hearts of all who read it is asking to remain anonymous despite a media campaign to identify him.

The note read: “Please don’t be mad. I don’t have much. I’m Homeless. God Bless.”

One of the organizers of the Muffin Ministry of First United Methodist Church of Charllotte said that the man told her he wants to stay behind the scenes.

“He’s a very humble person he doesn’t want to be noticed or recognized,” Ann Huskey said in an exclusive interview with People.

The pastor said that he met with the man and said that many church members made offers of support.

“I said, ‘There are people that are willing to help you financially. They are concerned about you,’ ” Pastor Patrick Hamrick said.

The man rejected the offers, saying the gift was between him and God.  The pastor hopes that the man will accept the invitation for a job interview offered by a local businessman.

  1. I thought the local churches are suppose to help the community. Most churches will not offer anything but food, even to it’s contributing members here in florida.
