Prayer For The Simple Way


The Simple Way is a community of Christians who live in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. One of its most "famous" residents is Shane Claiborne, who wrote the book The Irresistible Revolution. Most of their work and housing was destroyed by a fire this morning. Shane lost everything. Their community center was lost in the fire. This is a sad tragedy.

You can read more about it at their website.

Please be in prayer for this community and perhaps think about donating money to help them out.

i copied and pasted this as a bulletin on Myspace.

3rd Place is going to help out. i think we can do more than throw money at this though. i am sure they need blankets, clothes, canned goods, shoes...who knows. i am going to look into it. Thanks for posting it.

That makes me so sad
I really hope that his friends/community reach out to him I'm glad that 3rd Place is doing something.
Darrell and Zach were in downtown Philadelphia and said they couldn't believe how many homeless are on the streets/subway stations.
