Before I became a Christian my family was helped by a local Church. They supplied a food basket and toys for the kids. In the bottom of the large box of food was a simple paper back Bible and a letter inviting us to visit the particular church that provided the assistance. Even before I was a believer I did not feel as though I was being preached to or taken advantage of. It was the first time I saw first hand that Churches and Christians really do care about something other than themselves and rules.
