The Bible has a lot to say about poverty. Most of it refers to material poverty—which is why we are focusing on that this series—but the Bible also recognizes the poverty of isolation, loneliness and invisibility.

"Just a note of thanks. I came across the site, having heard Greg speak in Ireland many moons ago. The church here is a bit jaded, we have found. Groupthink, lack of going deep, fear, perhaps, of facing tough questions. [WH has] great sermons, and not just from Greg. Real food for a somewhat undernourished Irish Christian. Keep it up! Ian from Ireland"

This meant a lot to me. My daughter was befriending someone is her H.S. when she was a junior. Ask to be her lab partner…over about 3 days – the girl was a slow learned and avoided by others.
Then the girl did not show up again and the school admin had to tell my daughter that the girl had committed suicide. Much of my daughters time after that was to not let that be forgotten…to be a light to the ‘invisible people out there’.
