Discussion: Community Change Agent

MY CHANGE AGENT IS MY PASTOR (SISTER-IN-LAW),HER NAME IS PASTOR DONALDSON. SHE HELPS AND FEEDS THE HOMELESS IN OUR COMMUNITY FREQUENTLY. SHE PASSES OUT CLOTHES, FOOD, COATS, AND EVEN MINISTERS TO THEM AND OFFERS THEM INFO AN SALVATION. SHE HAD A CALLING AT A YOUNG AGE AND AFTER A SHORT TERM IN THE MILITARY SHE PURSUED HER CALLING AND BECAME A FULL TIME MINISTER. RECENTLY SHE HAS BECOME ILL AND SHE HAS REFUSED TO LET THAT STOP HER. THIS IS WHO I WANT MY DISCUSSION BASED OFF.
