The Cardboard Gospel

This is the story of a southern writer who came to NYC to make it big and ended up making it small as small as a child's backpack. Tennessee writer Donnie Lamon came to the Big Apple 4 years ago to make a name for himself and instead made a ministry. He lost his own name but found the names of hundreds of those unnamed and uncounted. Five Loaves and Shoeleather distributes care packages to the homeless on the streets of New York. Inside are the items that might help them to get through one night. Any one of us can help any one of us to get through one night. And sometimes one night can make all the difference in the world. Now instead of a bag full of books he carries gifts to give to these who perhaps have been given nothing. This is his passion now. His love. They are his passion. His love. And he still writes. He tells their stories. And maybe one person will hear. One person can make a difference. One person one night five loaves and a little shoe leather can still move this hard old world.
