At the end of the day we'd come back, talk about our experiences, and then celebrate the Eucharist. That's the core that we began with. And we remain faithful to it. We are entirely funded by private donations from churches, businesses, and individuals and take no government monies. They've been doing that for 18 years.
Resurrection is also a major source of volunteers.
Funded by donations, we are free of government rules and regulations. Every program we start comes out of our relationship with the poor, who are coequal participants. They set the agenda. For example, we recently formed a landlord corporation of poor people who don't qualify for mortgages. They are now buying and rehabbing houses from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and are landlords and tenants to each other.
