The Difference Maker - Food Pantry

Описание: Street Cut Diamonds presents: “The Difference Maker”

Jack Ream woke up one day to a stranger’s voice. It was God. And He had a critical message for him: give up everything and help the poor.

Jack did.

This is his story.

Jack Ream founded The Greater Dover New Philadelphia Food Pantry, a non-profit, all-volunteer facility in Ohio known for its unflinching fight in the war on hunger.

And they’re winning!

But this didn’t happen overnight. Jack first had to convince his incredible group of donors and volunteers to give up their time, their comfort and their own needs, and put themselves in complete service to the poor.

They did!

This is their story.

I first learned about the Food Pantry while I was filming the Homeless Shelter project. Both were founded by Jack Ream...an amazing, selfless man. The entire video was filmed in nine visits. I must have been asked at least a dozen times 'What is this for?' or 'Why are you here filming?'. Always difficult for me to answer because I didn't know the reason. I would respond with something like 'I'm not sure. I'm here to record what I feel God wants me to record'. I'm still not sure why I spent all those days at the Food Pantry, or the Homeless Shelter. I hope it will be made clear to me one day.
