Niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Joins Glenn Beck's Border Relief Effort

Dr. Alveda King : Jul 25, 2014

"In our family, we care for the 'least of these.' We feed the hungry, clothe the sick, visit those in prison, and we do all that we can as servant leaders to serve God and minister to His people. Of course, from generation to generation, our methods of ministry have varied, and yet we still care about the poor the sick, the hungry, and the downtrodden."

It is an honor to stand with mercuryone.org and other compassionate leaders in aiding young immigrants on the borders. The opportunity to serve many of these children during this time of crisis was truly humbling. (Photo: L-R: Alveda King, Glenn and Tania Beck, and Pastor Stephen Broden at Sacred Heart Church)

I was praying to God for these innocent children when a call from Glen Beck's office came, inviting me to join in the July 19, mission in McAllen, Texas. I was relieved. This "Macedonian Call" in the midst of our current border crisis was an answer to prayer.

We, America, are at another pivotal moment in our history. Many different crises are occurring right now and how we handle them will show the world what kind of a country the United States of America truly is.
