MAKE A PROFIT FOR THE POOR
Young people in Coventry have been finding inventive ways to raise money for the work of the
Coventry Jesus Centre, including its drop-in for disadvantaged people.
Each was given £10 after a collection at the Coventry Jesus Centre. "The challenge was to reinvest it to make a profit for the poor!" explained Jesus Army leader, Iain Gorrie.
One enterprising young man bought scrap metal with his tenner, sold it to raise money to buy materials to build a skate ramp, which he sold on eBay for several hundred pounds.
All together £2,000 was raised by around 25 people.
