We all accept the fact that being a Christian demands that we get involved in the lives of those around us. We see the need and we have a lot of plans, but usually It is very easy to say that you are really going to get involved in some ones life, but getting involved is a bit more difficult. Have you ever experienced the frustration of trying to help someone, and ending up discouraged. Then you must join us at the Helderhoekie Familie-sentrum on the tenth of March 2011 at 18:30 for 19:00. We are going to watch the movie and then there will be time for discussion.
A movie for kids will be available in the adjacent room. We hope to see you there.

Storyline
In 2005, the only thing hurting Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez more than his face from a recent bike accident was his pressing need for story ideas. That is when he discovers Nathaniel Ayers, a mentally ill, homeless street musician who possesses extraordinary talent, even through his half-broken instruments. Inspired by his story, Lopez writes an acclaimed series of articles about Ayers and attempts to do more to help both him and the rest of the underclass of LA have a better life. However, Lopez's good intentions run headlong in the hard realities of the strength of Ayers' personal demons and the larger social injustices facing the homeless. Regardless, Lopez and Ayers must find a way to conquer their deepest anxieties and frustrations to hope for a brighter future for both of them.
