BeggarTown

Beggartown is a non-profit organization started by some college students from my church.

Their main purpose is to be a ministry that shares the Gospel and raises money for missions at the same time. Patrick Maguire and Zach Dodd, both former "Firehouse Band" members, came up with the idea for the organization. Tonight they were at Firehouse selling t-shirts and CD's of their band (BeggarTown). Right now they are raising money to help build an orphanage in Uganda Africa. Both Patrick and Zach had to quit their jobs to basically become missionary's. The form that their ministry takes and the way they present it is very cool.
