The pastor of a Sacramento megachurch had already raised the money he sought for a program to provide food and shelter to the homeless. But Rick Cole, who began the fundraiser with a stunt where he would live on the streets, couldn't leave after only a few days. So, the 57-year-old spent the next two weeks living life as the homeless do -- and the experience opened his eyes. "I've walked past people that stay in some of the places of homelessness. And really almost not even noticed them, not considered their plight and what's going on in their life. Now I was living among them," Cole said. "They matter to God. They matter to me, and now I'm trying to figure out why didn't they matter to me before."
