    00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.080
>> My name is Brian Jenkins.

    00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.170
I'm the Executive Director
of Chosen 300 Ministries.

    00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:07.020
While Chosen 300 is interdenominational
[Inaudible] mission,

    00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:11.100
we focus on providing relief to the poor
and to the homeless and to the needy.

    00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:15.160
We distribute about 150,000 meals a
year throughout the Philadelphia region.

    00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.190
We have three regional locations.

    00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:19.820
One is in Center City, West
Philadelphia, and Pottstown.

    00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:24.250
We not only provide meals but we do job
training, computer labs, expungement services.

    00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:26.730
We even have a barbershop where
you can get a haircut for free

    00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:30.310
and the idea is not just give a
man a fish, but teach a man to fish

    00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:32.150
so they could move towards self-sufficiency.

    00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:37.090
We also distribute over 300,000 pounds of food
around the world in 22 locations worldwide.

    00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:43.010
We operate in Guyana, Jamaica, India,
Nigeria, South Africa, Liberia, Uganda.

    00:00:43.010 --> 00:00:46.450
We have an orphanage in Andhra
Pradesh, India for 390 children.

    00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:49.330
We help escape child prostitution,
work in a rice paddy field,

    00:00:49.330 --> 00:00:50.860
or being killed and sold for their body parts.

    00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:54.120
We can pull those kids off the streets
and provide a place of safe haven for them

    00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:57.960
and also a refuge so they can
grow up and live productive lives.

    00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:58.700
We've built wells.

    00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.070
We've done agriculture development.

    00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:03.890
We just recently settled land so
we can build a school in Uganda.

    00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:09.620
So we really focus on just a holistic
ministry of helping people not only get food,

    00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:13.650
but also get the aid that they need to move
towards self-sufficiency but most importantly,

    00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:16.910
to give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
which gives them hope for their journey.
