"Doing good works in imitation of Jesus, and in his name, is the driving force that motivates some young people involved in many efforts.

Most often this is accomplished via such charitable efforts as fighting poverty and hunger, providing medical care for sick people, defending religious freedom, and/or aiding in local disaster relief"-- Provided by publisher.
