Recognizing the severity of the global problem of childhood hunger and poverty McClurkin was resolved to help Christian organizations in their efforts to continue vital relief programs. “My goal was to help bring light to this desperate problem facing our communities and neighborhoods as well as the millions of people worldwide.

As I look back on my life and celebrate 50 wonderful years, my hope is to continue to make a lasting impact on people in need,” said Pastor McClurkin.
