Topic: Impact and reality of poverty in the inner city's underprivileged persons in and around Los Angeles' Skid Row.  As pastor and advocate for his congregation on skid row, Jeff Thomas will help clarify the religious needs, physical challenges and counseling strategies involved in overcoming the effects of inner city poverty.
