MIDLAND, TEXAS - "I’ve been on a journey the past six to eight years trying to figure out what to do about the poor,” the white-haired man said to the group attired in matching T-shirts and sitting around tables in the hotel conference room.

It was 8 in the morning on Good Friday. This was no holiday for the group of West Texans who had traveled by car, truck or airplane to the tip of Texas to be part of Rock the Desert’s first mission trip.
