Candidates and Evangelicals; Christian Healthcare; The JVC

The Jesuit Volunteer Corps is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. It is one of a number of denomination- and church-related service organizations that gives young college graduates a chance to change their lives by living simply in community with one another and by serving those in need.

There are a number of Christian healthcare sharing ministries throughout the US. Unlike traditional insurance companies, they collect monthly dues and then distribute the money to subscribers who have medical bills to pay. Correspondent Lucky Severson reports on these programs and visits with members of one, Samaritan Ministries.

With evangelicals—a mainstay of the Republican coalition—divided over whether to support Donald Trump, Kim Lawton reports that both Trump and Hillary Clinton reached out to that community through video messages to an important Latino evangelical conference. Lawton looks at how Trump is ramping up efforts to secure evangelical support and interviews Trump campaign advisor Frank Amedia.

“There is a lot of wondering” among young Jesuit volunteers, says Father Rick Malloy, one of their chaplains. “There is a lot of thinking, and I have seen the fruits of it: “ruined for life.” They live their lives in a different way. This year goes very quickly,,,and there’s a real possibility of this impacting your life in ways that are transformative forever.”
