As I saw the man drunk in the street, I thought to myself, Just leave him. There’s nothing you can do. Then a simple question came to mind: What would I do for a friend?

One day early in my experience of living and ministering in the Bronx, I was walking to the grocery store and saw a crowd of people. As I walked closer, I saw a man unconscious on the ground. His face was blue. I had recently received CPR training but never thought I would actually use it.
