WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: I sold a silver dollar about three years ago for $525,000.<\/p>\n

LUCKY SEVERSON<\/strong>, correspondent: The Book of Matthew says it\u2019s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. Wayne Miller takes that scripture seriously.<\/p>\n

WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: I have a concern for these people when they go up, and I believe in a heaven and a non-heaven, when they go up there how are they going to explain, you know, what they\u2019ve done with their money?<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: Miller knows about money. He\u2019s made enough of it. His little coin shop in downtown Helena, Montana has done more than $325 million in business since it opened 45 years ago. This is his son, Dave.<\/p>\n

DAVE MILLER<\/strong>: Seriously, when they get any money their first thought is who can we bless? Who can we give this money to? I say that out of every $1,000 my dad gives $999 of it away without even thinking.<\/p>\n

\"post01-godslove\"SEVERSON<\/strong>: Over the years, Miller has given away millions of dollars to charities all over the world, especially to the people of Helena. He knows that some have taken advantage of his and his wife\u2019s generosity but says they would rather err on the side of love.<\/p>\n

WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: God doesn\u2019t ask you about your ability or your inability. He asks you about your availability, and we happened to be available at a time when people were wanting to start a shelter.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: <\/strong>They called it God\u2019s Love, and as homeless shelters go this one stands apart.<\/p>\n

ANN MILLER<\/strong>: Unconditional love\u2014you know, everybody talks about that, but what that means to us is that before they ever walk in the door the first time, we already love them. We don\u2019t wait to see who they are or how they act or what their problem is or if they\u2019re lazy. We already love them.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: Joe Wojton, one of God\u2019s Love managers, has worked in other shelters around the country.<\/p>\n

JOE WOJTON<\/strong>: Everybody who comes through our door are people with problems, not problem people, and we treat everybody with love when they come through our door because we realize the people we\u2019re seeing\u2014some have never been homeless before. This is a very scary experience, and we try to love them up the best we can.<\/p>\n

\"post03-godslove\"SEVERSON<\/strong>: The shelter usually accommodates about 40 homeless downstairs and has rooms for nine families upstairs. But most of the people they feed here are not homeless. They have jobs and live in the community.<\/p>\n

DAVE MILLER<\/strong>: People rely on us in the middle of the month to eat down here. They know the food stamps and the food boxes are only going to make it a couple of weeks, so they rely on us to come down, on their ability to come down and eat.<\/p>\n

ANN MILLER<\/strong>: It doesn\u2019t take a lot of misfortune to be on the street these days. I think everybody in America knows that right now.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: Dave Miller runs God\u2019s Love and gives 10 percent of his salary back to the shelter.<\/p>\n

DAVE MILLER<\/strong>: Yeah, we\u2019ve seen a big change. Every day we have families that come in and say, \u201cMy husband had a great job making a lot of money. He got laid off. We can\u2019t make next month\u2019s rent.\u201d Unfortunately, it used to be just couples. Now we\u2019re seeing them with children.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: People like John and Krista Loweman, who is pregnant. Both were employed in South Carolina until they lost their jobs and came west looking for work and landed here.<\/p>\n

\"post04-godslove\"(speaking to John Loweman): So you came here looking for work?<\/p>\n

JOHN LOWEMAN<\/strong>: Yes, looking for work, anything, just a better life for me,my wife and my baby.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: But there was no jobs?<\/p>\n

JOHN LOWEMAN<\/strong>: No, sir.<\/p>\n

KRISTA LOWEMAN<\/strong>: Nothing, not even for me, and I\u2019ve been to school.<\/p>\n

ANN MILLER<\/strong>: We tell them that they can have three days no questions asked, just rest, eat, do their laundry, but after that they have to have a plan, and their plan usually is to find a job. But they can\u2019t find a job.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: But if they can’t find a job, it doesn’t mean they have to leave, as long as they keep looking.<\/p>\n

JOHN LOWEMAN<\/strong>: You have to put in five applications a day at least, and I do that every day but, you know, it\u2019s kind of hard.<\/p>\n

KRISTA LOWEMAN<\/strong>: It’s better than living in a car, though.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: Better than living in a car. You lived in a car for how long?<\/p>\n

KRISTA LOWEMAN<\/strong>: Six weeks.<\/p>\n

\"post06-godslove\"SEVERSON<\/strong>: Darcy Pfeiffer and her husband and baby boy live here. He works but can\u2019t afford the rent. Brenda Rutecki\u2019s husband died a year ago. She had no income, couldn\u2019t get a job, came here while she attended school to become a certified nursing assistant.<\/p>\n

BRENDA RUTECKI<\/strong>: You can\u2019t get a job if you don\u2019t have a phone. You can\u2019t get a job if you don\u2019t have a car. You can\u2019t get a job if you don\u2019t even have an address. So this is like our holding spot. We\u2019re all good families. We\u2019re all good people, but you\u2019ve got to have a start, and that\u2019s what they give us.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: One of the first things the Millers did was create a park next door to God\u2019s Love just for the homeless. Having a homeless shelter and a park near the center of town was not exactly pleasing to local businessmen. But Toby DeWolf, owner of Bert and Ernies, says any opposition has faded away.<\/p>\n

TOBY DEWOLF<\/strong>: I\u2019ve been here 25 years, and I have never seen a better run shelter. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a problem. I don\u2019t think that anybody has seen an issue with any kind of violence or crime or anything by any means with having a shelter down here.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: The Millers both graduated from Catholic University in Washington, DC with master\u2019s degrees. They have nine children, four of them adopted, and all of them, according to their father, are involved in one charity or another. There was a time when Wayne Miller, who is an expert on silver dollars, was measuring his life by the increasing value of his personal coin collection.<\/p>\n

\"post07-godslove\"WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: You know, I open up these catalogs, and they\u2019ve got coins there, $30,000 or $40,000, $50,000 coins that I would dearly love to have, and I look at them and I say okay, I chose my path. If I did that I would be obsessed with that, and again, my whole measurement would be how advanced is your coin collection? And I didn\u2019t want that to be.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: It doesn\u2019t mean the Millers live in poverty. They travel, eat in the best restaurants, live in a very nice home with a swimming pool, but customers often wonder how successful a man can be if he rarely wears shoes.<\/p>\n

WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: People say can\u2019t you afford to wear shoes, and I say I can afford not to have to wear shoes.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: He provides the bulk of the funding for God\u2019s Love, millions of dollars over the years, but the shelter also receives a federal grant, money from the United Way and from other private donors.<\/p>\n

WOJTON<\/strong>: It\u2019s amazing when I go out to a church or to the local college, and I speak, and I hear from people, and they say, \u201cOh, we just thought the Millers pay for everything,\u201d and that\u2019s not the case. Wayne and Ann are wonderful, and Wayne donates a lot of money to God\u2019s Love, but we need the entire community effort to keep God\u2019s Love up and operating every year.<\/p>\n

ANN MILLER<\/strong>: And I think over the years we\u2019ve learned to love God more and more, and he\u2019s always been there for us. When we were thinking that maybe we weren\u2019t going to have enough money or whatever, he\u2019s always supplied it. It\u2019s been wonderful\u2014abundance, just like the Bible says.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: The Millers are also helping in various ways about 150 Helena families who don\u2019t live in the shelter. Altogether, he gives away about one-third of his gross income and is firmly convinced that it\u2019s what God wanted him to do.<\/p>\n

WAYNE MILLER<\/strong>: I can\u2019t imagine what it\u2019s going to be like. I\u2019m fascinated to learn what it\u2019s going to be like, but I am as certain as I can be that there is an afterlife and that I\u2019m really going to have fun.<\/p>\n

SEVERSON<\/strong>: The truth is he\u2019s having a pretty good time right now.<\/p>\n
