A member of the prayer team holds hands with a visitor who chose to be prayed for at Hell House in Cedar Hill, Texas October 30, 2006. Hell House puts a Christian spin on the traditional haunted house by using its parishioners as actors to portray scenes depicting issues such as abortion, suicide and school shootings. At the conclusion of the tour visitors are brought into a "decision room" where they are ministered to and offered a chance to receive salvation. Trinity Church officials estimate that close to 500 people over the ten days they've been open thus far this year have received salvation. REUTERS/Jessica Rinaldi (United States) - GM1DTVMVMIAA

Samuel Cole, 85, poses for a portrait in the motorhome in which he lives on the streets of Los Angeles, California, United States, November 12, 2015. Cole is a retired truck driver who began living in his motorhome two years ago when he couldn't afford the $100 rise in his rent. Los Angeles is grappling with a massive homelessness problem, as forecasted El Nino downpours threaten to add to the misery of thousands of people who sleep on the streets. Mayor Eric Garcetti has proposed spending $100 million to combat the problem in the sprawling metropolis but stopped short of declaring a state of emergency.
