Originally, Francis worked with his father's fabric store in Assisi. Next he tried becoming a knight to fight in a war against a neighboring town. He was taken prisoner and spent about a year as a prisoner of war. During this time he had a revelation from God to "Rebuild His Church." Once out of jail, Francis divested himself of all possessions, disowned his father, and became a wandering friar who, eventually attracted a number of followers who later become the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor. They lived in poverty and assisted the poor, the sick and tried to reform some abuses going on at the time in the Church.
