Partnering with the City to House Folks without Homes
In today’s final conversation of season two of Rumors of Doing Good podcast, Ken & Rob are joined by Josh Hawk who helps lead St. Johns Church in Portland Oregon which was born when two local churches merged together when they realized they were better together than apart. With limited resources, they made a decision to partner with the city of Portland to provide a stable tiny house community for the most vulnerable in order to fulfill their calling to love their neighbors.
