Simply stated, we represent a community of people who seek to live among, reach out to, and defend the rights of the marginalized in society. We accomplish this mission through acts of compassion.
Together, we are doing our best to respond to Christ’s call on our life to serve the poor. Our first experience with the truly marginalized was on short term service trips – Heather among the hurting in Honduras and Eric worked with refugees in Croatia. These initial experiences sent us on a journey. Now, for the better part of 10 years we have been actively working in slums, mountain villages, urban outposts and in conflict zones. After spending time working in the corporate / Christian ministry sector(s) we have committed the remainder of our lives to reach out to, live among and care for those on the edge of society. Today we have settled our family in an urban neighborhood in New Haven, Connecticut with others who have similar interests.
Neighborhood Initiatives we have committed to are:
- Compassion House
- Fairhaven Food Pantry
- Urban Restoration Projects
- Outreach to the Homeless and Prostitutes
We look forward to working together with you to fully fund and complete the work outlined above.
