Family Life’s “Hometown Heroes“
A quarter-century ago, Pastor Eric Johns experienced what he is convinced was a God Moment.
That year, and in each of the 25 since, the pastor of the Buffalo Dream Center has lived as a homeless person for a week, taking a backpack and a sleeping bag with him. In part he wanted the first-hand experience of “living outside”. In part he sensed a calling to connect with people who also were living on the streets.
In this Family Life Interview, Pastor Johns tells the genesis of the mission and evangelistic outreach which became the “Curbside Church“, the church’s efforts to provide gifts for children at Christmastime, and the unique man he met who was the only person who was opposed to Eric Johns spending a homeless week.
Find out more about their “Boxes of Love” here. Pastor Johns also produces a podcast entitled “Building Your Life”.
“Hometown Heroes” happens during the Family Life Noon report most Tuesdays, online and on the air.
