Border Crossings
July 10, 2011
I'm going to tell the story of my faith journey and my call to Family Place through reading excerpts from my memoir, Border Crossings: A Spiritual Journey in Medicine. The Family Place is a mission of the 8th Day Faith community. It is a community center located at 16th Street and Park Road NW where low-income families with preschool children can find services such as prenatal and parenting classes, family literacy and ESOL programs, nutrition and medical services. It’s now 31 years old and it has been supported by a Church of the Saviour Mission Group throughout its life.
