Chris King “Chess” - Broad Street Ministry

“Every person will be seen, recognized and restored. We will all be well fed in every aspect of life, and we will be made whole – even for just a few pure and powerful moments. The simplest acts of kindness can soothe the afflicted and transform the fortunate.”

Broad Street Ministry practices radical hospitality. Chris King, a Guest at Broad Street Ministry, is a recipient of that hospitality. FreshFly partnered with Glenn Holsten and the PEW Foundation to create a series of profile videos of the Guests — with the goal of the surrounding community becoming more familiar, aware, and perhaps even more compassionate of the people that live amongst them. As people, we all desire love, and it’s our hope that these videos will help those who are suffering, often the most, find it from their neighbors.

From the Broad Street Ministry website: There is always a seat at our table; there is enough for everyone. To those who have more than they need, we invite partnership and contribution. For those who are turned away elsewhere, our doors are wide and welcoming. In fact, our doors are open to all of our neighbors. On those who live in the shadows of solitude, we shower the sunlight of community. And to you, we extend an invitation to join us at our tables and help turn on the light.
