I found an NPR story with quite a bit about David David Hilfiker, an MD who moved his family to Washington DC to live amongst the poor with a ministry of the Church of the Saviour. (Book Review of Not All of Us Are Saints: A Doctor’s Journey With the Poor here) The audio about the COS ministries is in minutes 13-20 of the audio)

Making a Home at Joseph’s House, Sojourners Magazine/May-June 2001

Tucked back in the quiet streets of Adams Morgan in Washington, D.C., Joseph’s House looks much like every other house on its block. Its nondescript face belies the extraordinary mission of Joseph’s House: to provide a home for homeless men with third- or end-stage AIDS.

An upcoming event in DC sponsored by COS’s MInistry of Money (another very unique ministry that most every church in America would not touch with a ten foot pole—talking about our problems and temptations and failures to live as God intended becuase of money)
