Just watched this video that tells the story of an incredible ministry in Washington , DC.

The Christ House Story from Christ House on Vimeo.

This is a brief description of how Christ House began:

Each day during those years, Janelle walked past the abandoned building that is now the home of Christ House. Homeless people slept on the steps or snuck inside during cold weather. At the same time, Janelle became aware that hospitals would discharge the uninsured more quickly than other patients, meaning that homeless people had to recuperate from major illness or surgeries while living on the streets or in shelters. She and Allen “called” together five other members of the Church of the Saviour community to create a prayerful mission group that included Marja and David Hilfiker, Don and Ellen Martin, and Sister Marcella Jordan. Together, these seven receive credit for envisioning and creating Christ House.

Yet another incredible story  of the church and its later incarnations in “Sister Communities”.  The founding pastor, Gordon Cosby,  is now a resident there.  They sold their Virginia home where they had lived for years and moved in.  I’m looking for some description of what led Gordon and his wife Mary to make this move
