Courageous Compassion, September 2, 2009
Dear Friends,
Here I am. Let's go to work.
I've been working for Week of Compassion for a whole week now. It's already been quite the thrill ride - from getting to know Amy and Elaine to figuring out how I can best put my skills to work for this important, vital ministry. I'm glad to partner with each of you; thanks so much for supporting Week of Compassion. I look forward to meeting many of you, visiting your congregations, and above all, building relationships that will help us live into the Courageous Compassion needed to help those who are affected by disaster, poverty, violence, and injustice.
Peace,
Brandon Gilvin
Associate Director
