This is the first episode telling the stories of some musicians who've come to America as refugees. It's a creation odyssey. The creation of Kuomba Ministries. Like any odyssey, this one involves death, new life, near-death, and some inexplicable, supernatural forces inserting themselves in human events from one side of the planet to another. Today's thing is this building, the Wesley Heights Methodist Church in Northeast Kansas City. This episode is "The Distance Between You and Me. Part 1"
