Grace in 30

Bryan Jones is the Associate Director of the NorthStar Church Network, a collection of 180 Northern Virginia church congregations representing a wide variety of ethnic, language, and cultural groups.  Kirstie Sherman is a Development Advisor with Feed My Starving Children.  Their two organizations joined forces recently at the Dulles Expo Center where thousands of volunteers packed over 5 million meals in three days for starving children overseas.  Volunteers also dropped off over 6,700 pounds of food for the local Capital Area Food bank at the event, which was dubbed the 2016 Food Fight.  We interviewed Bryan and Kirstie just two days before the food packing event kicked off.

Milton Brown is a longtime DC resident who battled a heroin addiction for 37 years.  In the same year he overcame his addiction, he became homeless and remained so for four years.  Milton never knew his father, and his mother abandoned him and his brother when he was 9 years old.  He’s the father of two sons – one of whom was murdered over 20 years ago on the streets of Washington DC.  Since emerging from homelessness in 2012, Milton has committed himself to raising awareness of the plight of the homeless and addicted, and to sharing the source of power that helped him emerge from a life of anguish.
