Austin Hill's Path: From Faith Crisis to Addiction Recovery Advocate
It was Jesus's grace in people's lives like getting to know people who were living outside, getting to know the women that worked Parsons avenue, just because of the work that was happening at the rescue mission we did. There was free lunch, dental clinic, Vision Clinic, there was workforce development, like programming there. There was a lot of volunteer opportunities. So bring a lot of people from churches who cared deeply about the suffering would come in, and then it was my job to keep them busy and that they were doing something productive and not hurting things.
