Community First Village and Friends w/Perri Verdino-Gates

You Brew You

This was one visit that could have gone on for hours! But when Perri Verdino-Gates shared that she worked for Barney and Friends "for years and years" and TOTALLY surprised me with that little nugget, and the question cards went out the door, the wheels came off and we went wherever the Spirit chose to take us. Perri and Kari met during a service day with Mobile Loaves & Fishes' Community First! Village, a 51-acre master-planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. She unwraps the gift in today's episode layer upon layer - her gift for story telling will have you hanging on to the very last moment where she shares... OH NO! I'm not going to spoil her last story.
