Reflecting and Reimagining: An Evening of Storytelling, Story-listening & Cultivating Our Prophetic Imagination

Whether you are a long time friend of BFJN, have been with us on our year-long journey with housing justice or are new to us and this work, this evening is for you. We’ll hear powerful stories, share what we’ve learned, and explore how our faith calls us to confront injustice and build a world where everyone can thrive.

This event also serves as a critical fundraiser to sustain our work and ensure we can continue to serve vulnerable communities in meaningful ways and call and equip Christians to serve, learn and advocate in pursuit of a more just world. Your presence and contribution will help us continue and expand this vital mission.  We look forward to sharing this time of reflection and reimagination with you!
