good news
I just heard back from someone at Good News Partners, who offer transitional housing for homeless people in Chicago, and he said they are interested in working with us and referring people for retreats. They started years ago with help from the Gatlins at Reba Place. The Gatlins' daughter is at Reba now, and she helped connect us with Good News Partners. Sounds like some good people to work with.
I also had a meeting last week with someone from the Ignatian Spirituality Project. They had been helpful to us, but then it really looked like we wouldn't be able to do much with them in the future. But the meeting went very well and now I wonder if God has opened that door again. A happy surprise.
