Justice in the Suburbs

by Heather Larson

Financial poverty exists everywhere, even in the suburbs. However, to see poverty in the suburbs, you have to look for it. Churches can be unfairly criticized for ignoring the poor in their own back yard. However, Heather Larson is the Associate Director of the Global Connections Ministry at Willow Creek Community Church. Through her long commitment to being an advocate for the poor, and recent shifts in the church's priorities - Heather has found herself as the leader of a movement that garners the power of the mega-church to transform the lives of those around them.

Heather,

Wow! I listened to your passionate appeal tonight and remembered classroom days many years ago. You have developed and grown into a forceful speaker and a caring individual. I am so glad to see you with a mission and witness for the Lord. Keep up the good work.
