A rooftop tent is not a comfortable or convenient spot to spend 345 days, not in Chicago. But Corey Brooks did it to bring attention to Project H.O.O.D.
Pastor Brooks started the project to help the people of Chicago's south side. He wants to give them hope for a good future, to “end violence and build communities, one neighborhood at a time. We are creating leaders, strengthening character, seeking to end violence and generational poverty in urban areas. Our goal is to nurture these human resources and provide them with positive and consistent adult interactions."
It's not a small vision and they need a lot of money to do it. So far they've raised $28.5 million toward the $35 million goal.
The pastor and his wife are driven by a conviction that God gave the vision to them, wants them to do it, and will provide what it takes. Listen to him, the "Rooftop Pastor," on this podcast.
