Conversations on a Bench
24 Hours. 1 Bench. Countless Conversations.
“Conversations on a Bench” is a storytelling initiative that invites everyday people to sit, listen, and share real conversations with neighbors experiencing homelessness. Each bench becomes a place for authentic dialogue—shifting public perception, sparking collaboration, and reflecting how Jesus saw and valued people.
Why This Matters
In partnership with life-transformation ministries and local communities, we’re building shared awareness and compassion—and changing the narrative around homelessness one conversation at a time.
