Who is your neighbor? Operation Nightwatch, a Seattle-based nonprofit, has always worked under the presumption that people living on the streets are our neighbors. Forming relationships with our homeless companions is central to the mission they have been carrying out for the last 60 years.
Author Ben Curtis tells us the story of Operation Nightwatch and the historic journey of their work. The encounters in these pages illustrate how we can see those facing homelessness as ourselves and treat them with love and dignity.
Starting with Rev. Bud Palmberg, the agency's founder, to Nightwatch's work in present day Seattle, the premise has not changed.
An encouraging and often poignant read, this book is for anyone who wants to better understand how we can interact with our neighbors on the streets.
Expect to have your heart moved with compassion for those who are living on the margins of our society.
A portion of the proceeds from each copy of this book goes back directly to help people experiencing homelessness in Seattle.
