Writing from the Christ House Community
Dr. Donna Chacko, who lived in the Kairos community and worked at Christ House from 2003-2010, wrote a recent blog post on Hope, which can be read below:
“I had the privilege of living in community with Donna—working and worshipping with her—and saw how her love and compassion fostered healing. In this extraordinary memoir, Donna describes the pain, sorrow, loss, and hope she experienced as she tried to understand who she is, to whom she belongs, and where she is going. Her words are a witness to all of us, as she encourages us to make our own journey, with God at our side, to new happiness, peace, and life.” 

-Dr. Janelle Goetcheus on Donna's latest book, Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey
