“Because everyone’s journey matters’ is the foundation on which we build every relationship. If the community member and I can both agree on that principle, there’s no telling how far we can go together! Without it, a relationship is not possible.” – Shira Zimmerman, Director of Advocates at The Factory Ministries Shira is the Director of Advocates at The Factory Ministries.
