Street Pastor with a Past

More at http://umc.org/videos/ The Rev. Keith Kaufold is a pastor in a tough Pa. neighborhood where drug dealers and school dropouts abound. Kaufold grew up nearby and can speak firsthand about addiction-- and redemption. "My addiction escalated where I found myself a heroin addict in my late teens, early 20's. And, I heard a pastor say 'God will turn your misery into your ministry.' Kaufold created Eighth Avenue Place, an urban ministry in Homestead, Pennsylvania about a half-mile outside the city limits of Pittsburgh.

I am so touched by your faith and transformation through the healing and loving hand of Jesus. Your Mom and Dad (my former classmates from Munhall H.S.) must be so proud of you. You are an inspiration and a blessing to so many. God bless you and your ministry.
