Chene Street in Detroit continues to be lined with empty retail stores. Booth Chapel Church in Christ was founded over 30 years ago and continues to minister. On a hot July day Bishop Willis Booth ll stood on a letter touching up the building signage.
The Bishop's church remains a light of religous hope in a barren landscape. In addition to a dedication to his ministry, Bishop Booth is a full time Detroit Police Chaplain. In this role he ministers to police officers and crime victims on the east side of Detroit.
"Of course it is hard work running a church and working full time, but it is God's calling" the Bishop said on the ladder while handing me his business card. He cares about people and hopes for a better future.
