All senior adults are invited to a lunch & learn featuring special guest speaker Papa Joe Bradford.

Born in a small country town west of Nashville, Papa Joe Bradford grew up in great poverty with his grandmother, mother and sister. 

As the years passed, his life became increasingly turbulent – experiencing the entrapment of poverty, imprisonment for computer hacking and a volital kidney disease. 

The Lord would later use these very struggles, to develop in him a heart for the poor and oppressed.

Papa Joe and his wife, Denise, founded a non-profit organization, Elijah’s Heart  whose mission is to show love and bring aid to underprivileged children and their families. 

In what started as a small gesture of love to neighborhood children, Papa Joe and Denise have developed a ministry providing children with basic necessities, academic tutoring, and emotional support. 

Papa Joe’s life is the inspiration behind the 2012 five-star feature-length film, Unconditional. Papa Joe has also released an autobiography, A Walk of Love, which takes readers on his personal journey towards finding his true purpose in life. 

In addition Papa Joe is an inspired teacher and loves the Word of God.

Join us for what promises to be an inspirational time.
