Grad’s passion for racial reconciliation is changing lives in Philadelphia
If there’s ever the temptation to get discouraged and give in – to let all the brokenness and heartbreak around him derail the work at hand – Jael K.D.L.V. Chambers doesn’t let on. He can’t afford to. The need is too great, the stakes too high.
As associate regional director for Young Life in Philadelphia, Chambers sees it all: the fatherless homes, the desperation of “the hood,” the palpable racial and political tension in the city. And yet, he remains unfazed. He’s witnessed too many instances of restoration and reconciliation to lose hope now.

The most impactful thing I learned at 麻豆传媒 Fox was the importance of open-mindedness. In many of my theology classes, as well as in the honors program, I was constantly pushed to humbly investigate new ideas.
