Bethesda Lutheran Communities, Boy Family

My friend and colleague from our days together at the ELCA Lutheran Center, Sue Edison-Swift, asked me to help her new employer, Bethesda Lutheran Communities, tell stories about their work. The mission of Bethesda Lutheran Communities is to enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through services that share the good news of Jesus Christ.

This is the story of Leigh Boy and his parents. Leigh lives in a Bethesda group home near Houston, Texas. His parents, now older adults, talk about the importance of knowing that their son, Leigh, is well cared for now, and will continue to be well cared for after they can no longer take care of him themselves.

Jan Nowak, a producer and communicator with Bethesda, coordinated the production and conducted the interviews.
