Discussion Topic: What is Homelessness?

Jeremiah Damir Bašurić is a product of two extremes: his Filipino mother instilled in him a friendly gentleness while his Croatian father implanted in him a sometimes hidden passion and enthusiasm. He is a Community Engagement Coordinator at The Mustard Seed Street Ministry in Edmonton where he has been for two years.  When he is not scratching his head contemplating mysteries brought forth from work and his education at King’s, you can find Jeremiah sipping tea with his fiancée or singing worship songs very loudly.
