info_outlineChicago Fellowship Board member and Together Chicago Co Founder Dave Dillon interviews three key leaders from Together Chicago and hearing their life stories. Lavonas Troupe, Charles King and Laprentiss Flowers all have past histories in different “tribes” in Chicago and were on very opposing sides of various conflicts on the streets of Chicago. By God’s grace they amazingly all now work collaboratively at Together Chicago to help end the violence on our streets. God has been at work in each of them and we were blessed by their stories and by hearing about the progress that has been made in bringing down the level of violence and by learning more about what the real issues are now on our streets.
