In 1988, Allen and Susan Allen Tibbles, along with Mark Gornik, dreamt of addressing the needs of Sandtown-Winchester. Following the Christian Community Development model of John Perkins, they relocated to the community and partnered with local leaders to create Sandtown-Habitat, New Song Learning Center, New Song Family Health Center, Eden Jobs, and New Song Worship and Arts. In the past 31 years, they've provided housing, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for many in the 72-square-block Sandtown community, leaving a positive impact on countless lives.
