In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Jim Davey, a former pastor of 37 years who now serves as the Campus Pastor and Chaplain for Gospel Inc. Jim shares his heart for the Lakeland community and discusses the vital work being done at Gospel Village, a unique residential community dedicated to providing permanent housing and holistic support for the chronically homeless.
Jim details the growth of Gospel Village, which is currently expanding its footprint on a three-and-a-half-acre campus. With 48 new units under construction and plans for even more, the organization is creating a stable environment where single adults can find not just a roof over their heads, but a true sense of belonging and “wraparound” services to help them get healthy and secure.
Whether you’re looking for a way to give back to your city or simply want to hear an inspiring story of faith and service, Jim’s insights offer a powerful look at how compassion is transforming lives in Lakeland. 128
