Noel Musicha (who also goes by Noxy) and Jeremiah Lester have been working with neighbors in Linda Vista, California, for the past six years to start a church called Ebenezer where the goal is to be a people's cathedral: a church of the community, by the community, and for the community. In part one of our conversation, we explore the call to make a commitment; and how a chance encounter in Noel’s homeland of Malawi planted the seeds for a friendship and partnership with others thousands of miles away.
