      <image:title>About - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bill Festa was born and raised in South Philadelphia, not far from Christ Church South Philly, and has been a Realtor for forty-five years. He has had occasional experiences working with homeless and recovery ministries at our prior church but became far more involved when he started attending CCSP.  In 2022, he started volunteering with the Chosen 300 ministry and has been teaching Wednesday night Bible Study at the Hope House, which eventually led to him being asked to serve on the Transformation To Recovery Board of Directors. He has been experiencing the hand of God working in people’s lives…and it has been an amazing experience for him.</image:caption>
