“It just broke my heart,” says Tony Gray, speaking of a trip to the river bridge south of Norman where he saw the make-shift shelters of homeless residents. He left with a nagging feeling to do something, a feeling that he couldn’t ignore.
What has grown out of that feeling is a ministry to Norman’s “invisible” population, the men, women and children who are homeless. “I didn’t have the heart to not do anything. It touched me in a way … I will never be the same.”
With $500 in seed money, $250 from his men’s prayer group at Crosspointe Church and $250 from his employer, Westpoint Homes, Gray founded Bridge Norman (www.bridgenorman.org). The word “bridge” refers both to the site and to the hope of spanning the gaps of food, shelter and jobs for the homeless.
