Chris interviews Zack Wilson about his experience helping start LINK Kalamazoo. On a few prayer walks during the pandemic, Zack started asking, "Why couldn't something great happen here?" An initial idea for networking events evolved into a group that's helping make Kalamazoo a more vibrant place, from business partnerships to influencing the city's ten-year master plan.

LINK Kalamazoo is helping answer the questions young professionals are asking:

  • Where is my future?

  • Where are my people?

  • How can I make an impact in the community?

Zack shares, "Christians should be the most passionate people on earth about transforming their communities, because we believe people are inherently valuable and created by God, and we have purpose and meaning when we get to participate in God's redemptive plan."

Zack Wilson works in IT for the healthcare industry and lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Find him on LinkedIn.
