A pastor from Emerald City Bible Church, Drake took on this invitation to see neighborhood differently. It started when he read in the the news that his church’s zip code was the most obese in Washington state. Shocked, Drake devised a neighborhood assessment, taking a second look at his community. He uncovered the contributing factors to this epidemic: a disproportionate amount of fast food was found in the neighborhood, but no health club within 10 miles. And the cost of even that club was prohibitive for his assembly.
