Former MKs explore compassion down ‘The Good Road’ on PBS

A new television program highlighting stories of people doing good all over the world will feature an Alabama ministry in an upcoming episode.

The May 16 episode of “The Good Road” — which premiered April 6 on 350 PBS stations, including Alabama Public Television — features work being done in Alabama Village, one of the most dangerous and impoverished neighborhoods in Prichard. The ministry, called Light of the Village, was started in 2002 when the founders, John and Dolores Eads, felt led to establish a full-time ministry after being involved in prison ministry. The goal was to share Christ’s love, get to know the community and prevent people from ending up in prison.

The May 16 installment of “The Good Road” is part of a collection of episodes shot in various places around the world by two former Baptist missionary kids, Earl Bridges and Craig Martin.

The families served in Thailand; the Martins were with the International Mission Board.
