Divine Interruptions is a heartfelt memoir written by Helen Johnson to fulfill a promise she made to her beloved husband, Freddy, during his final days. That promise was to tell the story of God’s work in their lives together. In midlife, the Johnsons felt a call to leave the world of suburban striving to embrace a simpler life of service—a gospel of neighboring. This is the story of how, after many stops, starts, and Divine nudges, they downsized, moved to Haiti, spent a year in inner city Atlanta, relocated to downtown Raleigh, and founded Building Together Ministries. Inspired by the work of John Perkins in Mississippi and Robert Lupton in Georgia, the Johnsons and BTM sought to partner with the residents of Halifax Court, a low-income housing project, to work toward solutions for the felt needs of the community. For many years, the ministry was a mainstay of urban regeneration and racial reconciliation in Raleigh, and its programs touched countless lives.
