There is a man in our neighborhood named brother Lewis, The expresses God's love toward people in a small and practical way. He simply waves and smiles at every car/person that passes the corner of Tower Grove and Vista. I experienced how his wave helped to brighten peoples day as one day it truly helped to brighten mines. I came to learn that he had been joyfully standing there smiling and waving rain, sleet, or snow every day for the last 16 years. I decided to shoot a small story about him because he intrigued me and it was truly a blessing to get to know this man of God! The world needs to hear his story. The philosophies he expresses in the interview and sheer Love for God and people is amazing!

Ben is a student with Down Syndrome who lives at the Beech Grove Bruderhof in Nonington, Kent. This summer he grew a giant pumpkin with his friend Mario. You won't believe how big it got!
A young boy with Down Syndrome has grown an enormous pumpkin – winning 1st prize at the Royal Horticultural Show in London.
Ben Ben-Eliezer, 14, lives at a Christian community called the Bruderhof in Kent. Together with his teacher, Mario, he worked all winter turning compost in preparation for growing something spectacular. But just how spectacular took everyone by surprise. By July, the pumpkin already weighed 212 pounds, and in August it was taking 600 gallons of water a week to keep it growing.
Surrounded by his school friends, Ben cut the vine on October 1st in preparation for the show. “We were worried it might be rotten or have a rat underneath” said Ben, but luckily the pumpkin was perfect.
When the big day at the show arrived, the pumpkin weighed in at 1248 pounds and won first prize! As Ben remarked “Even the judges were surprised.”
