"Rather than a campus house, we wanted to use our church," Pinkston said. "This was good for us because we are [so close] to UMKC. We want to get to know these students and share with them our message of hope."
Pinkston shares with students not only his message, but also classes. He is currently a student at the UMKC Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration. He is working on a PhD in Public Administration.
"I think the biggest thing is that there are lots of opportunities in Kansas City, but we are here for the students," Pinkston said. "We want to know how we can get to know them, serve them, and be here for them. We want to encourage them to get to know who we are, but we want to help them get to know who they are and who they want to be."
The Break Away Café is currently open on Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. Students can enter through a bright yellow door on the north side of the building. Pinkston said the café will have more availability and regular hours for meals this fall. For more information, visit www.centralcares.com.
