"As a young child growing up on the streets of Los Angeles, I watched my mother battle a heroin addiction that she would ultimately succumb to. We found ourselves living in Downtown L.A. on Skid Row. I can vividly remember the fear as a child living in these conditions and not having my basic needs met. I often felt forgotten and lost by the world. I remember the judgment shown by others as they would try to avoid us. I remember the cold, wet, hungry nights trying to stay warm in a box.
​
Through all of these struggles I have realized that the Lord was with me all along. Going through this has marked me with a desire to make a difference.​ It has taught me the importance of leading with compassion.​ Our heart is to meet people right where they're at and show the love of Christ."

A message from Co-Founder Sam.
​
How, then, will they call on him in whom they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
​
And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"
​
Romans 10:14-15
