Who We Are ...

kept going back, turning the lunch bags into weekly hot meals at the park. We then began collaborating with our church and other agencies and ministries throughout the Valley, working hand in hand to provide the Word, as well as food, clothing, hygiene, bedding, and other needs throughout the East Valley and South Phoenix.

Through a vision that began in 1993, God has opened doors for us to reach out through Him and help those in need in the East Valley and South Phoenix.

Our mission is to reach homeless and/or needy youth, families, and/or
individuals by providing physical needs, as well as spiritual
growth & inspiration for tomorrow  through His Word and through sharing His message of salvation through Jesus Christ! 

We understand that it is not enough to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people, it has to be demonstrated as well. Jesus said “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me

something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to see me.”

We know that Jesus was not literally speaking of himself, as he goes on to say, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matt. 25:35-40)

Our vision began by our encountering homeless and runaway youth under the Mill Avenue bridge in Tempe. Feeling called to help them, our first  outreach involved packing 25 lunch bags and setting out for Mill Avenue on Christmas Day 1995. We enjoyed it so much that we

If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say,
"I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat."
What good is it to say this, unless you do
something to help. Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!
