"Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words" was a quote recited often in our home. I thank my Dad for teaching the truth that the most compelling evangelism was that of a lived faith.
This ministry launched in the spring of 2002 as a handful of teenagers wanting to share some joy and life to our less noticed seniors in the Waco community. However, before a few years had passed, we had grown in size and a little in skill. We were singing weekly in nursing homes and retirement centers around central Texas and loving it. The contagion of faith is never contained within our expectations, however. We began to dream of having a place local to so many of the needs we saw in the east Waco area. We wanted to discover those honest souls, buried beneath so many unfulfilled professions, and display to them a power strong enough to make any loser triumph. We keep finding such brothers. From January 2007 when we all committed to a loan on an old retail place, it's never ceased expanding. To prisons around Texas, in Teen Challenge centers abroad, to youth of troubled homes, and still to the elderly weekly, hope is on the rise! Learning to LIVE the faith we profess by the power of God's Spirit is still the object of all our efforts.
