Agape on the Streets / What?
Agape on the Streets is a three-strand synergy ministry, outward, alongside and inward focused. As we spread unconditional HEALING love in America, we create relationships and they learn what true love is, spilling it out unto others. Through those relationships we learn more about the issues and state of the people we loved on, drawing closer to their friends and others around them, sharing this through video via our website and through speaking engagements within the Church, giving the Church Body timely, true insight so they can be better equipped to support Agape on the Streets and to engage in local ministry themselves. Lastly, our everyday serving builds our own faith and passion and that of our team, especially those who we've reached on the streets as they get involved to reach out to others with the healing love of Jesus. Our outward focus is about an "Earn The Right" approach that God showed me many years ago, no preaching, just doing until they're wanting to hear why. We live in very humble quarters and we rely on Jesus to lead us in every decision. There are no long term plans other than to seek Jesus daily for that days direction, no marketing structure or complex fundraising programs other than to share the experiences God has given us with you and ask for your continued support as we continue to make ourselves available to God, to do this much needed work in America, 24/7, 100%!
Agape on the Streets / Why
I've been in much prayer following my 5000-mile road-trip around America in 2020 in the midst of the COVID situation, then my 3-week stay in and around Los Angeles. Seeing many things that shook me to the core and have added greater urgency to this ministry, I've had a hard time putting into words the vision and drive God has given me for this ministry. As God prepares us to take the Agape Fellowships to the next level, especially Agape on the Streets, a full-time street ministry that we will live 100%, 24/7, Jesus has been revealing much to me and I've been seeking Him more and more learning the exciting things He is preparing to do on the streets of America through Agape on The Streets.
What has God shown me on the streets in America?
Well, let's do something it seems many Christian leaders are afraid to do these days, let's talk politics.
I've always been a pretty middle of the road guy when it comes to politics but lately what I see in America is alarming. I see neighbors hating each other simply because of their political affiliation. Young adults rioting in the streets, burning down buildings, attacking innocent people. I see political debates based on fear and constant attacks of the other candidate rather than good, solid solutions. No, this IS NOT a one sided issue, it's an issue all over America and there's been enough firearms sales that I think it's clear, people are frustrated and very unhappy with the state of things here in America, anger is growing and we will soon see a breaking point! That's exactly what I see brewing on the streets of many of our large cities and we've got to learn how to agree to disagree and love each other again!
Along the way I saw many boarded-up and burned out buildings, mass vandalism, obviously some angry and very frustrated people! Truth is, all across America I saw more frustration and anger than I have ever seen before and it's on both sides politically and.... it's in the Christian Church!
Where has the unconditional love gone that we have been commanded by Jesus to pour out on EVERYONE?
God made clear to me, no politician can fix this, our country needs healing and ONLY the Agape Love of Jesus can heal this deep wound!
God led me to begin the Agape Ministries many years ago as I realized more and more, America has exported much of the love it once had. We've sent missionaries around the world, sometimes at great expense as we've allowed our own backyard to become taken over by many ugly things that have now led to overwhelming fear, frustration and hate in our country!
Look at the whole LGBTQ+ situation going on in America, almost like another religion, young adults looking to belong, looking for love, has the Church in America failed them by not showing true Agape?
Our children have been lied to, misinformed and most of their hope has been stolen. They've been programmed with agendas but not well educated, our country's history twisted and tarnished. Many lack the ability to do real research or to debate an opposing opinion peacefully, even being taught that these things go against a healthy society and that disagreement is actually just hate. What they call science today has become the new political religion and no longer resembles true science where differing viewpoints were considered and debated, realizing that science is theory and must be scrutinized. Now, much of what we call "science" has become just another political control mechanism. Through peer pressure many of this generation find no drive to think outside the box and simply conform to these false, destructive ideologies. I've spent over 20-years working with LGBTQ+, socially deviant and mentally-challenged young adults both in person and online and can write many pages about why so many of our young adults have no hope, no excitement to live and how the youth of America have been programmed to believe that there is no absolute truth or love left for them. But the Word of God has already covered these subjects, now it's time for the Church in America to find passion in standing for God's truth again, in an unconditional-loving way, without fear, right here in our own backyard!
Our own kids are being given over to sex trafficking, I've seen it on a mass scale happening here in our own country, alongside our big fancy Churches as God's people go about life unaware and/or, unwilling to shine God's light and live the true Agape that Jesus commands us to live as His followers, standing for Truth even when it's not popular, even when it hurts!
Are you willing to stand up in God's absolute truth?
To love EVERYONE unconditionally?
Are you ready to partner with us and show these young adults God's true, absolute, unconditional love?
Agape on the Streets / How?
Agape on the Streets truly runs as a Ministry like we see modeled in the New-Testament scriptures. God has given us an organic, personal-relationship focus on doing God's work through loving everyone unconditionally. This way of ministry is simple, pure, biblical and powerful!
Agape is taught by giving love freely to others, not by merely preaching about it to them, because actions are louder than words. As God fills us with Agape to overflowing, it spills out on them, eventually healing them and leading them to the source then spilling out on others. Our focus is to “earn the right” to preach the gospel, serve first by modeling Agape so that they want to hear why, then offer them the loving, healing hope of the True Gospel.
By minimizing our lifestyle, living in very humble situations, we are able to focus all donated resources reaching the youth and others who God leads us to in America, but they also need your help! Please share your love by partnering with us in our efforts by visiting our MightyCause page!
