In this video, a man shares a brief testimony about how he used to be homeless in Los Angeles, and how a little girl walked up to him one day and told him that Jesus loves him. After that experience, he gave his life to Christ, and cleaned up, leaving town. After he had sworn he'd never return to LA, God brought him back to Skid Row where he opened a church and ministered to a number of old friends and other homeless people. In this journey, this man probably received help from a church or many different churches, other christians had to band together with him and help him plant a church in a bad part of a dangerous city. Together, the pastor and other helpers have done community outreach and handed out food and other necessary supplies to minister to people. It's important for ALL baptists/christians to band together because many roles need to be filled. From the brave little girl who approached a drug addicted, homeless man to the churches and organizations that helped him get on his feet, to the other brothers and sisters who helped him out in his ministry and church planting. He would have never been able to accomplish all of that on his own. Everyone has a part to play in order to bring the kingdom of God to this dark world.
