Home to nearly four million people, Los Angeles receives a perpetual inflow of dreamers, go-getters, and hustlers prepared to chase their dreams, filled with unabashed optimism. Trying to stand out in this crowd of optimism and opportunity leads residents to bake in a sun-soaked culture of superficiality and self-absorption.
Experts estimate that there are at least 87,000 homeless people in Los Angeles alone. Hundreds of thousands more are living in poverty and over a million are “food insecure,” often not knowing where the next meal will come from.
Partner with the renowned Dream Center to support their ongoing urban ministry work in some of the darkest areas of Los Angeles.
Door-to-door ministry through the Adopt-A-Block program in LA takes more than just sharing the words of the Gospel. Here, you will become Jesus as you serve families with your actions, helping them and finding your own heart growing deeper in your own understanding of how Jesus served and how he loves.
Southern California provides a variety of opportunities to enjoy the sunshine, too. In your free time, you might visit Santa Monica Pier or spend time surfing or relaxing on the beach.
