Today, Jesus is everything…There is power behind His name and there is hope for anybody that wants hope and wants change.
Growing up, Alex followed his family into a cycle of gang life and addiction, eventually becoming incarcerated. Though he attended church while incarcerated and had a relationship with God, he struggled without the support of a strong community. After being released, he fell back into old patterns of living.
Everything changed when Alex got involved with Mariners at OC Rescue Mission. For the first time, he was surrounded by a community of people who cared for him and encouraged him in his faith. Alex went through Rooted and started serving consistently at a senior living center, using his gift of encouragement to remind others that they are not alone and that there is always hope in Jesus.
Watch and see how God transformed Alex’s life and gave him a new purpose!
