● OUR MISSION

No sheep without a shepherd​​

Our Mission

Imagine for a second that every person in NYC is connected to a church family that prays and cares for them. 

​

In recent years suicide has increased by over 70% in the USA. Loneliness is one of the primary reasons. That is heartbreaking. Most of those beautiful souls believed no one cared whether they lived or died. We can end the epidemic of loneliness by adopting our neighborhoods.

​

We are actively mobilizing 2000 churches to adopt 1-2000 homes surrounding them; so that there would be "no sheep without a shepherd, in our city of 10 million and "the Lamb for sinner's slain might receive the reward for His suffering."
