Mission
We develop and coach local bridge people to start relationships with gang neighbors and to rally and equip their churches for ongoing engagement.
Bridge people focus on outreach to the gang and on mobilizing the church for gospel engagement with gang neighbors over the long haul. We envision bridge people engaging at the following levels:
- Missionaries
Reach local gang members and equip their church for long-term engagement. They own Prodigal Sons' broader vision and as a result, regularly partner with other Prodigal Sons missionaries to support broad gang and church engagement, along with the overall mission. - Local Champions
Volunteers who have the same heart for the gang and the church as the missionary, but are exclusively focused on their local contexts. - Point People
Church members with a willingness to engage with neighbors as a representative of the church. They desire to help the church engage, and they advocate in the church for gospel advancement to the gang neighbors.
2022 Goal
5 Point people committed to gospel engagement with the local gang and to advocating within their church for long term impact.
5 Year Goal
5 Prodigal Sons Missionaries, in addition to Danny, working in their contexts to reach their local gang and equip their churches, and collaborating together to develop more bridge people.
