Founded in 2013 in Los Angeles, by Daniel Neiditch, Prodigal Sons Inc. aims to see gospel transformation in the lives of gang members through interpersonal relationships in the context of local churches. We envision local churches reaching gang neighbors, and former gang members playing integral roles in God's plan for the Church. Prodigal Sons holds to the statement of faith as listed by our founding church, Cornerstone West Los Angeles. These foundational beliefs about the Bible, God, men and women, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and what God is doing in the world, drive the ministry. Prodigal Sons, Inc. comes alongside churches with training resources and personalized coaching to support their outreach to gang neighbors in the communities God has called them to. Prodigal Sons Inc. is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, operating under the oversight and accountability of a Christian board of directors.
Danny Neiditch | Founder/ CEO
Daniel "Danny" Neiditch founded Prodigal Sons in 2013 to help churches reach out to gang neighbors and to see bridges built between street culture and the church. Growing up, Danny was adjacent to the gang lifestyle, and, after becoming a Christian, during college, began to get involved with others who were ministering to gang members. He founded Prodigal Sons at the encouragement of some of the pastors of Cornerstone West LA. His heart is to see churches in gang neighborhoods proactively caring about all of their neighbors, and to see gang neighbors saved and playing key roles in God's work in the church and in the world.
Danny is a third generation Angeleno, and a life long Lakers, Dodgers, and avid street tacos fan. He is a non-vocational pastor/elder at Shalom Bible Church in Jefferson Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles.
