We pray, oh God.  In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray that 
your will will be done. 
((Stephen “Cue” JN-Marie, Pastor, Row Church)) 
For 14 years, we do it every Friday.  Around this time, we 
come out and we feed people, right?  We feed them first the 
spiritual word of God, we call it and then, we give them 
physical food.  We let them know that “Hey, you don’t have 
to come to listen to the word of God in order for us to give 
you food.  If you just want to come when we’re serving, you 
can come when we’re serving.  You don’t have to listen to 
me.  I’m nothing special.  I don’t have nothing great to say to 
you except for what’s in the word of God.”

Someday, Someday. 
((Kayo Anderson, Music Minister, Row Church))   
The hardest hit place in Los Angeles, still praising God, still 
giving him the glory, still coming out on Friday nights.  And 
what I’ve started to notice is happening is that more and 
more people are coming back every week.

There are all kinds of people who come here.  There are 
people who are housed.  There are about 9,000 people who 
are housed right here in Los Angeles.  And what’s in Skid 
Row, what’s called Single Residency Occupancies, right 
there are little small apartments, kind of like the size of a jail 
cell, a small jail cell.

There’s a lot of good people down here, but it’s like the has-
beens, the ex-gang members, the ex-pimps or prostitutes, 
ex-parolees, ex-probation or their family just forgot about 
them.  So, they end up coming down here.  It’s something 
down here and it’s kind of like Paul, when he said in the 
church, during the, excuse me, “you can stay down here or 
you can go to heaven”.  When you come to Skid Row, you 
have to put on your Ephesians 6:18, your whole armor of 
God.  Because even when you don’t want to do something, 
you see somebody doing something, so you end up wanting 
to do it.

About 400,000 people are at risk of facing eviction due to 
COVID-19 and all our elected officials are doing are passing 
eviction moratoriums.  Well, after the moratorium, somebody 
has to pay that rent, right?  And so, after the moratorium, all 
landlords are going to do is proceed with evictions, right, with 
the eviction process.  And so, we’re asking them to cancel 
rent.

It’s small movements like this that will shift the 
paradigm.  We can’t focus on the hate.  We can’t focus on 
what’s going on in Washington D.C.  We need to focus right 
here at home, individually with each person you meet and 
see.
