“We are created by God to do Good things. Things that He already prepared for us to do.”
What We’ve Been Doing
We’ve been in a quasi-stealth mode, working hard to establish a firm foundation of principles, operations and culture for the organization to be forever effective in a fast changing social, economic and political world; building the organization to last, from the inside-out.
We didnt Wait
Early on the team was convinced that the injustice, the opportunity and the potential were too great and too important to wait for every organizational formality to be fulfilled before addressing things that Hurt Our Heart.
Just six months after the team’s very first meeting and before the organization had everything else “figured out”; we organized and conducted our first public and organized demonstration of Doing Justice. Impacted, validated and empowered, the team committed to organizing to Do Justice monthly while we built the organization’s insides. We’ve kept that commitment and are developing meaningful relationships with the people we were led to first. These relationships are impacting the team and the people and are setting the stage for a new state of affairs in lives and environments.

In the Beginning
The team consists of people who work full time, are actively involved in their local church, are managing families, going to school and managing “life” with all of its surprises and demands. Even so, their commitment to Do Justice has been strong and the resultant efforts in the community have not gone unnoticed.
Our beginnings of organizing to Do Justice were aimed at impacting the lives of people affected by homelessness and various addictions in San Diego. Within our first 7 months, we treated the symptoms of dozens of people. In addition to the dozens and perhaps more remarkably, we were immediately led to several, specific people. In those first 7 months we formed special relationships with these individuals that continue on today and form the basis for lasting and exponential Impact in their and our lives.
