Review for The Jonah Project, El Segundo, CA, USA
I have been to Downtown LA, specifically Skid Row/Herion Alley many times during both the day and the night. When I first started visiting those areas of downtown with the Dream Center, there were only the missions to help the people living on the streets. Then came the Jonah Project like a bright light was just turned on in a dark room. The Jonah Project gives hope to thousands of people each week who come and stop by. It offers others a safe refuge, an acknowledging and uplifting atmosphere, and loving people. People can play piano, just hang out on couches, talk and eat, do whatever they want to do. Jonah Project is a great place for people to come who are wanting more than drugs, alcohol, and sex. They are searching for meaning and purpose. And the Jonah Project offers just that - a way to connect with people who can help them. I strongly suggest everyone check out the Jonah Project - you are sure to leave inspire and in awe.
