God has led me to exactly where I’m at and the path I chose was his. As the Outreach Coordinator for Street Life Ministries, it is my responsibility to bring services to our un-housed. With a loving and compassionate approach, Danny takes to the streets. Danny was an un-housed Veteran with substance abuse issues and PTSD. My bottom was pushing a shopping cart with no shoes on and strung out. Thanks to God and a twelve-step program I have been clean and sober since August 30th, 2019.

Jeff and his family moved to the bay area 5 years ago after spending 25 years in Asia.  When he arrived, he was taken aback at the amount of homelessness that he saw and experienced in the streets surrounding his workplace and the city where he lived.  As a follower of Jesus and the Good Samaritan story as his core belief, he reached out to Street Life Ministries where his daughter and he became servers on the food line.  Having worked in the F&B side of hospitality his whole life, he asked if he could join the team in the kitchen to help and improve the offerings being served.  He hopes the food he prepares can bring more people to our gatherings, not only to be fed physically but spiritually.  Jeff has a Doctorate in Hotel and Tourism Management, and his wife is the Director of Family Ministry at Peninsula Covenant Church.

Jesus drew me to him when I was in my twenties. I grew in a loving family. However, I didn’t have much exposure to the church. For me it was a radical change because I was real good at doing my own thing and whatever I wanted to do. When I put my faith in Jesus, I was so happy that I was forgiven that I couldn’t help but want to live for Him.

I started volunteering in Sunday school and then in the Youth Ministry and was having a lot of fun growing and helping other students grow. Then one day as I was working in sales for a software company, I woke up and realized that I want to work with youth full time and wanted to be a pastor. It was an awesome feeling knowing that God had a plan and calling for my life. God was preparing me along the way and eventually I was hired as a Youth Pastor and I worked with youth for 20 years. Currently I am the Missions Pastor at Trinity Church of Sunnyvale overseeing the Gateway Neighborhood Center and all local and global missions. We partner with different organizations to serve the City of Sunnyvale including the homeless.
