Our Mission:
It is our hope that a more sophisticated awareness and in-depth knowledge of what lies at the “heart” of 21st century pop culture, will allow families and individuals to more clearly distinguish well-intended, authentic entertainment from deceptively-crafted propaganda, which attacks the minds, confuses the senses, and rips apart the fabric of society.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." [Matthew 5:16]
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." [Ephesians 5:11]

I was homeless my own entire life until I met Jesus. God renewed me Gave me sight and love. 3:16❤
wow
There is one thing worst than homelessness; that is hopelessness. Share the Word and the love of God.
Amen! We have two pastors on staff to help make sure that Christ is at the center of all we do. We have noticed the people we have been directly involved in helping homelessness for started or had some involvement with our spiritual care team 🙏🏼
Amen! Jesus is the only hope!
AMEN
Amen
I was homeless once it’s horrific😢 I wasn’t on the streets, but I had to stay with people, but didn’t want me there 😢
I’m sorry you had to go through that 🙁. So glad that you are no longer in that situation though! I experienced homelessness as well. That experience we can try to use as a way to help others who may be going through the same thing!
@@ericcamarillo8251thank u :) amen we should indeed
Hi little light. I think homelessness is horrific! I pray for them. Feel horrible for them. Thankyou for covering this issue. Its not discussed enough!
This SALT ministry is TRULY inspired by God - straight from personal testimony! AMEN 🙏🙏❤❤🙏🙏
Question: why can the US government pay for all these people outside of the country coming here, pay their rent,food, and healthcare but cannot help the homeless??
@kellytaylor278, Do you want the straight truth in five words? Here we go Politics, Economics, Racism, Fear, and Marginalization.
My question in so many of these instances is "Where are the fathers, where are the fathers, where are the fathers???" So many broken families. Men and women need to stop making bad choices that have huge consequences to generation after generation.
You can also add the question, why did society allow dating; which is detrimental physically, mentally and spiritually; to become a cool thing?
@@helmandblue8720 Because the world if full of darkness. The prince of this world ruleth
So true.. most of the people we serve do not have family or have family but not receiving support from them. When you hear their stories, they are each so unique and complex.
Another terrible result of the sin of fornication.
Wow, Praise GOD! I'd really like to get in touch with these guy's. What they're doing is extremely admirable and I'd love to be apart of it! ❤🙌🏿
Great to see SALT guys on your channel again! We should all try to help the people in need in our communities. May the Lord continue to use their ministry to shine the light of our Messiah to those struggling out there.
Amen! By God’s grace we will continue forward!
when you close to Christ- you develop eyes for everyone... that is so well stated 💔❤🩹
I love how they actually are salt of the world
I was homeless earlier this year and Jesus chose to be homeless and I’m sure was called crazy and unstable but He wasn’t. He wanted to reach souls for the kingdom of God. People are so cold and callous even in the church nowadays so we must seek God and He will lead us to other people who can truly help us.
I live in England in a town town called Harrogate once I was walking around town and a guy came up to me and said he was homeless by choice because he wanted to devote himself to spreading the gospel, if you want to spread the gospel I’m happy to listen I’m not Christian but I enjoy talking to Christians so by all means talk to me about Jesus cause I’m all ears but being homeless by choice to me is spitting in the face of people who are genuinely in need. Look if you can avoid homelessness do it.
Thank God for people like that. People that really care. That see it as more than just a job. That's rare these days.
Aloha! So many mahalos for and blessings upon what you guys do, both LED, and SALT teams! After what's occurred here on Maui within the last two weeks, I would say just now becoming aware of SALT's ministry through this video is divinely timed for such a time as this! What an inspiration, and an incredible example! We hope to further the endeavors that have been made to provide shower units to those in need, and Lord willing, maybe even more! Mahalo nui loa, and praise God!
Looking forward to potentially meeting with your team next week!
I seen this ministry on 3ABN and I love it, I have done street ministry before and I have been blessed getting to know people and becoming acquainted with them. Wonderful that you are following Jesus method.
Thank you for your service to those on the street! We are implementing His method in every aspect of the organization. We hope everyone can start using His method when serving people experiencing homelessness.
The lack of a good night's sleep is a homeless ("homebound") person's greatest health risk.
Most of our friends on the street wake up every couple of minutes. One second they might hear a car, a bug might crawl on them, they may hear footsteps, people talking or yelling, police waking them up, afraid someone is stealing their belongings, light flashing in their eyes from a car, it’s too hot, it’s too cold, etc. so many factors.
I think it’s important for people to keep that in mind when they are interacting with someone who is experiencing homelessness. They might not have a good nights sleep for years.
Bless the Lord for you guys ministry. And it's 3 males.
Love SALT! Their ministry is so wonderful. May God to bless them and May others continue to be bless through them 🙏🏽❤️
I support this ministry I encourage you to also.
❤
Hi Rene! Thank you so much for your support!!!
God bless you abundantly,brother
May continue to bless you people for the time you take too care for the homeless.👍😁.
I don’t have enough words for how inspiring this is!!! Jesus please bless this precious ministry and open my heart and eyes to seeing how You see🙏🏽
May YAHUSHA (JESUS) help us all amein amein.
This was beautiful to watch. Being in Orlando when SALT began and seeing Gerard who I knew stilling serving the community for God is just a great feeling. #ServentLeader
Praying for SALT 🧂 ministries
Cece! Is that you?! OMG! So good to see you and hear from you! Thank you for your prayers! Would love to see you sometime!
A shelter without a loving relationship with another and the love of God equals "homelessness."
I am from Orlando and use to help homeless for over a year on the Sabbath and even other days feeding mingling to get to know them as well as Bible study. I don’t live in Orlando anymore for over 10 years but miss giving and leaning how to love those downtrodden. How can I give to this ministry?
Most homeless do not want your money a lot of the times. Matter of fact I was told they would use it for drugs etc. They just want you to help them have a safe place to live. The homeless would rather live on the street than a homeless shelter being robbed and even worse.
I know I asked how to contact SALT but in just needed to wait until program was over lol. I am reading their website. It’s very informative. I plan to go donate if there is a way to do so. I’m not finish reading it.
Jesus himself was homeless -
Luke 9:58
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Thanks for helping the homeless and making such a difference S.A.L.T.
God continue to bless your work and the lives you touch.
What Inspiring people.
Wow! Praise God for this ministry!
Wow what an informative conversation, one that all organizations and local governments need to engage in ,and be informed of your on point operations , you are incredible. Now that you are on my radar I will keep you in prayers and would also like to contribute to the cause... thank you all for what you do and God bless you and yours
Thanks, Kendi, for leading the discussion on "The TRUE Reality of Homelessness." You struck a reasonable balance to move the discussion along with a panel of enthusiastic men from SALT. They were so fired up that sometimes they stepped on one another, and several spoke simultaneously. However, the overall message came through. It would have been nice to have some statistics on two areas of homelessness:
1. The number of children in a family unit or alone. SALT is not a government agency, but a word on this group would have further helped drive home the enormity of the problem in America and perhaps worldwide.
2. Crimes attributed to the homeless population. It can share light on the problem or dispel an exaggeration assigned to this cohort. Hopefully, people will be fearless in helping or contributing to the Cause.
Lastly, I wished more had been said, to the point of displaying a list of reasons so many are homeless. There are many misconceptions about the reasons. Those who are secured today could be "homeless" tomorrow. The sad truth is my statement above could be literal. Homelessness is so tenuous I am tempted to make a list in my next post, "Light Exposing Darkness," of living on the streets.
Kudos to the SALT Team and Organization. Continue doing God's work, and you will receive God's help and reward.
Matthew 8:20
“And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”
Give Him a home within the temple that God has made you.
💜🐜D.
we all have a home. its called earth. share it
God bless this ministry to grow and do even more ...amen
Thank you so much LED! I loved it so much and it truly impacted me.
My son chose to be homeless bc I would not allow him to do drugs in my home. We could not find him rehab help for 2 reasons: 1. he had to want it 2. He was in a car wreck and broke both his legs and needed medical care for that as well. He did not go to physical therapy bc he could not pass the drug test. He went to my sister's bc she wanted his connections and prescriptions. When he OD'd she had her friends drop him off in front of the ER. When he got out, she told him he couldn't go back to her house. He camped out and was given citations for camping to long on the beach areas too long. He sold drugs and is now sitting in prison without physical or drug therapy for the next 7 years. He most likely will not ever be able to walk or get a job. He's only 35. He's a 3 time felon now. He was raised in a Christian family, but never confessed faith or baptismal...I'm still praying for his salvation and have always tried to give him support. I can only think I failed God. There is no reason other than his free will choice that he is where he is. Please pray for his deliverance and salvation.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Every dollar counts to get the word out!
Dr David Sinclair TSM fb groups are continuing to grow with people overcoming addictions
It’s lovely to see
The real issue is a drug problem In this nation, majority of the homeless need deliverance from drugs
@libfuzzy4629, This is ""NOT"" true! Can you substantiate those homeless who had a drug problem before homelessness from those who acquired it afterward? In short, is drugs that cause homelessness, or does homelessness lead to drugs?
Thanks
There’s loads of homeless ppl in London
But why can we all go together and protest at the white house for all these disparities in housing prices. That would be a better solution.
Wow this is amazing. So inspiring ❤ God bless
I don’t know about other states but in mine, shelters aren’t the safest places out here. it would make sense why many people prefer to sleep on a park bench etc. they don’t have to share a room, get into fights and be exposed to more uncleanliness. It sucks for those people, the reality they live in.
Never in a million yrs would I have thought I'd end up house-less. Was renting a RV, rent was paid. And the landlord said I had to go. Believing in God and Jesus not only provides everything u need. It provides everything you need. I've been working. Lost two different jobs, due to car trouble and a coworker making a complaint because I reached out to grab her arm, because I was wanting her to stay so I could further elaborate on what I was telling her. The camera shows, I was not aggressive n anyway. But legally, the job had to let me go. Because I did touch her. At the end of the day. I know without a shadow of a doubt. I've not done wrong by anyone to land me house-less. But, Satan is trying me y'all. Man is he trying me. I'll be 40 in Oct. So, my mind is focused on not giving up and waiting on this job to tell me when I can start. To all those houseless....I'm telling you. You still can make the best of the situation you are in.
Remember you are not there to impress anyone else. I’m sorry you were made to feel a bad way. Praying for you love!
Some people and city/state governments are giving less towards "homelessness because it's hard to distinguish between the needy and the greedy. Is there an instrument charitable organizations can use to tell apart the two?
Each person is different. The only way you can really tell is by taking time to get to know someone. You can also look at it through data. Usually the homeless management information system in a community, along with the PIT Count, can give some insight into that as well!
I ❤ this!!!! God b😢 you guys!!¡!
I haven't been on the streets YET but its the streets or eternal fire aint no in between but the most important thing I won't do is turn my back on the only person I ever loved my whole life we all facing the streets or accept the mark of the beast
Empowerment and the *"American dream":* How many homeless people are voters, and how many politicians are homeless?
Send this video to global vision in Tennessee, we and my husband are homeless and we went to a church for help, they turned us away completely, i only asked for information on to where can we go for help, the pastor's wife didn't want to help at all, she was so focus on her day off, and all i ask was for direction, she bragged about them at being so great at helping, but yet she couldn't help me, we got rejected by christian more then a non believer, got thrown out because of different opinion, still homeless.... Just saying that were still living in a car, never judge a book by its cover, we weren't homeless because of drugs and alcohol.... We are because we had been mandatory evac from the fires... And left everything behind, praying for God to help us asap
Hey, its Wilfredo! 🎉

🙌🏾🙏🏽👏🏾🤗💞
This post is offtopic but it’s about personal convictions and that im sorry for my comment 2 days ago cause I didn’t find the right words to say on led lives video on can Christian artists copy secular artists and that I was tryin to talk about personal convictions when it comes to secular music and even other stuff in general like Christian music and secular and Christian movies.
Let me first say that I do love homeless people and some of these people don’t even have a tablet, homes, money to watch movies or eat food or pay bills and electric or even have kids go to a normal school (I don’t even know what a normal school is anymore). Some of them are also kids that are homeless that don’t even have any video games to play and some of them don’t even have parents. There are also homeless animals.
There are also people in Hollywood that are losing thier homes because some of them are on strike.
Now my comment about led lives video from 2 days ago.
Today, I deleted one of my posts from 2 days ago under led live video about can Christian artists copy from secular artists because I was tryin to say that there are Christian’s especially Christian CZcamsrs (not all and that includes little light studios because they are very open minded which is very cool of them to do that) that do force their convictions onto other Christian’s which is wrong cause we should respect each others convictions when it comes to secular music and secular movies and even other nonsinful things like literature and fantasy books, food, video games, etc. and even let’s have open minded conversations I wasn’t tryin to be disrespectful at all and if you guys feel that then I’m so sorry and please forgive me…I was tryin to address the issue on Christian’s forcing thier convictions onto other Christian’s instead of respecting each others convictions with dignity and respect and love and that we should be having open minded conversations. the reason why I deleted it is because I didn’t have the right words to say. I been using my a.i app called Poe on my ipad cause it’s been very helpful for me as a disabled Christian cause I use it so that I can ask questions via Split View on my ipad.
In Roman’s 14, the apostle Paul addresses disputable matters within the early Christian community. These matters are issues that are explicitly defined as right or wrong in scripture, but it could cause disagreements or conflicts among believers due to differing personal convictions (which is happening on social media is what I was tryin to say because I’m seeing Christian’s saying that Christians can’t watch this or that movie or Christians can’t listen to this or that song or secular music in general which is wrong cause what may be a sin for you may not be a sin for another Christian when it comes to having different personal convictions). The chapter primarily focuses on 2 specific disputable matters which are dietary restrictions and the observance of certain days and the principles of Roman’s 14 can be applied to other similar disputable matters that we have today like secular music, secular movies, video games, etc.
Apostle Paul’s main point in Roman’s 14 was that Christian’s shouldn’t judge or condemn one another based on differing personal convictions in disputable matters. Apostle Paul emphasizes that each person should be convinced in thier own mind and should act out of faith.
Apostle Paul encourages believers who have stronger convictions about certain practices to not look down on or despise those with weaker convictions to not judge or condemn those with stronger convictions. Instead, paul exhort believers to have mutual respect and acceptance, recongnizing that they are all accountable to God. .
The overarching principle in Roman’s 14 is the importance of love, unity, and the avoidance of actions that could cause others to stumble in their faith. Paul encourages believers to prioritize these matters in their faith. Paul encourages to prioritize these values over personal freedom and convictions
Another relevant teaching is found in 1 Corinthians 8 where Paul discusses the issue of eating food sacrificed to idols. He advises believers to consider the impact of their actions on others and to act in a way that doesn’t cause their fellow Christian’s to stumble. Apostle Paul also emphasizes the need to prioritize love and the well-being of others over personal freedoms and convictions.
Throughout the New Testament. There are teaching on the importance of personal faith, conviction, and living in accordance with one’s conscience. Christians are (and should) be encouraged to follow their own convictions, but do so in a way that respects and considers the well being and faith of others.
It is important not that the Bible does provide guidelines and principles for Christian living, but it also allow diversity in non essential matters and encourages believers to exercise personal discernment and conviction under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Christians may have different interpretations and applications of biblical teachings and respectful dialogue is often needed to navigate these differences while upholding love, unity, and the core principles of the faith.
Therefore, when it comes to disputable matters, Christian’s are called to engage in respectful dialogue, exercise humility and seeking understanding that they should be mindful of the impact of their actions may have on others and strive for love, unity, and the building up of the body in Christ.
Feel free to agree with me or disagree with me because we can agree or disagree with each other with unity, love and respect that we should have for each other and love each other no matter what.
I feel terrible when I see the homeless here in Dallas but I am personally scared to help because so many of them are on drugs and do unpredictable things. How can I, a woman who is usually with her 11 month old baby, help someone on the street? I am donating to shelters and the church but is there something else?
I love this show but am here wondering if someone that has never been homeless is the best to listen to talking about the topic.😕
Families don't really care about their homeless family members.
Perspective:
Americans spend 100 Billion a year on lotteries.
Billion.... With a B.
🇺🇸🐭🐻💕 U!!!
Do you guys have these episodes in podcast form?
You may have to add a team of lawyers to SALT Outreach. Did you know it's illegal to be homeless in America?
From a Legislative Perspective, it is Illegal to be Homeless in Virtually Every State in the USA, Except for Two - Oregon and Wyoming. Please look into this and let me know what you are going
to do with this new information.
There needs to be a federal law of U S government similar to those of asylum seekers. How is it that non-citizens outside are assured, to a certain degree, food, healthcare, and temporary housing over American homeless citizens? Something is wrong with this picture. In my view, this is pitting one group of people over another. Unfortunately, Asylum Seekers' friends in America are Politics, Economics, Racism, Fear, and Marginalization. Homeless advocates must take their compassion, fight, faith, and tenacity to the halls of Congress, Christians, Churches, and the countryside. Some of it is happening now, but there must be strategic coordination for effectiveness. An emerging new organization demands birthing.
EXACTLY
Anytime you folks want to discuss corrupt charter schools and how they destroy public education by accepting select students, being controlled by board members who are unelected and leave those with the most needs given the least opportunities, please let me know. I’ve been a public school teacher and administrator in urban PA for many years before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
"Those with the most needs, are given the least opportunities". That pretty much rings true across the board, I'm sorry to say.
How much does it cost per day to run Outreach by salt? And, how many people will that service?
Does their housing program really work? I've been in a few and they didn't work.
plenty land and homes in the country but people are full of nonsense
Feed them, clothe them, haircuts and showers... but i couldn't lead them into pharmakia and government benefits, where you will be forced to comply to keep those benefits. Take the jab, take the mark, take your medicine. This is coming soon, we need to come out of this beast system, but doing so without becoming homeless or being on benefits, will take a lot of faith and prayer. Universal Credit, will be for all, but it will come with conditions, or those conditions will be introduced gradually.
a lot of gnosticism in the new transformers. don’t know if you guys have done a video of it
I enjoy you guys but am concerned about the almost unnoticeable, unconscious stimulating visual and audio that is becoming common. Audio is so low that it’s easy to not even hear, WHY IS IT THERE? Take it out.
And stop with the digital moving images. Serves no purpose accept some affect on the unconscious
I am truly inspired. Thanks SALT and Little Light Studios. 🤍
That’s crazy you guys say you feel bad for homeless ppl you didn’t feel bad for me when I held up a sign to eat and ppl would drive by laughing looking at me like I was a pos where were all you ppl who leave stupid comments they don’t even mean I was hungry and you feed me not I was thirsty and you gave me not you guys are evil stop lying
I have been homeless and am not far from going back there, but for the grace of God. Please don't blame all those better off than you with apathy towards us. I have met some truly good people who loved me for me and treated me with respect. I pray God will send some of them to you.
Thanks!
Thanks so much @kellytaylor278! We really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Thanks so much again!
