When Anthony Ho stepped into the North End of Winnipeg — one of the poorest postal codes in Canada — he didn’t just see boarded-up homes and broken systems. He saw potential.

As Director of Operations at Inner City Youth Alive and Step Up Construction, Anthony helps men find purpose through meaningful work, bringing a movement of transformation — equipping fathers, husbands, and leaders to rebuild their lives and their community.

Through construction projects and daily discipleship, Step Up Construction provides more than job skills — it offers belonging, accountability, and hope. The team’s upside-down model of leadership, where the newest crew member is served first, is redefining what Kingdom business can look like in action.

In this episode, Anthony shares his journey, the power of work to transform lives, and why he believes God is using work to restore the North End of Winnipeg.
