Josh Wilson had a vision to make an impact on deeply rooted systemic poverty in his community. In learning the importance of listening over telling and how to act with more than just good intentions, Josh has connected families with resources as prevention methods for violent outcomes for more than 16 years.

Today, Josh shares how his non-profit Mission: St. Louis has become a lighthouse for the community, and how they've empowered individuals for social and economic growth through relationship and opportunity, breaking the cycle of poverty.

My friends, this conversation illustrates the power of how loving the one in front of you, forging relationships, and creating purposeful opportunity can transform communities and our world.
