True story, before becoming a serve enthusiast - Anthony Minor was trying to quit the church. But he just couldn’t shake the genuine and personal kind of love he was experiencing at Hope City Church in Houston, TX. On a vacation with his wife, he read the book Servolution and it sparked something in his heart. Before he even got home, he put the word out on social media that he was coming home to SERVE… asking people to just let him know what they needed. Ever since then he and his wife, Michelle, have been 1000000% all in to serve people with the love of Jesus in their city, throughout the nation, and across the world. They have a saying that “your 'yes' changes lives” and they’re proof of just how true that is.

Catch their powerful story and all of the incredible and special things happening at Hope City on this episode of the SERVE Brew!

When they discovered that children in their community in South Asia were being sold into trafficking - Ps. Mark and his family knew they had to do something to help.

What started with saying “YES” to rescuing five children has now turned into hundreds of children being rescued, receiving education, dreaming big, and worshipping Jesus. AND now, they’re seeing these precious children’s families being transformed, too! The cycle of injustice is being broken and a cycle of HOPE is being sparked!

Learn all about Changing Destiny ministry and their beautiful heart for the “one” that is behind all they do on this episode of the SERVE Brew.
