Hello everyone welcome to Reaching Out Radio International.

Tonight on Pioneering The Frontier, your host are Jennifer Butler & Leci Jones they welcome on Matthew Allen, Souled Out 4 Jesus Ministries.

About his ministry: 

How we started... I come from a lifestyle in the streets. I found myself early on mixed up with gangs, drug dealing and living a fast life. In 2005 I went to prison for 12yrs for multiple armed robberies. Towards the end of my prison sentence a life changing event took place in my life, a fellow inmate shared the gospel of Jesus with me. Next thing I knew Gods grace consumed me drawing me into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I gave up all my gang affiliations and everything that the streets had to offer to serve Jesus. It wasn't easy, but it has been worth it. Since my conversion my heart is to share the gospel with others especially those that society has deemed outcast. I released from prison in 2017 and have been outreaching the streets since day one. Testifying of the saving grace of Jesus and how no one is too far gone. I understand firsthand the struggles and misconceptions that come from a lifestyle in the streets which makes me able to reach and relate personally.

Souled Out 4 Jesus focus is to be the church inside and outside the walls of a building. Our mission is the Great Commission. We go into impoverished areas in our community and beyond that most don't...... reaching the unreachable. Our heart is to spiritually restore those who are broken, lost to the streets, and or feel as if there is no hope. Jesus instructed us as believers to go into All nations making disciples....so discipleship is our goal. Reaching the one....building the one....and then sending the one out to make disciples of others.
