Our Church Friends
- Home PDX
If you have
any experience with the church world; we’re not much like that.
We think, look and act differently; we’ve come up with different
answers than the traditional church and probably have more
questions than answers. We have no choice; we have to be
different. After all, 90% of our friends sleep outdoors
year around.
- 1-4-1 PDX
1-4-1 is a growing cooperative effort of local and national
individuals and organizations. We are providing ever increasing

treasure with these beautiful, bright, yet futureless youth who
have been tossed on the scrap heap of society. We, together,
will give them a chance at tomorrow.
