Breaking the spirit of poverty. In 2008, we planted our first church in the Philippines using offerings and donations from our ministry under the bridge. From 2008 to 2014, The Bridge Ministry has planted 20 other churches in other countries. Those collections come from the homeless attending our Saturday services, as well as our volunteers. A hundred percent of the work that we do comes from the offerings that we collect on Saturdays under the bridge on 15th street.
