Guess who's moving?????
After much consideration and prayer, we have decided to move our office and community center downtown. It's been a good 3 1/2 years on Alondra & Eucalyptus but we are outgrowing our space. We were offered this new location (16429 Bellflower Blvd.), which is double the size, for the same amount of rent we currently pay. We feel this move is strategic for connecting with both Oak and Eucalyptus neighbors, as well as providing more community center space for programs.
We're going to need a TON of help pulling this off. May 1st is our first big move day. If you're interested in helping, please contact Chrissy.

Meet Good Soil's New Employee
A job interview for Good Soil Industries is unique compared to most any other job. We cover the basics, but equally important is to hear their life story and the transformation that God has done in their lives. I repeatedly hear testimony of how a man experienced rock bottom and in their desperation called on God and He answered.
I asked a current employee to share his story of transformation with you. I hope his story inspires you to call on God to do something great in your life.
"My name is Jay Steele. I'm writing this to let you know the miraculous changes God has allowed me to make in my life!!
I once was a hardcore drug addict who went to prison because of my drug addiction. I cared about my drugs more than my life or anyone elses. I in a sense wasted the first 30 years of my life. My family wanted nothing to do with me, and society wanted to put me away.
I got blessed to meet Pastor Fred of I.C.M. He cared, never gave up on me and let me go to a summer camp for kids as a couselor. The experience changed my life for good. I knew of God and Jesus, but didn't KNOW them. To know that people and God care about a homeless, convict, drug addict. To allow ME to do this, to be trusted, to show faith in me.
Now I'm happily married, go to church regularly, teach the Bible to at-risk youth and even have keys to the church. I've been sober for 2 years, live in an apartment, have a job with Good Soil and have been off parole for almost a year. God is the only reason my life has changed so much. And now I am very blessed to have a phone book full of friends and now my family that I can call.
God turned Saul to Paul, so what can he do with a homeless, convict, drug addict like me? Only God knows & time will tell.
God bless,
Jay Steele"
