“I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life.

“What we do best is we target the young men and women who are on the fringe. They could go either way. Maybe they have been in trouble before, but not serious trouble. ... We cherry-pick them and circumvent them away from the gang members and drug dealers ...
