Philip Walkley: Gospel in Youth Missions with the Poor

Philip Walkley, Executive Director of Service Over Self (SOS) in Memphis, gave an excellent workshop at the 2015 Rooted Conference in Chicago. In it he says, “If you’re going to disciple your students and teach them the whole gospel, a part of that has got to be teaching them about the biblical call to love and serve the poor.”

SOS (based in Memphis, TN) exists to glorify God by proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in undeserved neighborhoods through home repair and leadership development.
