The Greater Dallas Justice Revival represents the culmination of more than two years of work by more than three hundred members, and three thousand volunteers that include major spiritual, social, political, civic, and corporate leaders that have being praying, studying God’s word, and seeking an answer for the healing of our city. These leaders after eighteen months of seeking God’s healing of our city, met with over six thousand people during a three day event and committed to work of the success of our inner city schools and ending chronic homelessness.

The Justice Revival is committed to serve the servant-leaders in our city who have been at the forefront of being an answer to the challenges of the more than 5,000 homeless citizens of our city. We commend the numerous individuals and organizations who have been answering the call to be the hands and face of Jesus Christ to the homeless.
We commit our spiritual influence to communicate to our cities political leaders, civic leaders, and business leaders the gospel message as it relates to this issue. How we care for the “least of these” in our city, is a reflection of the character and condition of the “soul of our city.”
The Justice Revival will work to facilitate and sponsor neighborhood engagement on this issues related to homelessness. We will work to educate the public that twenty percent of the homeless include veterans who have fought for our rights as citizens. We will remind the public that forty-seven percent of the homeless are women and children, and that 1,850 new people were homeless for the first time this year due to the recession.
The Justice Revival will work closely with our city leaders to make sure that they are encouraged and supported in the accomplishment of the task force goals and objectives. This would include keeping an open conversation with council members, neighborhood association leaders, nonprofit leaders, etc.
As a part of our commitment to end homelessness, we have partnered with the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance and the Dallas Housing Authority in our “Home for our Neighbors” campaign to support the placement of the chronic homeless into long term housing with a support system (Permanent Supportive Housing).

The Greater Dallas Justice Revival is committed to the success of our inner city school systems which face great challenges. While school leaders are doing their best to treat the symptoms of these issues, they may lack the tools to adequately address the root causes of the problem, which are found in a lack of character development, lack of caring mentors, and physical, emotional and mental challenges.
A Justice Revival education initiative will allow churches and faith-based organizations to utilize existing resources to build strong advocacy relationships with selected Dallas area schools and work together with these schools to positively impact the lives of students. In doing so, these churches and organizations will establish long-term relationships that will benefit students, teachers, and administrators and allow for the core missions of the churches and organizations to be fulfilled. Such a reach will build bridges economically, socially, geographically and spiritually that will unite the Dallas community.
Currently, more than 100 schools are targeted for our outreach and to date; more than 10,000 children have been touched through assemblies, character development programs, and feeding programs.
