Bishop Frank Allen
Director | Founder
Brother Frank’s ministry to the poor has grown from feeding the poor on a corner in the inner city and preaching from a milk crate in alleys and vacant lots to an international ministry bringing help, hope and healing to those affected by poverty and disaster in inner cities, rural poverty pockets, migrant camps and Native American Reservations, across the United States and into 26 poor countries.

Favorite Scriptures: Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” And Matthew 25:40, “ . . . Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
