Kanye West celebrates one year of Sunday Service at Los Angeles homeless shelter: 'This thing saved my life'

Kanye West marked one year of hosting Sunday Service on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

The "Jesus Is King" artist chose downtown LA's Union Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter that offers foot and spiritual guidance to those in need, to host the special service and share a short message saying he wants to end homelessness around the world.

“A lot of times people say, ‘Thank you Ye for Sunday Service.’ I’m saying thank God. This thing saved my life,” West said while singing "Closed On Sunday," a song referencing Chick-fil-A and family values. “This thing was an alternative to opioids. This thing was an alternative to pornography.”

The 42-year-old, who revealed this year he became a born-again believer, said people can call him many things — just don't call him "secular." According to West, that implies he doesn't work for Jesus Christ.

"I worked for others before Christ," he said. "It landed me right in the hospital."

This guy is being honest. He makes no bones about it, “Christ is King.”
I salute him.

We should all be praying for the rest of his family to do the same. I imagine it must be fairly stressful and probably some distance between him his wife and the rest of the family.

Still don’t like his music

But I am VERY glad he has found Christ and is trying to lead others to Him.

Will keep praying for him.

He’s reaching young people with a wonderful message. That’s a good thing.

I can’t stand his old stuff but the new music for Christ and Mary is God inspired. It’s genius from the Lord. I’d be stunned by what has happened to this fellow if I didn’t already know it’s not an unusual thing except for his musical gift.
