Spending the Night on Skid Row Los Angeles

Skid Row is home to thousands of homeless in Los Angeles. Along with the homeless, there are many drug dealers, prostitutes, and violent people. But they are still people. Enoch Magazine documents a group of Christians that spend the night in Skid Row.

I first saw Skid Row while driving by years ago when I was in college; nothing has changed and that was over 40 years ago. Unreal. With all the wealth floating around LA, nothing has changed. There are thousands of empty abandoned hotels down there, they need to renovate them and get beds for everyone, no reason why that should not be done.

@skylur44 It has changed a lot and most of the hotels aer now housing for the homeless. Ive been doing work here for over 2 years and ive seen huge changes - Nate

I lived on skid row for 7 yrs. I smoked crack down there, I have slept in tents, I have sold my body down there. I am no longer using. I have been clean for almost a year. It took me going to jail again, to stop using. I have been away from skid row for almost a year. I still have friends that live down there, I do not judge anyone. I love everyone unconditionally. So all we can do is pray for the people that are still in the grips of their addiction. I know alot of these people on this video

Skid Row is within walking distance from the Staples Center. We worked with CSM and went and worked at Midnight Mission too

You taped up a tent! Thanks for saving the world. You got some great footage out of it too. Would you be so kind as to give us an update on the subjects in the film?
