“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.”

— Isaiah 9:2

We aim to bring the Kingdom of God down into the streets of Kensington, by reminding people of their profound identity as children of God the Father, and making them disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our mission is to plant the seeds of truth in the hearts of young people and families that are overwhelmed by a culture of death, drugs, and abandonment. We believe through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, great transformation is possible to make Kensington become like “sweet smelling incense before the Lord.”

In the Bible it says in reference to Jesus “Come to me, you who desire me, and eat your fill of my fruits. Those who eat of me will hunger for more, and those who drink of me will thirst for more” (Sirach 24:19,21). This backwards logic plays out in the ministry we are undertaking, because by encountering Jesus Christ in a personal way in the midst of their chaotic lives, young people will undoubtedly begin thirsting for more, because only Jesus can fulfill all our needs.

“The Mud” A documentary.

A 12-minute video that clearly illustrates the challenges that life in Kensington presents and how Michael Grogan Ministry is working to bring the people here to their personal connection with Heaven.

Michael Grogan strongly emphasizes the charismatic element which is present in the prayer groups he holds each week with youths caught up in gang and drug culture. He received an image once through prayer which he often relates in order to explain what happens when the Holy Spirit strikes during these meetings:

I often think of Ben Franklin, who took a key and went up to the roof and waited during the lightning storm for that electricity to come down through that key. I often say that our prayer groups are like that. We send them in and they wait on the power of God, and boy oh boy, when there is that ‘touchdown,’ when that happens these young people are completely transformed and they have such zeal and enthusiasm. They go out and bring their friends and little by little this is how our neighborhood is transformed.
