On Saturday, July 11, 2026, Revive My People made its final homeless outreach stop of the day near the Dragon Smoke Shop and a nearby encampment in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.
The team brought food, clothing, hygiene products, and other essentials. They also came ready to listen, understand people’s needs, and connect them with continued assistance.
One of those connections began when Revive My People mentor Joshua met a man named Reggie. For Reggie, a path forward began with someone taking the time to listen.

A Conversation That Began With Listening
Joshua approached Reggie and asked a simple question:
“What brought you over here? How did you get into this situation?”
Reggie answered honestly.
“Man... you know, the devil, man.”
Rather than offering a few encouraging words and moving on, Joshua stayed and listened.
Reggie shared that medical challenges had left him with limited mobility on his left side, affecting nearly every part of daily life. He needed more than a meal. He needed someone willing to see the person behind the situation and hear his story.
