For 22 years, since March of 1986, THE BETTER WAY has provided a haven of hope to people in the notorious "Short North District" of Columbus, Ohio. Thousands of addicts, prostitutes, homeless, the broken-hearted and lonely and those who have just "fallen through the cracks" of life have found the life-changing power of Jesus Christ through THE BETTER WAY.
Built on the foundation of pro-active street witnessing, dynamic Neighborhood Bible Studies, and need- oriented outreaches, THE BETTER WAY helps provide a better life for over ten thousand people each year. The vision of the ministry is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in a mighty and powerful way with signs, wonders, and miracles following.
