Reaching the Inner Cities With the Message of Hope
Let’s take it back to the beginning. When Pastor Sonny and Sister Julie Arguinzoni founded Victory Outreach in 1967, they had one mission — to reach east LA for Jesus. Then it went to reach the inner cities of the world with the message, hope, and plan of Jesus Christ.
From small Bible studies in East Los Angeles to vibrant churches across the globe, that same heartbeat continues today. Victory Outreach San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and international works in Cape Town, South Africa; Amsterdam, Holland; and Guadalajara, Mexico are living examples of what happens when faith meets community action.
These churches go beyond Sunday services — they’re boots on the ground, showing love to people who feel forgotten. Whether it’s visiting prisons, feeding the hungry, or helping someone break free from addiction, Victory Outreach is where faith meets real change.
Free Recovery Homes That Transform Lives
One of the most powerful ways Victory Outreach helps the community is through its free recovery homes. These aren’t ordinary treatment centers — they are faith-filled environments where men and women experience complete transformation through the power of God.
With over 50 years of proven success and a 70% graduation rate, Victory Outreach recovery homes offer hope to individuals battling addiction, brokenness, and hopelessness.
Unlike traditional programs, Victory Outreach focuses on the Word of God, prayer, and godly decision-making to help each person walk through their “journey of change.”
As many graduates testify — it’s not just recovery, it’s rebirth. And this transformation isn’t limited to the U.S. — it’s happening across the world in places like Cape Town, Amsterdam, and Guadalajara, where Victory Outreach recovery homes are changing lives daily.
Family First: Building Strong Foundations
Victory Outreach believes that real change begins with the family. The goal isn’t just to get someone clean — it’s to help them rebuild relationships, restore trust, and experience what a healthy, faith-filled family looks like.
In San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, countless families have been reunited because of the spiritual and practical support Victory Outreach provides. And around the world, from South Africa to Europe to Latin America, families are finding hope again through these same principles of faith and love.
From parenting classes to prayer groups, every effort points back to one message: you’re not alone, and God has a plan for your family.
Empowering the Next Generation Through Youth Mentorship
Let’s talk about the next generation. Victory Outreach knows that the future belongs to young people — that’s why the church invests heavily in youth mentorship, leadership training, and community outreach.
In major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, Victory Outreach Third Wave, which is the student a young adult ministry, mentors teens and young adults through street evangelism, creative arts, and community events.
These programs teach them how to make positive decisions, discover their God-given purpose, and become role models in their neighborhoods.
But it doesn’t stop there. Across the world — in cities like Cape Town, Amsterdam, and Guadalajara — young leaders are being raised up through Victory Outreach to bring light to their communities and carry the same message of hope that started in the heart of Pastor Sonny back in 1967.
Every young person who walks through the doors of Victory Outreach is seen as a leader in the making — someone who can rise up and bring hope to their generation.
Prison Ministry: Bringing Hope Behind Bars
Many of Victory Outreach’s leaders and members have powerful stories of redemption — from addiction, incarceration, and brokenness — to freedom and leadership. That’s why the church is passionate about prison ministry.
Through letters, visitations, and Bible studies behind bars, the team shares the message that no one is too far gone for God’s grace. Men and women are coming out of prison transformed, ready to rebuild their lives and give back to their communities.
In fact, many who once sat behind bars now lead recovery homes and community programs — both in the U.S. and around the world. In places like Cape Town and Amsterdam, the same message of hope continues to reach those behind walls, proving that God’s love knows no borders.
Global Reach, Local Impact
Although Victory Outreach is a global ministry, every city plays a unique role. Victory Outreach San Francisco reaches people in one of the most challenging inner-city environments in America — bringing hope to those battling homelessness, addiction, and despair.
Victory Outreach Los Angeles continues to be a headquarters of faith, where new leaders are raised and sent out to plant churches around the world.
And Victory Outreach New York stands as a lighthouse of hope in one of the busiest cities on earth — showing that no place is too dark for the light of Jesus to shine.
Beyond the United States, Victory Outreach has thriving works in Cape Town, South Africa, Amsterdam, Holland, and Guadalajara, Mexico, where men and women are being reached, restored, and released to impact their nations.
From the U.S. to Africa, from Europe to Latin America — the movement continues to grow, proving that hope truly has no limits.
A Message That Changes Everything

The programs, homes, and ministries are tools — but the real transformation comes from a personal relationship with Christ.
