Inspired by true events and based off the novel, “From Gangs to Jobs”, “Finding Hope Now” tells the story of a Reverend who is overcome by all the violence and killings in his community by gang activity and decides to leave his longstanding position at his church and follow his calling from God to start an organization that will give these kids an escape from this dreadful life and give them a real chance of making something of themselves. Reverend Minassian starts the organization “Hope Now for Youth” which enlists companies around the city to hire these gang youth to get them off the streets and earn an honest living for themselves. Although his intentions are postive and forthcoming, he encounters tribulation after tribulation in getting these kids to be interested and deals with failure repeatedly and almost gives up but knows if he gets just one kid, only one, then all his tireless efforts will have prevailed.
