Abstract
This thesis will focus on the crimes and violence that have corrupted and invaded the world, in a life-threatening, devastating, and unprecedented way. Criminal gangs have made their presence in communities all around the world, which has resulted in mental corruption and spiritual and physical destruction. Regardless of how gang members are looked upon and viewed by society due to their daily ungodly activities, the author will address the importance of the church becoming dedicated to reach gangs with the gospel, which holds the power to transform the life of whoever hears it regardless of their past or present. The author will research this thesis project through surveys and interviews with gang members along with their family and friends. A model for reaching this group will be developed and give people the tools needed on how to reach inner-city gangs for Christ with the gospel.
