Shield Ministries with other Charleston Jobs for Life Programs were selected as one of the groups to be featured in the 12 Neighbors Project.
"The 12 Neighbors Project asks the most important question of our time, "what does it really mean to love your neighbor?"
Our goal is to create a movement of people who are inspired and educated to love their neighbors like never before.
​
We have created this 7-part film series so that people may gather together as a group, watch the films, discuss appropriate action in their own communities, and then take action together as a group."
