Our Story
2 Act Ministries is made up entirely of volunteers who are committed to sharing Jesus’ love
How it began.
2 Act Ministries is a Las Vegas-based Christian 501(c)(3) sharing the love and hope of Jesus with our homeless neighbors.
Through Grace Haven—our affordable Christian transitional housing—and regular street outreach, we provide essentials, prayer, and a path toward stability.
What began with 5 friends, 30 pairs of socks, and peanut butter sandwiches has grown into a ministry offering food, water, hygiene kits, seasonal supplies, and Christian resources to those in need. At every outreach, we share the Gospel, pray with people, and connect them to recovery programs, shelter, and life‑changing resources.
Our heart is simple: meet immediate needs, offer hope, and help people take the next step toward a new life.

Kevin Lamont
Board Member
Today I'm in Vegas because my former spouse joined the USAF and got stationed here at Nellis. God softened my heart to be an imitator of our Apostle Paul as He was an imitator of Christ, which led me to my dear brother in Christ Ron Cornell.
We go and do the things Jesus tells us to. My Reward is Jesus, it's eternal life with Him, my rock, my salvation, my refuge, the One Whom my soul loves. At this point and forever more. I'm living out with the Word of God as my guide.
2 Act Ministries allows believers to go and do as Christ commands. With the Holy Spirit we are His witnesses to the ends of the earth. In our case Las Vegas, and wherever we send people back home too as well who are willing to go home off the street hopefully with the message of the gospel the light of Christ and the power of God unto salvation written in their hearts.
