Chapter 1: A Frightening Showdown in a Struggling Neighborhood That Sparked a Radical Trust-Based Approach.
It all started in a rough parking lot in the Westside neighborhood of Atlanta, a place most people tried hard to avoid. Pastor Bruce Deel arrived there back in the late 1990s, hoping to serve some hot food to people living in harsh conditions. He had carried pots of chili, expecting maybe to feed hungry folks who would be grateful for a warm meal. But as he ladled out portions, he realized that this community was dealing with struggles far more serious than empty stomachs. Suddenly, a woman pulled a gun on a man who had been hurling insults. Deel was terrified. He had never imagined he would face a deadly weapon while simply trying to help. Yet, this terrifying moment would be the spark that lit a powerful idea in his mind.
Instead of running away or freezing, Deel reached out to the woman in a calm, gentle way. He placed his hand on hers and quietly asked, You don’t really want this, do you? There were no grand speeches, no heroic displays. He simply trusted that underneath her anger and fear, she was someone who would choose life over violence if given the chance. Against all odds, she lowered the gun. That moment changed everything. He realized that, more than any food or material help he could bring, showing trust and expecting the best from someone could truly defuse a dangerous situation. Trust had become a tool just as important as a meal, a shelter, or a job.
A few days after that tense encounter, Deel returned to the same spot carrying baked potatoes and lemonade, fully expecting to see the same group of people who had lined up before. But the streets were empty. When he asked around, he learned that the residents believed he would never come back after witnessing such frightening violence. Over time, many would-be helpers had visited these streets, seen how tough it was, then fled at the first sign of real trouble. But Deel didn’t leave. Instead, he looked a passerby straight in the eye and promised, We return. He would not run away, and this simple decision would set the tone for everything he did afterward.
By choosing to come back, Deel sent a strong message: these people were not just faces in a crowd; they mattered enough for him to keep showing up. From that single, scary standoff grew the City of Refuge—an organization built on the idea that real change begins when you stop seeing people as lost causes and start trusting that they can make better choices. Over two decades later, that seed of trust has grown into a massive effort that has helped countless individuals find housing, healthcare, job training, and a chance to rebuild their lives. But none of this came easily. The journey would force Deel to question everything he believed about poverty, responsibility, and how best to help those living in desperate situations.
Chapter 2: Discovering That Poverty Is Not a Personal Failure but a Crisis of Lost Opportunities.
Before coming to the Westside, Deel assumed that if a person was struggling with poverty, addiction, or violence, it meant they had somehow messed up their own lives. Maybe they hadn’t tried hard enough, or they kept making poor choices. This belief was common, especially among people who had grown up in safer, more stable communities. But as he spent time with Westside residents, Deel began to realize that poverty wasn’t simply about not working hard enough. Instead, it was a condition passed down over generations, rooted in unfair systems and missing chances. These families weren’t lazy or careless; they lived in an environment where good schools, safe homes, and decent jobs were extremely rare. In short, they faced something called opportunity injustice.
Opportunity injustice means that people are born into conditions that almost guarantee hardship. On the Westside, decades of neglect had left many buildings abandoned, streets unsafe, and schools struggling with limited resources. Deep-rooted policies and practices—from racial discrimination in housing to a lack of funding for community health—ensured that people didn’t receive the support they needed. As children grew up in neighborhoods where shootings and drug use were everyday sights, it became nearly impossible to imagine a bright future. In these conditions, what might look like bad choices often felt like the only choices. Deel discovered that people who fell into cycles of addiction or crime were often doing what they thought they had to do just to survive another day.
Understanding that poverty was shaped by unfair systems changed the way Deel approached his work. Instead of preaching that people just needed to work harder or become more moral, he realized his job was to help rebuild the neighborhood’s foundation. This meant providing access to better education, safer housing, decent healthcare, and guidance that could lead to stable employment. He had to stop blaming individuals for their struggles and start confronting the roots of the problem. By recognizing that he’d had a head start in life—receiving encouragement from teachers, safe neighborhoods, and better opportunities—he saw that others had never enjoyed these advantages. The real issue wasn’t people’s moral character; it was the broken world around them.
From this new understanding, Deel’s efforts took on a sharper focus. He knew that handing out sandwiches or lecturing on good behavior wouldn’t solve deep, structural problems. Instead, he needed to address the environment in which people lived—an environment that made it far easier to lose hope than to find it. By tackling the injustice at its roots, he hoped to give people a real chance to prove that they were capable of making positive changes. He wanted to show the world that, given the right opportunities and support, people could rise above the conditions holding them back. This shift in thinking would lead him and his family into the heart of the neighborhood, changing not only their lives but also the future of the community.
Chapter 3: Leaving a Comfortable Life Behind to Live Among Those They Served and Bridge the Gap.
Deel and his wife, Rhonda, realized that if they were truly serious about helping the Westside, they couldn’t just drop by with food occasionally. They needed to understand the people’s daily challenges from the inside. This meant leaving their comfortable suburban home, with its tidy streets and friendly neighbors, and moving right into the center of the community they wanted to serve. It was a tough decision. They had young children and knew that the neighborhood had high crime rates, rundown buildings, and few resources. Still, they believed that living side by side with the residents was the only way to gain real trust and break down the distance between us and them.
So, they packed up and moved into an old church building in the heart of the Westside. The place was dark, grimy, and nothing like their previous home. There was no lush backyard for their kids to play in, only cracked pavement and broken glass. Still, day by day, they cleaned, painted, and fixed things up, making it a home as best they could. The message this sent to the community was powerful. By sacrificing their own comfort, the Deels showed they were not just passing visitors. They were now neighbors, sharing the same streets and hearing the same nighttime noises. This kind of commitment made people take them seriously, and it laid the foundation for deep, honest relationships.
As they settled in, word spread, and volunteers who once hesitated began stepping forward. The Deels started hosting dinners right there in the church, serving up food that wasn’t just cheap and filling, but actually tasty and inviting. People from all walks of life—homeless individuals, local seniors, children—gathered around long tables and learned each other’s names. The atmosphere was warm and inclusive. Instead of a charity line, it felt like a big family meal. Seeing the positive response, Deel realized that these simple acts of hospitality could break barriers and ease tensions. Trust was forming slowly, not through big announcements, but through everyday kindness and respect.
Beyond dinners, the Deels got creative. They started an after-school program for kids, offering fun activities, summer camps, and chances to see parts of the city they’d never visited. They opened a shelter that welcomed men with few rules other than not harming others. This allowed 65 men to sleep safely under one roof and eat a warm meal before bed. Soon, they extended help to young mothers in dire need of support. Living right there made these efforts real and immediate. Instead of managing programs from a distance, the Deels and their growing team lived every challenge and victory alongside the people they served. Gradually, what began as a short visit with pots of chili grew into a deeply woven bond with a community longing for trust and hope.
Chapter 4: A Troubling Encounter with Mental Illness That Inspired a Broader, Deeper Vision.
As the City of Refuge projects grew, Deel learned that small acts of kindness and basic shelters were important, but not nearly enough. One turning point came through a man named Michael, who had been staying in the men’s shelter. For a while, Michael was quiet and followed the rules. Then one night, something snapped. He demanded that a staff member apply ointment to some painful wounds. When the staffer refused, Michael exploded in rage, yelling insults and threatening everyone. The situation quickly spiraled. He got violent and even threatened to harm Deel’s family. Frightened and unsure what else to do, Deel called the police, and Michael was taken away.
Later, Michael was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Deel felt both relieved and deeply troubled. He realized that Michael wasn’t just a bad guy who caused chaos; he was a sick man who needed proper treatment, care, and understanding. The shelter, as helpful as it was, couldn’t offer the kind of medical support and mental health services Michael required. Deel began to see that their efforts so far were like putting patches on a leaking roof—helpful for a moment, but not fixing the source of the problem. The Westside needed a place where people with complex issues could find all the resources they needed under one roof.
This realization planted a bold idea in Deel’s mind: what if they created a single location where someone struggling with mental health, addiction, or homelessness could find doctors, counselors, housing experts, educational programs, and job training all in one place? No more sending people across the city with stacks of confusing paperwork, hoping they’d receive help somewhere else. Instead, imagine a big facility that welcomed everyone, no questions asked, and guided them step by step toward a better life. It was a huge dream, and Deel knew it would require enormous effort, money, and space.
Still, the idea wouldn’t let go of him. If he truly believed in trust first, then he had to trust himself and this vision. To pull it off, they would need a massive property and a lot more funding than they’d ever had. They’d also need skilled professionals who understood trauma, addiction, and mental illness. Yet, the memory of Michael’s suffering and the gap in their services pushed Deel forward. He could either settle for what they’d already done—temporary fixes, small improvements—or he could aim for a grand solution that tackled root problems. As he weighed this decision, the path ahead seemed uncertain and challenging, but he knew that real change often demanded taking risks and refusing to give up on people who needed more than a quick solution.
Chapter 5: A Rat-Infested Warehouse, A Daring Vision, and Hurricane Katrina’s Unexpected Test.
After much searching, Deel finally secured a large warehouse property in one of Atlanta’s toughest areas. It wasn’t a glorious campus; it was a drafty, run-down building with leaks, trash, and giant rats scurrying around. It felt more like a nightmare than a dream headquarters. And yet, this warehouse represented possibility. With time, money, and hard work, it could become the one-stop center Deel had imagined—a place for housing, healthcare, education, job training, and more. However, finding donors willing to support such a big, risky project was hard. Many thought Deel was too ambitious. Some advised him to focus on doing one thing really well instead of trying to solve every problem at once.
As Deel struggled to raise funds and convince people of his vision, an unexpected event shook the nation—Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, forcing thousands of families to flee their homes in Louisiana and Mississippi. Many ended up in Atlanta, desperate for shelter and basic necessities. For City of Refuge, this was a test unlike any before. Instead of turning away or offering only small help, Deel and his team sprang into action. They quickly organized a resource center on their new property, worked with volunteers, and provided shelter and warm meals to people who had lost everything. Within days, they were serving thousands, showing that they could handle massive challenges and coordinate relief efforts when it mattered most.
The response to Hurricane Katrina proved that City of Refuge wasn’t just a tiny neighborhood project. They had the energy, courage, and skill to help on a large scale. Suddenly, those who had doubted Deel’s plan began to change their minds. If this scrappy team could help thousands of hurricane survivors, maybe they really could build a permanent facility that addressed multiple issues at once. The crisis became a turning point. Donations started flowing in, and more volunteers joined. City officials and donors realized that City of Refuge could be a powerful ally in serving people on the margins of society.
By the time the hurricane relief efforts were winding down, City of Refuge had won the trust of skeptics. They showed that their trust first approach could work on a large scale, attracting new support and resources. The once rat-infested warehouse started transforming bit by bit, becoming a beacon of hope rather than a symbol of decay. Though the journey was still long, Deel felt more confident than ever. People were listening to him now. They saw that trust, compassion, and daring to dream big could make a real difference. With renewed energy, City of Refuge prepared to push forward, expanding their services and proving that big, bold ideas could grow even in places many had abandoned as hopeless.
Chapter 6: From Makeshift Efforts to a Professional Haven of Housing, Health, and Education.
With growing credibility, City of Refuge began attracting partnerships that once seemed out of reach. The mayor’s office offered $1.5 million for permanent housing projects on the property, enabling them to create apartments for homeless mothers and their children. Soon, the campus included not just shelter beds and simple meals, but entire apartment blocks, a dining hall that could serve hundreds, and a childcare center. This marked a massive step up from the days when Deel and his family lived in the cramped church building. It felt like they were no longer just patching holes; they were building a solid foundation that could support many lives.
Over time, City of Refuge created Eden Village, a housing program offering stability and safety to women and children who had nowhere else to go. Soon, they expanded again, adding more apartments for single women who needed a secure place to rebuild their lives. The team didn’t stop there. They recognized that poor health trapped many people in a cycle of hopelessness, so they set up a full-service clinic on-site. Not only did they provide medical care, but they also addressed mental health, addiction recovery, and preventive medicine. For many residents, this was their first time seeing a doctor who listened and cared.
Education was another key piece of the puzzle. Without skills and knowledge, it’s hard to break free from the grip of poverty. City of Refuge opened a private school and launched vocational training programs, helping people learn practical skills like cooking, technology, or auto repair. This would help them find decent jobs, earn a steady income, and stand on their own feet. By connecting housing, healthcare, and education all under one roof, they removed barriers that once forced people to travel across town, fill out confusing forms, or give up in frustration.
The vision Deel once struggled to explain was now becoming a reality. The once skeptical donors and community leaders began to see the beauty of this integrated approach. For those receiving help, it was life-changing. A single mother who once had to choose between feeding her children or seeking medical help could now do both. A young man with a criminal record could receive job training, therapy, and safe housing all in one place. The improvements were not just bricks and mortar; they were human transformations. It proved that trusting people’s potential and providing comprehensive support could help them rebuild their futures step by step.
Chapter 7: Realizing Real Victories Show in Small Steps, Not Just Grand Transformations.
In the early days, Deel imagined success would mean seeing people completely turn their lives around—an addict giving up drugs forever, a homeless family finding permanent stability. While such big victories did happen, he also learned that true change often came in smaller, more gradual steps. A person might go from daily binge drinking to having fewer drinks. Another might stay sober for a week, then relapse, but return again for help. Still another might struggle with eye contact or basic trust, but slowly learn to look someone in the eye without flinching. Each of these small steps mattered enormously.
At first, Deel found it frustrating when people didn’t just get better and move on. He wanted a tidy narrative: come to City of Refuge, get help, leave ready to conquer the world. But human lives are rarely that simple. Trauma and hardship don’t vanish overnight. So, Deel and his team learned to celebrate partial progress. They embraced a harm-reduction mindset, where the goal wasn’t to fix someone instantly, but to help them suffer less, grow stronger, and feel more respected. Each person’s journey was different, and sometimes, they needed multiple tries before they could achieve lasting improvement.
This understanding shifted the organization’s approach. Instead of labeling someone a failure if they returned to old habits, they treated it as another opportunity for trust and guidance. Over time, people who felt ashamed and defeated realized that nobody at City of Refuge would judge them harshly for stumbling. Instead, staff would say, You had a rough day. Let’s try again tomorrow. This atmosphere empowered individuals to keep trying, knowing they wouldn’t be cast aside at their first setback. Slowly, this built a community of genuine acceptance and long-term growth.
These small successes added up. A man struggling with addiction might start by showing up for meals sober, then gradually join a skills class, and later land a part-time job. A woman who had been trafficked and deeply traumatized might initially resist conversation, but eventually find her voice in therapy sessions. Each positive moment created a ripple effect. By shifting their view of success, City of Refuge turned into a place where people dared to hope, even if the road was long. They learned that real-life transformations are not always dramatic, but built from many small choices, made day after day, supported by trust and understanding.
Chapter 8: Trust, Not Judgment, Creates the Pathway for Lasting Community Growth.
One of the greatest lessons Deel learned was that trust flows both ways. He began his work by giving trust to strangers in a violent parking lot. Over time, he realized that these same strangers had to trust him back. They needed to believe that he and his team wouldn’t abandon them like so many others had done. This mutual trust didn’t appear overnight. It was earned through consistent actions, honest communication, and proving that City of Refuge was there to stay. By showing up day after day, through storms and setbacks, Deel’s team built bonds that no amount of fancy words or polite smiles alone could achieve.
Trust also helped the community see beyond labels. Instead of calling someone a drug addict or ex-con, the staff at City of Refuge made it a point to learn their stories. Where did this person come from? What were their dreams, their fears, their strengths? By recognizing that each individual had a complex history, they could tailor support that actually fit their needs. In turn, residents felt respected and valued as human beings. This respect encouraged them to open up, ask for help, and believe that change was possible.
The trust-first approach also challenged harmful systems. Traditional methods of assisting the poor often come with strict rules: show up sober, fill out paperwork, wait months. If you fail once, you might be kicked out. City of Refuge tried something different. They lowered barriers to entry, allowing people with problems like addiction to enter housing programs right away. This kindness didn’t make the programs less effective. In fact, it made them more successful, as people who were once too ashamed or afraid to ask for help now had a safe place to start improving their lives. Trust became the backbone of every program, proving that faith in human goodness can create safer, more loving communities.
This environment of trust and acceptance didn’t just help those in need. It inspired volunteers, donors, and local officials to join the cause. When people saw the healing that happened inside City of Refuge, they wanted to be part of it. Over time, what began as a rough encounter in a parking lot turned into a powerful movement that attracted support from all corners. Trust, it turned out, was contagious. By believing in people, City of Refuge made others believe in them too. The community they served and the city around them gradually recognized that when you stop seeing people as problems and start seeing them as partners, incredible transformations can happen.
Chapter 9: The Ripple Effects of Katrina, Crisis Responses, and Earned Credibility Inspiring Wider Impact.
The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina had shown that City of Refuge could handle major challenges. This experience taught Deel and his team valuable lessons about scaling their efforts. If they could serve thousands of displaced families during a disaster, why not use that same energy and coordination to serve the neighborhood year-round? As they expanded, other nonprofits, government agencies, and local businesses took notice. They began to share resources, ideas, and strategies. The City of Refuge model, with trust at its core, started influencing how others approached social work.
Soon, other groups and communities wanted to learn from City of Refuge. They visited the campus, talked to the staff, and took notes on how to develop trust-based services in their own neighborhoods. What began as a small, scrappy effort in one of Atlanta’s poorest areas became a shining example of what could happen when compassion guided action. Deel realized that trust was not just a philosophy to help individuals—it could reshape entire systems, encouraging more humane policies and programs. By proving that trust worked, City of Refuge challenged people to rethink old assumptions about charity and public service.
As the reputation of City of Refuge spread, new opportunities arose. Foundations offered grants, businesses contributed supplies, and professionals volunteered their skills. Doctors, nurses, teachers, and counselors gave their time, not out of pity, but because they believed in the power of equal dignity. Everyone who stepped onto the campus saw evidence of lives slowly improving. In sharing their model, City of Refuge helped create a ripple effect, inspiring others to invest in struggling communities and look for lasting solutions rather than quick fixes.
This widespread influence didn’t mean the work became easy. There were still plenty of challenges—individuals who struggled to trust after a lifetime of betrayal, unexpected financial shortages, and changing policies that sometimes made their mission harder. But now, Deel had a network of allies who understood what they were trying to accomplish. He no longer felt alone, and the residents no longer felt abandoned. The world outside the Westside started seeing the people there not as statistics, but as neighbors worth investing in. This slow but steady shift was proof that trust-based work could spark change beyond the walls of one organization, sending out waves of hope into the larger community.
Chapter 10: Embracing Ongoing Care, Multiple Chances, and the Unfinished Journeys of Real People.
By now, it was clear that some people would never become fully independent or self-sufficient, and that was okay. Deel realized that expecting everyone to finish a program and walk away perfectly fixed was unrealistic and unfair. Some people carried decades of trauma, struggled with complex health issues, or faced obstacles too deep to solve quickly. City of Refuge decided that they would remain a long-term partner, not just a stepping stone. They would stand beside people through setbacks, relapses, and dark moments, offering kindness and stability.
Take Vanessa, who had experienced homelessness and severe health problems. Even after moving into stable housing and receiving regular care, she still needed ongoing support. Or consider Rufus, a former addict who couldn’t hold a job or live without supervision. Society might call them burdens. But at City of Refuge, they were seen as fellow human beings deserving of continuous compassion. Their slow progress was not a failure; it was a truth that caring for people sometimes means caring for them indefinitely.
This understanding transformed how City of Refuge measured success. Instead of focusing on whether someone could graduate, they celebrated improvements, however small. A person who once slept on a sidewalk was now indoors and safer. Someone who lashed out in anger learned to talk things through. Another who couldn’t read managed to write their name for the first time. These moments mattered. They proved that trust, patience, and steady support could spark growth, even if it happened in tiny increments. By staying committed, City of Refuge showed that every life was valuable, even if it didn’t fit a neat success story.
As volunteers, donors, and neighbors saw how the organization cared for people over the long haul, their respect and admiration grew. This approach meant that City of Refuge wasn’t just a service provider; it was a genuine community, a safe haven. It proved that human worth isn’t measured by how quickly one can solve all their problems. Instead, it’s in the willingness to learn, try, and grow at a pace each individual can manage. By embracing people’s ongoing struggles instead of giving up on them, City of Refuge challenged the notion that only instant, dramatic turnarounds mattered. True compassion, they showed, is staying the course, year after year, with unwavering belief in the value of each person.
Chapter 11: Passing Forward the Lesson: Opportunity, Compassion, and the Lasting Power of Trust.
Looking back, the journey of City of Refuge reveals a powerful truth: changing lives in struggling communities isn’t about quick fixes or perfect solutions. It’s about understanding that poverty is deeply rooted in unequal opportunities and that trust and compassion can open doors that preaching and punishment never could. With every step, Deel and his team discovered that showing people respect, allowing them multiple chances, and offering help without judgment created real, lasting improvements. By challenging their own assumptions and daring to trust first, they built a place where hope could thrive.
From the woman with the gun in the parking lot to the hurricane evacuees who sought shelter, City of Refuge learned that everyone deserves a chance to be seen, heard, and helped. The world is filled with people who have never been given a fair shot, who were told they were worthless, or who stumbled too many times to be forgiven. Yet, by offering kindness, stability, and well-designed resources, City of Refuge allowed countless individuals to discover their own strength and goodness. Over the years, they witnessed not only personal transformations, but changes in the community’s attitude, the city’s policies, and the volunteers’ hearts.
As they move forward, the story of City of Refuge teaches us that trust is not just a nice idea—it’s a practical tool for healing. If you want to help someone, start by asking: What would I want if I were in their shoes? Don’t offer leftover scraps that send a message of disrespect. Instead, share the kind of care you’d hope to receive yourself: healthy meals, a warm bed, understanding doctors, and teachers who believe in you. This mindset prevents you from looking down on others and encourages true empathy. It’s how ordinary acts become powerful steps toward justice and equality.
As you close this story, remember that trust is like a seed. When planted in honest soil and watered with patience, it grows into a strong tree that shelters many. The example set by Pastor Bruce Deel and City of Refuge reminds us that anyone can choose to trust first. We can all make life better for others by seeing their potential, giving second chances, and refusing to give up when things get tough. This legacy will live on, inspiring people to look beyond labels and believe in the possibility of change. With trust, compassion, and hard work, even the roughest neighborhoods can become gardens of hope.
