Our Mission

We meet people where they are– the homeless, addicted, and low-income families of San Francisco, connect them to Jesus, and point them to a path for future success.

Through the message of a saving, healing savior, and the practical meeting of their basic needs, we introduce people to a new way of life, and a new hope for their future.

Edmond and Liz Wong founded Calvary Street Ministries in 1988.

Throughout 30 years of ministry, the Wong family along with dozens of volunteers have seen thousands come to know Jesus, be set free from addiction, and begin a new way of life. 

Our founder, Edmond Wong was a heroin addict on the streets of San Francisco, and after finding Jesus– His life was forever changed. He founded this ministry, and became a beloved & sought-after preacher and evangelist to ministries and churches up and down California. He passed away due to cancer in 2008.

Now led by our Co-Founder and Director, Liz Wong, our Executive Director, Hosanna Wong, and our Director of Operations, Elijah Wong, the Wong family has continued their mission to bring hope and truth to the streets of San Francisco and beyond.

Through weekly street outreaches, Bible studies, and prayer meetings, Saturday services, Sunday recovery meetings, and our weekly food pantry, we develop real, and personal relationships with the homeless, addicted, struggling, and low-income of San Francisco, and point people towards a new life in Jesus.
