Extreme Faith started in the winter of 2000 by a group of high school students and their church youth leader. They started by volunteering for a local organization who provided some supplies and food for homeless who were not able to get into shelters in the St. Louis area. The group would drive the streets looking for people in need. This was a good start for the young boys who felt called to serve the homeless, but the focus of this organization was not on relationships and getting to know the people as individuals. In fact many times the boys would be forced to drop food and honk the horn as they drove away letting the people know food was at the corner. The boys considered themselves lucky if they got to sit down and talk to 2 or 3 people a night. Over time it became clear the vision God gave these youth was much more relationship based than the organization they were working with. As time went on and the winter outreach phased out for the year, the boys decided to take what they had learned and continue serving those in need. They would pool their money to buy sandwiches off the dollar menu at a local fast food restaurant and some supplies from the dollar store. They pushed forward with the vision of being a friend to someone in need. They did away with the time line and set schedules and focused on being friends with who ever needed to talk. Many times spending hours talking to one or two people who just needed someone to listen. A common theme the boys discovered as they continued with the ministry was that many people needed a friend more than food or supplies. It is this vision carried by 3 boys, a youth leader, and a pick up truck that has grown to bless, feed, and clothe tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds in a night, networking several local churches and organizations while still fighting to maintain that personal relationship with every person they serve.

I'm Jerome Cooley Jr. I was born in a family fueled by investments and real estate. I have played an active role in real estate ever since I witnessed my father buy a house for $4000 then rehabbing it to be worth 10x that amount. I have learned the inner-workings of the industry and I want to assist other investors, who yearn to have the same success, in finding the right properties. I also feel obligated to help the youth by encouraging them to follow in my footsteps and to make dreams reality. Thank you for the support! Please leave your email on this page and I will send you a list of properties for sale in your desired area. (EXAMPLE: [email protected] Clayton, MO)
