Every Sunday, across 42+ communities in Lagos, we reach street-involved youth, former addicts, and forgotten young men — and walk them into freedom, purpose, and faith.
Who We Are
What began as a burden to reach two local communities on the Lagos Mainland has grown into a coordinated outreach movement operating across more than 42 active centers in Lagos, Nigeria.
Positive Turn Initiative (PTI) exists to reach individuals society often overlooks — street-involved youth, former drug addicts, hoodlums, the homeless, and economically disadvantaged young men. We walk alongside them on a journey of spiritual transformation, rehabilitation, and empowerment.
Operating under RCCG Youth Province 14 (YP14), PTI maintains structured coordination, financial accountability systems, trained volunteers, and measurable impact reporting. Every Sunday, across Lagos, lives are being redirected from addiction to purpose, from crime to calling, from hopelessness to hope.

Our Programs
PTI goes beyond evangelism. We invest in the whole person — spiritually, physically, socially, and economically.
PTI teams actively enter streets, motor parks, under-bridge communities, and high-risk areas to share the Gospel and build trust-based relationships with the unreached.
Intentional spiritual environments created through praise, worship, Bible teaching, prayer, and altar ministry — transforming hearts in the open air.
Immediate physical needs are met through meals distribution, clothing support, and basic welfare assistance — proving that love is practical, not just preached.
New converts are guided into structured spiritual growth through Bible study groups, accountability systems, and a dedicated leadership grooming pipeline.
Selected beneficiaries receive training in vocational trades, digital skills, and entrepreneurship fundamentals — building a path to economic independence and dignity.
Public baptism as a mark of new life. We celebrate every transformation openly — a declaration to the community that no one is too far gone for God's grace.
Impact at a Glance
Measurable transformation across Lagos — every number represents a person whose life has been touched, changed, or restored.

Testimonies
"Before PTI found me under Ojuelegba bridge, I had given up on life. Today I have a skill, a family, and a purpose. The Gospel they preached was not just words — it changed everything."
"I was addicted for seven years. The PTI team came to where I was — not to judge me, but to love me. After three months of discipleship, I was baptized. Today I am a center volunteer myself."
"The vocational training program gave me a trade. But more importantly, PTI gave me a community, a Bible, and a God who saw me when no one else did. I am no longer the same man."
"As a volunteer with PTI for two years, I have witnessed lives transformed that I would have written off as impossible. This ministry does not just talk about the Gospel — it lives it, every Sunday, in the hardest places of Lagos."
Active Centers
PTI is present where people are most vulnerable — under bridges, in motor parks, on street corners, and in forgotten communities.
Our Vision
PTI is not finished. The next phase is about scaling what works, deepening transformation, and building the infrastructure for lasting kingdom impact.
"He that wins souls is wise."
Proverbs 11:30
Every donation funds a Sunday. Every partner enables a transformation. Together, we can turn more streets into sanctuaries and raise more transformed men into leaders of faith and impact.
