The Gideon Project

The Gideon Project is the vision of Larry Walker—a servant leader with deep roots in community engagement and a passionate commitment to those who are under-resourced or without resources entirely. With a special focus on working with the homeless. Pastor Walker brings a wealth of experience as a social worker, pastor,  author, community organizer, and program developer. His unique perspective allows him to connect with individuals at their point of need and develop meaningful, sustainable solutions.

Through The Gideon Project, Larry Walker, Gideon staff and volunteers  are  building a movement—The Gideon Group—a collective of professionals who share a servant’s heart and a unified mission to uplift those in need. The Gideon Group is driven by the belief in the power of unity and purpose.

Our mission is multi-faceted: (1)To harness and maximize the gifts, talents, and resources of every servant within the Gideon Group. (2) To develop a comprehensive, life-transforming program for the unhoused men and  women, helping them rediscover purpose and dignity. (3) To provide stable housing, clear direction, foundational growth, community integration, and measurable progress for each participant in the program, and (4) To scale our efforts incrementally, expanding our programs based on both individual and collective success stories.

The Gideon Project is more than a program—it’s a call to action, a network of hope, and a pathway to restored lives and stronger communities.

Our Vision:

To create an unparalleled space for homeless men and women in the Dallas area to transform their lives into productive community servants, resourceful and responsible men and women, who will be models of success.

Our Mission

 To identify and assist men and women in recovering the dignity necessary to achieve a self-sustaining exemplary existence.
