Originally members of a Sunday school class and choir of 105 children, the founders of Win Souls for God started their community outreach very early. At age 18 these friends began to invite street people to come to church services and even live in the church sanctuary. After the church asked them to take their outreach to a different location a core group of 10 pooled their monthly income and created Win Souls for God.

WSG members slept on the street with homeless and children. They describe eating from the trash in order to better understand the people around them. Primarily all outreach was evangelism but after building relationships with the neediest citizens of Addis Ababa the group decided to create projects that would take children and families off of the street, prevent trafficking and rehabilitate the abused and neglected. Staff and volunteers are inspired to join WSG through church presentations, school campaigns, and summer camp ministry that brings teens from around the world to Addis.
