BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Bruce Warrick, founder of Trust God Ministries, is continuing his mission to uplift children in the City of Buffalo.

"They need us. That's it. We can't keep losing our children to violence," Warrick said. "I've been working with the youth for 18 years and they're still dealing with a lot."

That's why Warrick established the Rise in Victory Foundation.

"I'm in the process of turning my building into a safe place for them," he added. "They can come to be mentored, counseled, and just be themselves and be able to talk to somebody that actually cares for them."

Some of the children who attend the church say they feel Warrick will make the change that's needed for the City of Buffalo.

"The stabbings and all of that at such a young age really messes up our mindset," said 14-year-old Aahlissah Veras. "So when you really think about it, I feel like having something like this can help us and if you think about it, our generation is going downhill."

"It's not necessarily pushing a religion on us," said 15-year-old Deonne Wedlington."But more like trying to help us understand the spiritual warfare that goes on that we don't realize."
