The Man Behind the Mission
He didn't build a platform. He built a presence — on the streets, in the prisons, and in the lives of people the world had already written off. This is his heart.

Eric Schwalbach didn't come from a seminary. He came from the same streets he serves. He didn't wait for a committee to approve his mission or a budget to fund his calling. He went. He showed up. He kept showing up.
The ministry of Jesus In The Streets grew out of one unshakeable conviction — everyone deserves a second chance. Not the people who look like they deserve it. Everyone. The man under the bridge. The woman coming out of prison. The teenager failed by every system meant to protect him.
Eric goes to them. Not eventually. Now.
He has fed thousands. Prayed with hundreds. Walked alongside people coming out of incarceration when no one else would. He's not building a brand — he's building people.
"I know your deeds. I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. You have little strength — yet you kept my word and have not denied my name."
Revelation 3:8 · The Word Eric Stands OnThe Philadelphia church that Jesus commended wasn't the biggest or most powerful. It was the most faithful. That's Eric. Little strength. Immovable faithfulness.
He believes the door Jesus opened for this ministry is the same door the broken and forgotten need to walk through. He'll be standing at it every day, making sure they know it's open.
Psalm 82 · The Scripture That Moves Eric's Feet
These aren't staged photos. This is Eric's Tuesday. His Saturday. His every day.
"Whatever you did for the least of these — you did for me." — Matt. 25:40
"Go therefore and make disciples." — Matt. 28:19
"The harvest is plentiful, the workers are few." — Matt. 9:37
Eric isn't isolated on the streets. He's connected to the broader body of Christ — including the world of The Chosen, the most-watched Christian series in history with over 100 million viewers worldwide.
The man Jesus raised from the dead — in scripture and on screen.
"Jesus called out, 'Lazarus, come out!'" — John 11:43
Faith isn't just his ministry — it's his marriage, his home, his family.
"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." — Eccl. 4:12
The streets are serious work. Eric carries joy everywhere — because the Gospel is good news.
"The joy of the Lord is your strength." — Neh. 8:10
Eric doesn't talk about these. He lives them. Every day. On every street.
Not the people who look like they've earned it. Everyone. The man under the bridge and the man in the mansion both need what only God can give — Eric brings it to both without flinching.
Jesus looked up in the tree and said "I'm coming to your house today." Eric took that literally. He goes. Every time. Without waiting for permission, a budget, or perfect conditions.
Eric plants. He waters. He trusts God for the harvest — and the harvest comes. He doesn't need to see the fruit to stay faithful. He just needs to keep showing up.
Before Eric serves the streets, he serves his family. The Schwalbach home is the foundation everything else is built on.
Eric and Mrs. Schwalbach share more than a last name — they share a calling. Their home is where the mission lives before it ever hits the streets.
The Schwalbach family are living proof of exactly what Eric tells the people he serves: "If you make the right choices, you can grow up and have the life of your dreams — a beautiful family, kids who love you unconditionally, and the ability to provide for them the things you never had."
He's not preaching theory. He's living it.

"I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."
"Because you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial."
