ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) - The unmistakable aroma of fresh burgers, donated by the local Block Meat Company, drifted through the air outside Jesus House at 11:00 a.m. as community members gathered.

But before the lunch service began, Executive Director and Founder Donny Kyker paused to lead the crowd in prayer.

For many Odessans, Jesus House-historically known as "HIS Kitchen"-has become much more than just a place to get a hot meal.
