Arthur Blessitt was born in Mississippi, in the town of Greenville. He then spent his formative years growing up in Louisiana, where he lived with his family and his dad ran a well-to-do cotton form. From a young age, Arthur Blessitt understood the need for a savior and it was at the young age of 7 that Arthur attended a revival meeting and accepted Christ as his savior. It was in the late 60s when Arthur began truly evangelizing to the people around him and he eventually started preaching to the people of Hollywood, California, with a particular emphasis on the youth crowd. It was during this time, in the late 60s that the sexual revolution was taking place and the world was full of hippies and drug addicts, with all sorts of horrific things taking place on the streets. Blessitt learned to befriend and preach to all sorts of crowds, including members of Hells Angels, hippies, runaways, addicts, actors, rock stars, prostitutes and many, many more. It was from a young age that Arthur really knew that this is what was the most important thing in his life. He knew that it was vital that he preached to the people and helped spread the news of the Gospel to anyone who would listen.

One effort that Blessitt took to help reach out to people was to open a coffee shop, which he opened right next door to an adult club, in hopes of drawing in people that he could reach out to.
