There are many approaches to addressing homelessness which vary greatly in different areas of the country and among different types of organizations. Government subsidized organizations inevitably differ from religious organizations who receive funding without the “red tape”. Of course, we clash immediately as we believe that real and lasting transformation comes through repentance and believing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As we transition to spring-like weather, it’s time to focus on a season of growth. We plant, water, and care for gardens, but their growth depends on factors outside of our control, including ample sun and good weather. We see something similar at the Mission. Through the care that we provide, we plant a seed, eagerly anticipate growth, and come alongside to support that process. We encourage the growth—God causes it (1 Corinthians 3:6-7).

"...Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." John 20:25

The words of the first man to step on the moon were undoubtedly the result of careful deliberation on his part since he was fully aware that this utterance would be heard around the world and recorded for all future generations.

As we reflect on last year, we want to thank everyone who joined us in prayer and giving—we know that we are not alone in this ministry; your partnership allows the Mission to provide care to the homeless regardless of what is going on in the world around us. Our goal is to continue to appear as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life. (Philippians 2:14-16)
