Homeless ministry is bringing the power, mercy, and joy of Jesus Christ to the un-housed; to the people who need to hear God’s good news most urgently.
As a homeless outreach pastor, you’re called to treat the people you minister with respect and dignity. You can’t flinch at a bad smell, recoil at an ugly wound, judge someone with a criminal record, or scoff at someone who’s mental illness rubs you the wrong way.
Homeless ministry can take place anywhere the unhoused and indigent are found, both domestically and abroad through international outreach and missions- in a municipal or church-sponsored shelter, at a treatment center… and out on our city streets.
