Hope of the Poor
We work with the poor. Our mission field is drug-addicted street kids, homeless families, and people who live at the city dump. We bring hope to the rejected, the lonely, and the unloved. We feed the poor, rent homes to take families off the street and work with employers to find them jobs. But we don’t stop there. Mother Theresa often said the greatest poverty is being unloved. We want to inspire all generations to radically love and bring hope to the hopeless.
