OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. -Matthew 25:35-36 |
The other day, as the summer months were just getting under way, a fellow caught our attention. He was sitting on the curb of City Mission, stooped over almost like his head would touch the concrete if he went any further – and quite motionless.
We approached him and asked to sit on the curb along side for a moment – he agreed. Over the following 30 minutes or so we talked about life, how he ended up on the curb … how we ended up on the same curb, our families, our hopes and what the day may bring.
What was the reason for his slump that day?
It was the lack of hope when a person believes the curb is the highest point they’ll get to.
This is where you and City Mission matter the most. Together, we step into these moments that God creates. Together we stand in the darkest places of a person’s day. Together we show up when others have abandoned life and hope. Together we keep the doors open to this regions only 24/7 shelter for men, women and children.
Together – we represent God to people who need love! The summer months are a great opportunity to pitch in – together. We need you prayer, volunteer and financial support so that conversations that lead to life change actually have a chance to occur.
Please take a look at how you can support City Mission this summer in July and August – our two most difficult months in terms of higher temps and greater need. If you’ve given in June – THANK YOU! Your gift is already at work in the lives of people.
Thank you for making July and August possible!
City Mission Team!

Combating Homelessness
July 16, 2019
By: Robert Barr Combating homelessness requires a two-pronged approach. Often, immediate housing is needed and rescue missions like the City Mission of Findlay, who I am currently working with, provide overnight housing for those needing shelter. However, overnight housing alone is not adequate. Read More |
