GIVING HOPE THIS EASTER!

Easter is a Celebration!

In just a few days, and for the first time in three years, we’ll block off the streets outside the Mission doors for our annual Easter Celebration! We’ll set up beautifully decorated tables and chairs, then serve a hot, sit-down meal of ham, potatoes, green beans, and dessert to our guests from Skid Row and the surrounding communities.

Together, we’ll sing and lift up the name of Jesus Christ, our risen Savior.

Easter is a time of new hope for everyone because their past doesn’t have to dictate their future. No matter what mess someone has made in their life, there’s victory through Jesus Christ. And this is His promise, not only to the homeless and less fortunate but to everyone. 

For many on the streets who suffer from homelessness, this will be their first Easter. They’ve never had to ask for help like this before, but I don’t have to tell you that because you know times are challenging right now. 

Recently, I learned the story of one of our guests who suffered the shock of homelessness. Living on the streets left him lonely, hurting, and malnourished for months. He said, "I was so hungry that I didn't care anymore. You'll do anything to put something in your belly when you're starving. There were times I just wanted to give up and end my life."

Then he said, "At the Mission, I have been given a new hope beyond a satisfying meal and a warm blanket, which comforts my daily needs. But I'm growing in Jesus, which is my hope for eternity."

         DONATE TODAY       

More and more hurting souls are coming to the Mission for hot meals and clean clothes. The need is greater than ever, and we’re there for them at Easter and all year long.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

It’s not about giving a handout but providing hope and a hand up to those in need as we share the compassionate message of Jesus—whose hands were nailed to a cross. He was battered, killed, and laid in a tomb. But three days later, Jesus exited that grave, leaving it empty so that the message of hope would be heralded at Easter and every day of the year.

I pray you’ll be led to give generously and help us today because lives are changed forever through your support.

Happy Easter,
