Water Street, the Church, Poverty and Homelessness

Question: What’s our role as Water Street Ministries in partnering to meet needs of poor folks caught in a cycle of homelessness and poverty? And how does our role mesh with the role of the local church in working together to meet this need?

We are discussing this question on campus right now! Our goal of course is that our residential men and women become essential members of local congregations in the community. As our men and women emerge from this cycle of addiction and homelessness it is absolutely vital they connect with people in the church in a healthy and mutual fashion!

So we are speaking internally about how we can better coordinate our efforts at every point with the local church. And we are inviting discussion with local pastors about how we can serve them as they work to heighten awareness about issues of poverty and homelessness in their congregations.

If you’d be interested in dialoguing more about how Water Street Ministries might connect more intentionally and effectively with the local church, give Steve a call at 393-7709, X250 or e-mail him at Steve.Brubaker@WaterStreetMinistries.org
