A quiet word
Jesus called welcoming the stranger a mark of his true people. Wherever you rest tonight, you carry a worth that homelessness can never take.
You are welcome here, whenever you are ready
There is no fee and no catch. Get the help you need first. And if one day you grow curious about the One who taught his people to feed the hungry and welcome the stranger, you can come and see for yourself, gently, in your own time. No pressure, ever.
