Homeless Ministry

- weekdays

In our new home we are the hands and feet of Jesus Christ by serving our friends in need of basic human necessities.  We offer a shower, laundry services,  ID services, Bible studies, and spiritual guidance. We also provide other needed services such as counseling, rehab referrals, and sober living house sponsorships.

Belarusian Ministry

-New Thing
New Thing is a ministry focused on Belarus (former USSR), known as the “last dictatorship in Europe.” Doug Brendel and other volunteers minister the compassion of Christ across Belarus, and Doug’s creative Bible-teaching books and videos are released in Russian throughout the nation. Doug is also active in ministry in the English-speaking world.

-Otklik
Otklik is Russian for “response of the heart.” This Belarusian charity organizes support for 75 orphanages, hospitals, prisons, senior citizens’ homes, and other institutions across Belarus. Headed by a resourceful woman we call “The Great Kozovaya,” Otklik gives us access to a country that would otherwise be difficult to minister in.

-Zhodino Shelter
Zhodino is a town about an hour north of Minsk, the Belarusian capital. There’s a shelter for abused and abandoned children there, and our Prodigal’s Home congregation of the homeless and urban poor give 100% of their weekly offerings in support of the staff at this shelter. Prodigal’s founder Mike Ricker has spent extensive time as a volunteer there. Our hearts are there. And you’re invited!
