Anawim Christian Community is a community church made up of the homeless and the mentally ill. Our main goal is to provide for people's needs (including the need to be a disciple of Jesus) where they are at. We don't feel that a person needs to be something different before they get the help they need. Our center is in Gresham OR, which is where we lead and organize day shelters and a worship service. We also have a community house in N. Portland where housing is being provided for a few people and opportunities for community worship. We are connected to ministries in SE Portland and St. Johns, where we distribute food and clothing. And finally, through the internet, we educate people from almost every country in the world about homelessness, mental illness and the Christian response to each.

Poverty Summit for East Multnomah County
On Saturday, September 18, a group of ministries involved among the poor in East County will be speaking about how we can be involved with the poor. Key speaker will be Marshall Snider, Director of Bridgetown Ministries, speaking about how to get YOUR church involved with the poor (even if some may not want to!). After the three hour summit, there will be a BBQ where folks can speak with the ministries as well as some of our local homeless. It is being held at 9am-12pm at Peace Campus (19626 NE Glisan).

For information about any of these events, please contact Steve Kimes, stevekimes@aol.com



When you have a celebration, invite the poor, the crippled, the handicapped—all those who cannot pay you back—and you will be repaid at the reward of the righteous.” (Luke 14:13-14)
