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.

Welcome to the first Anawim Christian Community Newsletter!

Welcome to the first Anawim Christian Community Newsletter!

We hope that this newsletter will be informative for your life and your prayers. If you are looking at this wondering, “What the heck IS Anawim? Some sort of new age cult? A new kind of whole grain?” Anawim is a Hebrew word that means “the poor and outcast who seek the Lord for deliverance.” In Portland, we are a community church for the homeless and the mentally ill. We also want to help provide opportunities for service, for both the poor and middle class. And Finally, we want to inform all people about the homeless and how to minister to them. Want to know about Anawim?

Do you have a question about the homeless or mentally ill, which you would like answered? Just ask us at our email address, anawimcc@gmail.com  and we'll try to answer asap!
