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.

Anawim Website

This last month, the Anawim website got its 100,000th hit.  This may not seem like much to some sites, but for a small church website, this is fantastic!  We have had 46,000 visitors, from over a hundred different nations! 
If you haven’t been to our website, it is full of information about Anawim, about homelessness, and about mental illness.  It has a large section describing Jesus’ teaching about the “anawim” who are the poor seeking God for
deliverance.  There is a section on “dehumanization” which describes how our culture treats the homeless with less respect than those in prison and how to reverse this trend.  Finally, there is a worship section, giving prayers that we could use in our daily life. 
On top of all this, we have a snazzy name for our address.  How cool is that?  Check it out:
