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.

Praise and Prayers

~Recently, Rian and Kim, a deaf couple from Texas, came on the scene here in Gresham. They were on the street and around our facility for a month. But now they have an apartment!
~Pray for our neighbors in Gresham, that they would be kept safe from the violence that pervades our area.
~Praise God for the renewed energies and support of churches and individuals that are supporting the homeless this fall: First Baptist Church, East Hill Four Square, Rockwood Adventist, St. Henry's Catholic Church, and the many donors that keep us open!
~Pray for the many newly homeless that are coming on the street, trying to learn how to survive in cars or without anything.
~Pray for the protection of the homeless as their possessions-- especially tents and sleeping bags-- are being stolen or destroyed.
~Pray that our people would be able to gain employment for their ongoing survival.
~Pray for Robert, a mentally ill man who is without his medication and confused on the street.
