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.

Yesterday Awaits



A poem by a regular attender of the Sunnyside Meal on Friday nights:

Today can be whatever yesterday was not.
Today can become anything yet unsought.
So let yesterday have its space in time
Or today will become only yesterday's mime.
Such wondrous possibilities await in today
Awaiting to become what will be yesterday.
-Pat Kiser
