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.

The Broken Are Chosen
Mercy liked this ornament because it was broken and so was interesting. God also chooses the broken to do His work.
Thank You Art
"Thump" woke up in the middle of the night in his tent and was inspired to make this with what he had around him. He had dumpster dived all the materials. Then he gave it to Anawim for all the help he'd gotten there.
And thank you to Trinity Lutheran who had a giving tree for Anawim and so delivered so many hats and socks and gloves and more. Thank you guys so much!

Anawim Artwork and Poetry
The Anawim folks are a talented group, but often they don't have the resources to use their talents. Yvan Strong, our worship minister, is an artist in her own right and has established the Anawim Art Studio. The studio is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the Anawim folks and people from the community at large to create art using a variety of media with Yvan to
tutor, if necessary. In this month's newsletter we are highlighting some of the art and poetry created by Anawim folks. If you would like to receive our newsletter, participate in the art studio, or

Today can be whatever yesterday was not.
Today can become
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

Awaiting to become what will be yesterday.
