Welcome to My Home

Being invited into someone's tent is a reminder that while we call this ministry a 'homeless' ministry, what we are really saying is that people are 'houseless.'

When visiting a camp of approximately 30-40 people, after awhile, you earn the 'right' to visit them on a more personal level. Then you are welcomed into their tent and asked to make yourself 'at home.' You sense the same amount of hospitality, just as if you invited someone into your own home.

This is, after all, their home. It is important to remember this. As Jesus tells us in Matthew 8:20 (also Luke 9:58), "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
