For
40 years Jesus House, a nondenominational Christian outreach
organization, has been transforming the lives of those battling
addiction, suffering from mental illness, or facing the perils of
homelessness and poverty. More than a shelter, Jesus House is a hub of
community support that transforms the lives of their residents, as well
as the tens of thousands of people who depend on the work of Jesus House
volunteers who seek out the needs of the community.
Early in the morning, before the sun peeks over the horizon, Jesus House
volunteers in Oklahoma City, Okla., are fast at work preparing 100,000
meals a year to feed the homeless. Many provide aid to
homebound senior citizens by repairing pipes, mowing lawns, building
fences, and providing grocery baskets and bottled water, along with
prayers for their brothers and sisters in Christ.
