"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'


Dear Church,

I am sending you this letter so that you may know about us. We are a Christ centered inner city mission, working with the homeless, poor or the unfortunate in the city. We are open every night 5.00-9.00 pm; we have a service at 7.00pm which includes a time of worship, testimonies and a gospel message, after which people are invited for prayer; which is an excellent time to minister to the people and get to know them.

Although we are poor, we are fully supplied; people give as they are led to do so. Our limitation is merely our capacity to believe that indeed “I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20b (The Message).

We are not affiliated with any church organization, and most of our regular workers have their own home church. None of our workers receive any remuneration; although we are blessed in many other ways.

Please let your congregation know about this as we may be a blessing to one another “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5 (KJV).

We may be a useful resource to the mission minded local churches for front line training and experience. "He did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience in battle." Judges 3:2 (NLT)

We are prepared to come and talk to any of your small groups to build awareness of our work.


For Jesus.
House of Refuge Mission
