Churches Unite to Serve Homeless and Addicted
Faith Facts
- Churches of Christ and other local congregations collaborate to help the homeless and those battling addiction.
- In Trinidad, Colorado, The Way ministry, started by Clay and Mary Mason, provides meals and spiritual support to people living on the margins.
- In Glenmora, Louisiana, a cooperative of churches runs a Christ-centered recovery ministry for men fighting substance abuse.
Through faith-driven alliances, churches are meeting pressing needs among the homeless and those struggling with addiction. Their efforts combine compassion and the gospel to uplift individuals and restore hope.
In Trinidad, Colorado, Clay and Mary Mason’s journey led them to develop The Way ministry, a church without walls dedicated to serving people without homes. Multiple churches lend hands and support, reflecting Christian unity.
“We noticed these people weren’t tourists, so we fed about 55 people that day.”
Local churches partner to provide hot meals twice daily, and the Masons continue to serve from their RV, preparing dozens of meals for those in need. The ministry’s doors are always open, serving as a warming center during cold spells and a source of steady love.
In Glenmora, Louisiana, five churches joined to create a recovery ministry that transforms lives through Christ. Men facing addiction find both physical nourishment and spiritual encouragement in a caring community.
“I think for my church, and I’m sure others, it humanized people with addiction,” said Justin Simmons, who preaches for the Church of Christ in Glenmora. “Maybe even church-going people kind of look at addicts as not human beings — though they would never say that.”
Churches share responsibilities, rotating services and devotionals, and making sure every man is supported as he seeks a new life in Christ.
“If they succeed and wind up in a pew, we see it as a win,” Simmons said. “If they find Christ and through him stay sober and connect to a church and grow spiritually and put back into community — that’s a win.”
Efforts like these show the strength that comes when believers join together, guided by a heart for the lost and faith in Jesus. United action honors God, uplifts communities, and changes lives for His glory.

Faith Facts
- Banyamulenge in Minembwe, DRC, protest incessant drone attacks and bombings killing unarmed civilians since early 2026.
- Regime enforces ethnic cleansing via sieges denying food, medicine, and essentials, plus church destructions in Uvira.
- Christian leaders and peace talks remain silent amid atrocities driven by mineral exploitation interests.
The clouds wept as Banyamulenge gathered in despair against aerial terror mirroring ancient oppressions condemned in Scripture.
Biblical justice demands believers defend these vulnerable families targeted for their land and heritage.
In a blood-soaked region, multinationals prioritize critical minerals over innocent lives sacrificed since colonial times.
God calls His people to rescue the oppressed, as Psalm 82 urges: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”
Faithful patriots, pray boldly for Banyamulenge freedom, amplify their voices, and press leaders for intervention upholding Christian values.
Faith Facts
- Norse settlers established Christianity in Greenland by 1000 AD, building a cathedral in 1126.
- Rev. Hans Egede’s 1721 mission reintroduced faith to Inuit, inventing their alphabet.
- Kleinschmidt Bible, first full version in Greenlandic, published in 1900.
Christian presence flickered across Greenland’s icy vastness for centuries since Viking longboats arrived with Erik the Red.
Norse explorers from there carried the Gospel to North America’s shores, marking earliest continental witness.
Rumors of lost Catholics spurred Egede’s quest under Denmark’s king, shifting to Inuit evangelism amid ruins.
Moravians, Poul Egede, Otto Fabricius, and Danish Bible Society persisted through fires and revisions, spreading the Good News.
Celebrate this legacy, patriots: champion Bible missions to defend faith, family, and freedom worldwide.
Faith Facts
- Villagers in Kanker District block Sambai Mandavi’s burial, demanding family reconvert to Hinduism.
- Supreme Court orders halt exhumations, yet fresh threats defy justice for tribal believers.
- 23 burial attacks in Chhattisgarh 2025 reveal systematic war on Christian dignity.
In Chhattisgarh, India, tribal extremists prevented 34-year-old Christian Sambai Mandavi’s burial after her Feb. 24 death, claiming it defiles their deities and land.
Her husband Kamlesh faces assault threats and forced exhumation if buried in Amodi village cemetery or family land.
United Christian Forum footage shows exhumations like Benur village remains cremated after 20 years, turning grief into nightmare.
Families discover empty graves or trek miles, pressured to abandon Christ for village rites.
“This incident occurs just days after the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting exhumations,” the Progressive Christian Alliance stated.
“Yet, the persistence of such threats underscores a blatant disregard for judicial directives.”
“The Chhattisgarh government’s calculated silence speaks volumes,” said John Dayal.
“This is not just about dignity in death; it’s about whether tribal Christians belong to their own villages.”
Petitions decry police complicity in desecrations, violating equality and life with dignity under God’s law.
Stand with persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy, upholding biblical honor for the dead and freedom to worship Christ boldly.
