need a hand up, not a hand-out
Founder and CEO of Joy Junction,
one of the Southwest's largest homeless shelters
Homeless In The City: A Call To Service blends the life story of Jeremy Reynalds, an Englishman who came to America, became homeless through unfortunate circumstances, then went on to become the founder and executive director of one of the Southwest's largest homeless shelters.
Reynalds reminds us that even affluent people can be just a few steps away from homelessness, and that Christians need to have compassion for all homeless people regardless of their status.
This book is filled with details about how individuals or churches can start their own homeless ministry, including important topics like starting a non-profit organization, raising funds and dealing with the governmental agencies and the media.
