Love Wins Ministries shares unconditional love and friendship with the homeless and poor population of Raleigh, North Carolina. We focus on relationships, not outcomes – just like you do with your friendships. If one of our friends wants change in their life, we will help with that however we can. And if they desire no change at all, we will honor that as well. No matter what, they will be loved, respected and treated as an equal. Because they are.
Can You Break That Down Some?
Sure thing. Here at Love Wins Ministries, we see our mission as having two parts.
- We seek to demonstrate, in the context of relationships, the practical love we see in the teachings of Jesus to those on the margins of society.
- We want to empower and enable people who follow the teachings of Jesus to live out God’s love for the marginalized.
We want to build relationships that cross cultural and societal barriers. We are trying to learn to love each other in accordance with our particularly hopeful interpretation of the teachings of Jesus.
It is not that complicated: We love people – period. No agenda, no strings attached. People that society has left behind. People who wear dirty clothes. People who beg for money on the side of the road. People who are not welcome in most church buildings. People the city wishes would disappear. People made, we believe, in the very image of God.
