So what is Walk to Siloam?

What is the purpose?

These are good questions, please read on.

The purpose of the Walk to Siloam is to build up the Church in the context of homeless ministry. The Walk to Siloam Community believes that this ministry will build up the Church in these ways: (1) encouraging homeless individuals to make life-long commitments to following, serving and knowing Jesus Christ; (2) creating communities of disciples in homeless shelters so that homeless persons can minister to and encourage each other as they follow Jesus Christ; (3) breaking down walls of pride and prejudice that keep homeless persons separated from local church bodies; and (4) creating a community where various individuals and organizations that have been called to minister to the homeless can work together to experience Christ.

The immediate aim of the Walk to Siloam is solely to improve the pilgrim’s knowledge of Jesus Christ. The community believes that this is the purpose of OUR existence and is the first priority for improving anyone’s life, even if that person is homeless. God can and will use a homeless person right where they are at to build His kingdom and glorify Him.

The Walk to Siloam is NOT designed to end homelessness, provide the pilgrims with employment, financial or medical assistance. Many other excellent organizations already exist to help in those areas.

Sharing God’s Love, letting these men know that God does love them, giving them Hope is what we are about with Walk to Siloam!

Will you consider supporting this cause by making a donation to Walk to Siloam either in green agape or agape items?

Come to the Saturday night service at 7:00pm on October 2nd at Camp Zephyr at Lake Mathis,  and see what a difference your prayers, your agape, and your presence makes in a person’s life!
