What’s Going On? The following are highlights (recorded on facebook over the past month) of how God is transforming the lives of the least of our brothers and sisters… (Note: Church on the Street is not in the direct business of social services, we are in the business of reconciliation. Thus, what God is doing […]
There was no healing at the pool of Bethesda until one was willing to step into the TROUBLED water (John 5:1-9). This morning DJ was very troubled and came in to Retreat like a tornado. I stepped directly into his trouble, spoke with him briefly then walked away. After a few minutes he came back and apologized […]
We believe in a living, active God. This is the only way that what we do has any logic and it is thus central to who we are. We recently announced a new ministry, Retreat from the Street. The ministry is in essence a holy space, set apart from the everyday, where men and women in precarious […]
I talk to as many people as I can about the mission of Church on the Street. This question almost always comes up: “what do you do?” It’s a valid question, but a little off the mark. Do we ‘do’ things at Church on the Street? Yes, for instance we have a Saturdays on the […]
Have you ever wondered why you see so many homeless people sleeping in the middle of the day? I know that for many of us, me included, our first response is that they must be drunk or on drugs. I mean, why else would you be asleep on the ground in the middle of the […]

A group of well-intentioned Christians who, in their zeal to serve the least of their homeless brother’s and sister’s, drive to a section of the city where the homeless congregate to pass out food, usually a sandwich, often straight from the window of the van they are driving. In their zeal, they […]
An important part of our ministry is to encourage, teach, cajole and provide opportunities for the church in Atlanta, America and around the world to come together in unity to reach out to the most vulnerable of their neighbors. This task is no less difficult on the streets of Atlanta than it is in your […]
Charlie has been on the streets for over ten years. It all started when he walked in on his wife with another man. Since then Charlie just hasn’t been the same. It seemed to trigger a mental disconnect which was probably always there in the background. After some time in a mental institution he was […]
When we believed that God was calling us to a particular ministry to love the outcasts, we wanted to first find what was happening on behalf of the poor and homeless already and try to fill in a gap. What we found was both enlightening and disturbing. To tell you the truth, there are many […]
