Walk With Me

Supporting the Homeless

Many people come to our doors looking to make changes in their lives, and at Hope Awaits we are blessed to partner with them on their journey.  To many we become like family- and at times the only family they have ongoing connection with. This can make moving out on their own very difficult, and many may feel alone having left old habits, places and friends behind on their way to a changed life.

We all want them to be successful, yet can we really expect them to succeed if they don’t have the support they need? God created us for friendship and community with others, and Walk With Me seeks to help build this community into the lives of the men we serve.

Why Should I Become A Mentor?

Perhaps you wonder, “How can I help those in need?” or, “Can I really make  a difference?” Befriending one of our clients and journeying with him gives you the opportunity to live out the great commission. Lasting change becomes possible when we support one another.

As a Mentor I Will:

• Give encouragement and support

• Meet regularly with my mentee

• Pray for my mentee regularly

• Be a godly example and witness for Christ

• Connect my mentee with others
