"Feed The Hungry"
This is a MOBILE street ministry. Many of the people served by this ministry are not even welcome in the skid road soup kitchens. We have been told by these poor hungry people, "I have not eaten in two days" and "You are saving lives down here". Bible Studies - Baptizing - Street Ministry
Serving God on the Downtown Eastside

This church is located on the toughest block of the Downtown Eastside. What once was a beer parlour is now a place of worship. The Street Church reaches out to the homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes and other needy residents of this community. It provides free meals, Bible studies and a variety of outreach programs to the needy. The Street Church welcomes cash donations, as well as food and clothing to keep its ministry going. There is also a need for more volunteers to help reach out to the community.

"Extending a hand up, not a hand out"
"The Harvest Project is dedicated to those who are experiencing difficult life circumstances. The Harvest assists North Shore residents in transition who require short-term support and are willing to help themselves."
"Taking it to the Streets"
With a stretched out hand, we help those who need us, whether it's a hot meal, clothes, groceries, finding a place to stay, or just someone to listen and counsel them through a difficult time. Lifeline empowers people to improve their lives, not only through assistance, but by giving them hope.
"To show God's love in Christ by working in partnership with the church, community and those in need so that together we achieve wholeness."
The Mustard Seed Street Church began from a prayer closet in a store on Government Street in Victoria. The need of the underprivileged was so great that the ministry expanded to a building on Pandora Avenue. It began its outreach to the community as a church which soon grew to include a food bank, clothing bank, counseling and advocacy service, prison visitation and street ministry.
“Each time it is the same, it is a miracle.”

“Let us be with you on the road back”
“Let us be with you on the road back” is our tag line for StreetHope Abbotsford. Those who are saved from the street know what they need to keep going and be successful in their restoration. Restoring and transforming one life at a time is what StreetHope is all about. Show you care for people and people will be transformed. We can only give from the abundance that the Lord gives to us. StreetHope and Church Army have said YES to meeting people where they are. Jesus has met us where we were all at and has given us the tools and abundance of gifts to get the Word out. God is alive and well living in the hearts of those who serve the poor and needy in the streets of Abbotsford. “Relationship is what it is all about!”
“Go for souls, and go for the most lost”
That is what the founder of Church Army suggested over 100 years ago.  Streethope.org is a continuation of a ministry in Victoria, B.C. which has been following that advice since 1986.We love to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ but for those who are allergic to Christians we simply share His love in ways that are meaningful.  That can mean providing food or shelter or just some understanding.  If you would like to talk to us, we would be glad to hear from you.
