Homeless in Cornwall

 

 

Hope for the Homeless is reaching out to the homeless community of

 Penzance, taking hot homemade stew, hot dogs, buttered rolls, cakes, biscuits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit and sweets as well as clothing - showing, in a practical way, the love of Jesus to a group of people who are generally despised and rejected by society.

Our hearts desire is to offer hope to the rough sleepers and homeless, those who are marginalised by society because of substance abuse and dependency on alcohol or drugs, breakdowns or family rejection, ex-service men or ex-offenders.

The hope we offer is the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Jesus says, "Come to me , all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."  Matthew 11:28

We have seen mens' lives turned around as they deal with their past, recognise their sins and realise their need for forgiveness (and the need for them to forgive others).  Turning away from life controlling habits can be long, frustrating, hard, and at other times it can be almost instant.  But it comes by the power of and faith in Jesus Christ.
