Homeless ministry is the intentional interaction between
Christians and
homeless persons, regardless of their faith. The ministering typically occurs in the environment in which the homeless reside. It may include distribution of provisions such as
food,
clothing, and blankets. The
ministry often involves building relationships with the homeless and providing them with information and
relational care.
Prayer, conversation, and ministering to
spiritual needs are part of the process.[1]
