It's a both, and it's really difficult for somebody who's just engaging with a homeless person on the street to say, hey, let me, let me buy you a meal? But I really like the idea of having platforms like our showers and our shelters and our meal services, etcetera that can engage people potentially in a relationship.
Imagine dedicating nearly four decades to helping those in need. That’s exactly what Jeff Gilman, Executive Director of Redwood Gospel Mission in Santa Rosa, California, has done. In this episode of 'Diary of an Overcomer', Jeff opens up about his innovative approach to addressing homelessness. He goes beyond the traditional '3 hots and a cot' mentality, offering fresh insights and creative solutions that truly make a difference.
Jeff’s experience in ministry shines through as he discusses building bridges between the faith community and those living on the streets. His programs aren’t just about providing food and shelter; they’re about fostering genuine relationships and offering a path to a better life. Curious about how tiny homes can play a role in this mission? Or how COVID-19 has reshaped the landscape of homelessness services? Jeff covers it all with wisdom and compassion.
Listeners will find themselves inspired by Jeff’s dedication and innovative spirit. Whether you’re involved in community service, looking for ways to help, or simply interested in stories of resilience and faith, this episode offers valuable insights. Jeff’s story is a testament to the power of faith and creativity in tackling one of society’s most pressing issues.
