Lombard, IL
Homeless Shelter
Sponsor: Rev. Duane Feldman

Homeless shelters create excellent opportunities to meet felt needs, demonstrate genuine care and develop relationships for sharing the gospel. Peace Lutheran in Lombard, IL is a congregation that has turned most of it’s building into a place for homeless people to rest, particularly during the frigid days and nights of winter. The church opens it’s doors on a rotation basis, along with other churches in the area. The response is outstanding. The staff at Peace interacts with those who come for shelter and food, developing relationships and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. This enterprise ministry to homeless people has energized the entire congregation as people experience the joy of sharing love and concern as well as the Good News of Jesus with people - many of whom are very discouraged.
