street hope saint JohnInitially Street Hope would not require a building but would meet in various church facilities and people’s homes. The times together would be cen-tred on three themes.

1) study and worshipWe believe there is no higher calling than to wor-ship God. We believe that for Street Hope to be a catalyst in the community we must find ourselves in God’s presence and grow in our knowledge of Him. Street Hope would gather as a community for worship, study and prayer at least once a day.

2) outreach & Maintenance programsThe emphasis here is to provide venues where people can find freedom in Christ, from a variety of addictions and behaviours. Many of the found-ing members of the community come from lives ensnared in these addictions, so the program would be of use in maintaining their freedom while reaching out to help others in the wider community to find such freedom. This would involve 12 Step studies, an Overcomers program and a variety of video and guest speakers or ministries. This would be the main way in which people become new members of the community.

3) serving the MasterThe community and its individuals would serve the wider community. This would mainly be done by volunteering with other existing ministries, particu-larly those that serve the marginalized of our city. Examples would be: Out of the Cold, Out Flow, Hope Mission, Salvation Army Friendship Centre, and mission activities sponsored by local churches.

Our initial needs are modest for such an ambition. To launch Street Hope will require one salaried position and some limited material expenses. We believe that commitments totalling $4,000/month would see us successfully launch this vision of a transformed community in cooperation with other Christians bringing fresh hope to the streets of our city.
