Blessings & Stories
The purpose of this ministry is to give, but in reality, we get far more than we give. The story of PawPaw’s Homeless Ministry is not so much about how we started as it is about who we serve.
We serve those who are often forgotten. Another saying is, while one person may not be able to change the world, we can change the world for one person.
People are the heart of our ministry, and at their heart are their stories and the stories of those who serve.

Holidays With PawPaw
From the Easter Bunny to Santa Claus, PawPaw has lots of friends and loves sharing them with his family.
Fairwell to Family
Family is not about being under the same roof, or surrounded by the same four walls. No, family is simply people sharing the same experiences and living life together….in community.
Like all families, the community that PawPaw’s Homeless Ministry serves suffers loss. Perhaps, because they share so much together, that loss cuts a little deeper and hurts a little harder than other families.
When a member of this family passes away, then a call goes out to Papaw Mike to come and to remember and honor a life that the rest of the world has forgotten. These stories are sad, but they are important, and out of respect for these image bearers of God, we will remember them here.
