Pawpaw’s Homeless Ministry lives by the saying “be the change you want to see in the world.” Founder Mike Rice didn’t decide to create a new ministry one night; rather, the ministry was born out of a simple desire to be the change he wanted to see. 

So out of a few leftovers- some loaves and fishes, if you will- God took Pawpaw Mike’s one simple desire and turned it into a ministry that has served thousands of meals over the years.

We all want to see the world become a better place.  What we don’t realize, or even see, for that matter, is that making it a better place starts with the person that we see in the mirror every day.  In a world that teaches us that bigger is better, take a page out of Pawpaw Mike’s book and determine that all change, no matter how big or small, starts with one small step forward.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
