Mission & Vision

It is becoming increasingly clear that without strong one-on-one intervention, using proven Evidenced Based Outcomes approaches such as Critical Time Intervention (CTI) and others, we will not be effective in truly reducing our rates of homelessness. Moreover, the plethora of Christian churches in the USA have many biblical directives to reach out and help the poor, and are very eager to assist in any way possible. The mission of Kingdom Pathways seeks to meet the need of passionate, caring intervention into the lives of the homeless, with the goal of helping them escape the cycle of homelessness and become more independent.

Mission Statement:
Mobilize the Christian churches in the America to unite in outreach to the poor, providing pathways to independence, in collaboration with existing resources.

Motivation:
In John 17:20-23, Jesus prayed for oneness in the church as evidence that Jesus was truly sent by the Father. We have seen clearly, through this word and experience, that there is a connection between unified Christian fellowship & service and effectiveness in outreach. Thus, Kingdom Pathways seeks to bind all denominations together in reaching the poor, and praying for lasting change in their lives, and in the communities surrounding the outreaches.

Vision:
It is our belief that when the Christian church unites in real-life, systematic, and continuous outreach to the poor, lasting change can happen. We are based in St. Paul, MN with our model outreach, and plan on duplicating these outreaches all over the Twin Cities, and throughout the USA.

Imagine for a moment, if 10-15 churches bound together, again and again and again, in many housing outreaches to the poor all over a given metro area, then connected together in Christian fellowship and prayer multiple times throughout a year. The rates of homelessness in that metropolitan area would surely be reduced, and lasting community change would occur as people partner together in many other ways as well.

Model:
Each section of this website describes the model outreach housing projects we run. It should be noted that this is truly a collaborative model.

First of all, people come out from many local churches to reach the poor together. John runs a small group. Jolene cooks a meal. Janelle helps with administration. Joe plugs in as a case manager and life mentor, Bob helps with maintenance. Louis helps with transportation. Lori helps gather donations for clothing and other basic needs. Professionals from the local Christian community come out to help as Social Worker, Chemical Dependency Counselor, Food Service Manager, and Mental Health professional. All are connected together EVERY WEEK in collaboration, and literally the Christian community in that area is bound together in reaching out to the poor! Moreover, various outside local resources are connected in as well.

Secondly, this collaborative model is a front-lines outreach to the poor and recovering, which then collaborates with others in referring to other housing organizations to provide 2nd Step self-pay housing, long term recovery housing, long term inpatient treatment housing, etc, already in existence today. These collaborative outreaches to the poor provide a systematic way to bind churches and organizations together for the cause of Christ... assisting the poor and recovering.
