More Than A Day Shelter
We are the only day shelter for homeless in Springfield, MO. We provide essential services to men and women. Beyond just being a shelter we strive to create a safe community for those who find themselves lost.
By providing Christian hospitality and respect for life through the services of food,
clothing, shelter, education and job training programs.
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,
then he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 Before him
will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 And
he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who
are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave
me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed
me,
36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you
visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
37 Then
the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 And when did
we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as
you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to
me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left,
‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and
his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I
was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
43 I was a stranger
and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison
and you did not visit me.’
44 Then they also will answer,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or
sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’
45 Then
he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one
of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
46 And
these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal
life.

We love others as Christ loves us. Jesus taught Christians how to love through his ministry, teachings and sacrifice. Our mission is to serve others regardless of where they are at in life. We are not perfect at serving but we do our best to grow in our faith as the body of Christ.
We believe that through community we can break the cycle of homelessness. Our ministry seeks to build relationships with those who have lost hope. We do this by providing their basic needs but also taking the time to get to know them personally.
Our ministry does its best to keep our neighbors, volunteers and donors safe. We have zero tolerance for alcohol and illegal drugs on our premises and we do our best to protect others from violence both verbal and physical.
