WHY?Home Visiting the Homeless
• What is a home?• Even the most humble home can be a
place of rest, a place to regroup, to find peace and security; a door closed to the world and a roof to keep the weather out; a place to gather ourselves in life.
• What happens when this is lost?• It needs to be replaced with an authentic
relationship!
