Hope for the Mission

Getting It Right in the Call to End Homelessness

By: Kevin Nye

Narrated by: Kevin Nye

To end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and facts

For over a century, the primary Christian ministry model for the un­housed in North America has been gospel rescue missions that offer shelter and food but prioritize evangelism over proven solutions. This approach often perpetuates homelessness rather than ending it.

In this inspiring and clarifying audiobook, Kevin Nye highlights faith-based models that align with best practices, showing how churches and ministries can truly help end homelessness. Alongside critical evaluation of what groups have tended to get wrong, Nye shares hope­ful stories about what’s going right. These exemplar organizations and churches illustrate how groups of all sizes can embody effective, evidence-based practices.

Hope for the Mission offers values to emulate and methods to em­body as we follow Jesus toward solidarity with the unhoused. This audiobook invites us to imagine a world where everyone has a home and equips us for the real mission before us: loving our unhoused neigh­bors in ways that lead to fullness and flourishing.
