Hole in the Roof Ministries
This blog is meant to equip, encourage, and inform pastors, ministry leaders, and congregants about how to love the poor in their cities well. Everyone belongs and has a home in the Church. My heart is that we, as believers and the Body of Christ, will bring the vulnerable and homeless near to Jesus like the paralyzed man’s friends in Luke 5.
About Us
Our Beliefs
We believe that everyone should feel like they have a place among the people of God. Rich or poor, all people should feel seen, cared for, and valued by God’s people. Hole in the Roof strives to equip the Church on how to create ministries that serve the poor well. Through remembering God’s heart for justice and Jesus’s ministry to the poor, we seek to equip, encourage, and inspire everyone in the Church to be friends to the poor, leading them to Jesus in tangible ways.
