"Open your hand to
the poor and needy neighbour in your land."
Deuteronomy 15:11
Hope Mission was founded by Christians who
deeply desired to reach out to marginalized people. This
desire continues to define Hope Mission.
Through the support of Edmonton church
communities we hold a gospel service with a served lunch,
every evening of the week, year round, in the Herb Jamieson
Centre. There is also a coffee house scheduled many Saturday
night. As well, Hope Mission serves special event dinners,
banquets and BBQ's for the inner city community.
But reaching out also involves going to
where the people are. Our counselors and Chaplains visit
people in prisons, bars, hospitals, shelters and other
agencies. Contacts are made and follow-ups are done, all in an
effort to show the love of Jesus Christ and the possibility of
forgiveness and freedom in him.
Hope Mission continues to explore other
exciting ways to reach the inner city. Outdoor barbecues and
musical concerts, banquets and drama presentations, as well as
special events through cooperation with other Christian
organizations, are all avenues to forming caring relationships
with inner city people.
In addition, in 2006 Hope Mission founded
the HOPE MISSION CHURCH.
Services are held every Sunday. For information please contact
Alan Pysar. (see left column)
Many people have found that Hope
Mission offers a unique vehicle to proclaim Jesus Christ
through serving. If you are interested in
volunteering, or if
you desire to further this ministry through
