At New Hope Outreach it is A Different World

The streets tonight are filled with many different people. Some are very happy and act as if they don't have a care in the world. Others struggle with their very existence.

They are not homeless people. In fact they come from some very good families and have good jobs. Some University students and others are parents. But for the most part they are lonely and are trying to find the love that they have never found at home, church or the communities that they come from.

They are people of the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, namely the Church and Wellesley Street. In fact they may exist in any area of any major city in any area of the world.

Some struggle with their identity. Many came to this area because of pain from various sources, facing homosexual and transgendered desires they looked for love and acceptance.

New Hope Outreach regularly meets men and women in this core area that need to see demonstrated the love of Jesus. We attempt to build a relationship with the people we meet and share the most important message in the world - that is Jesus loves them and so do we. We tell them that Jesus loves them just the way they are and wants to care for them in the most intimate way.

We face problems with our 'message' however. Our 'message' is the same basic message of the church and probably that of their own families - at least in the words. That 'message' is the same as most of their people of their small towns that surround this major city. The problem with the 'message' is what they have heard from those that surrounded them in their home areas was never backed up by any actions of love. For that reason they struggle with our message and watch us closely to see if we will love them no matter what they have done or will do, no matter how they dress or how they act.

New Hope Outreach carefully prepares itself to demonstrate the real love that Jesus intended for all Christians to show. The offer hope when their seems to be no one to care for the individual. We do this because Jesus loved them so much He died for them too.
