Paraclete program

THE PARACLETE volunteer PROGRAM

The Washington City Mission exists to share Christ...

A new ministry opportunity at The Washington City Mission

We are about to launch the Paraclete Program, a chance for volunteers to come along side our residents and walk-ins at our meals.

The program is dynamic, the purpose is intentionally flexible. Through the Paraclete Program, the homeless and needy of the community can learn how to benefit from Mission services, our residents and others can fellowship with mature Christians, have someone pray with them and—while the program is not an evangelism crusade—perhaps come to salvation.

The structure of the program involves trained volunteers coming to meals at our community kitchen, waiting and being served with our Mission residents and walk-ins, praying and dining with them and helping them begin or advance their Christian walk.

The program is for mature Christians and involves a commitment. Volunteers in the Paraclete Program will be required to attend a training session, they must agree to visit the Mission in their Paraclete capacity at least a few times per year and attend a future Paraclete Workshop.

If this is a ministry opportunity that interests you, please contact Tim Hogan, Volunteer Coordinator, thogan@citymission.org or 724.228.9240 ext 239.

Please prayerfully consider being a part of this opportunity to come along side those in need.
