AWAKENING PARTNERS
Our desire is to see our city (and our world) awakened to the Good News of Jesus. It is this vision that compels us to join financially, prayerfully, and relationally, with like-minded local and global organizations also committed to proclaiming the Good News of Jesus.
Approximately 3,500 people are homeless in Lane County, Oregon.
Free people
Free People is a local non-profit organization that has developed in response to people experiencing homelessness in our community. Free People serves folks by providing food, clothing, friendship, and hope. They extend compassion and dignity to all. Free People serves the homeless to the end that the homeless too may become a free people, empowered to help others become free people.
EUGENE MISSION
The Eugene Mission is a wellness shelter providing meals, safe shelter, clothing, social services and the restorative message of God’s love for homeless men, women and children of the Eugene and Lane County communities.
There are many ways to volunteer at the Eugene Mission, whether at one of the various Centers, driving vans to pick up donations, teaching life skills and job training, serving in the kitchen, or mentoring men in the Life Change Program.
Nathan Woods – Director of Hospitality, FCA
As the Director of Hospitality with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), my focus is simple yet profound: healthy leaders create healthy ministry. I serve ministry leaders and coaches by creating spaces for rest, renewal, and reconnection in their faith and their ministry. Through leadership coaching, thoughtfully designed retreats, and intentional care, I help those on the front lines of ministry lead from a place of health and strength and ultimately stay in the game.
FCA has been impacting the world for Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes since 1954. By equipping leaders to grow spiritually and relationally, FCA seeks to transform lives and communities through faith, sports, and service.
Hospitality is at the heart of this mission—enhancing relationships, sustaining ministry, and pointing others to Christ’s love in every interaction.
