We Found the Apartment. Now We Need You.
Hi friends, Jim Copeland here with Christ’s Body Ministries.
Today I’m writing with both urgency and hope. This morning, while reading Psalm 82:2–3, I was reminded of our calling to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” It’s a powerful reminder that real help means knowing how to do the right thing at the right time.
Right now, one of the biggest needs we face is housing. Our residential community is full—every one of our 11 beds is filled, and we have a growing waitlist of men ready to leave the streets behind. They don’t just need a bed; they need community, discipleship, and the stability that comes from living in a Christ-centered home.
That’s why we’ve found a new opportunity: a five-bedroom, two-bath apartment that we can lease and open up for more residents. This space will allow us to welcome more men off the streets and into a life-giving community of believers.
But here’s the challenge: before we can sign the lease, we need to raise $3,000 in recurring monthly support. That means we need 30 new donors at $100/month.
This isn’t about charity—it’s about transformation. It’s about men like those already living in our residential program, men who’ve gone from addiction and despair to hope, work, and discipleship. Every $100 gift creates space for more of these stories.
I’m asking you today: will you be one of the 30? If you already give, would you prayerfully consider going above and beyond with an extra $100/month? Your gift will directly fund this apartment and change lives in ways that ripple far beyond a roof and four walls.
👉 Together, we can take men from the streets into stability, into discipleship, and into the love of Jesus Christ. https://christsbody.org/donate/
Thank you for praying, giving, and standing with us.
