Hope Gospel Mission Building Hope in Eau Claire, WI

When someone has nowhere else to go, no one to turn to, nothing else to lose, the only thing left is hope. Hope Gospel Mission knows the power of hope. It's found through the goodwill of others and faith in God. That is what Hope Gospel Mission gives to people. A place to stay, clean clothes and a warm meal, but much more important is the community, purpose and direction everyone needs when all else is lost. Educational programs, job training, spiritual guidance. This is how lives are rescued, rebuilt and renewed.

Opening in 1998, Hope Gospel Mission is quickly becoming a leader in the "rescue" of poor and homeless men and women in the Chippewa Valley. Our passion is to be a beacon of hope to those struggling to stay afloat.

For those seeking short-term emergency shelter, Hope Gospel mission is here for them. Much more essential, though, is our long-term programs dedicated to addressing the root causes of a homeless person’s problems. We ultimately want to see our residents become contributing, independent members of our society. A 30-day program can’t accomplish this. It takes months of intensive work to break down bad habits, then build and reinforce good ones.

In all our work, we strive to share the Love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior with those we meet—residents, donors, volunteers, and our neighbors throughout the world. As a "Gospel Mission," we believe that Christ is the key to both eternal salvation and life here on earth. It is amazing to see how our residents change when they accept the Gospel in their hearts. For as it says in Romans 8:31 "if God is for us, who can be against us?" (NIV).
