Vision statement-

Our vision is to feed, clothe and house the homeless/ destitute and aids orphans. To create a permanent solution for these

people and aids orphans. To combat unemployment – by creating a self help project resulting in self sustainability.

Mission Statement-

To give people back their dignity. To re establish Gods order.

Our mission is to make a difference by bringing back life as God had ordained for all of families to enjoy. To equip them

with the word of God thereby strengthening them and teaching skills that will enable them to become self sufficient. The

children are our potential future leaders and we must restore social equity in our nation. Empower the children by bringing

in care givers to love and care for them and give them a solid foundation entrenched in the love of God.

The call

Foundation scripture;- Math 25v35

For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me

together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me.

My name is Ps Maggie Jentison.  I am the founder member of Homeless in the Park Christian Ministries.

In the year 2005 God gave me a dream in which He instructed me to go to Joubert Park in the city of Johannesburg, feed the

homeless and destitute. I obeyed because I knew it was God. The ministry grew, more people joined. God said to me give Jesus

to the poor.

More about us...

Homeless in the Park is an outreach ministry that helps the poor and needy. We started the ministry in the year 2005 in the

inner city areas as well as outlying areas in need We provide food, food parcels and preowned / clothing for the homeless and

the destitute. We formally registered the ministry in 2009 as a nonprofit organization. This ministry is also a registered

SARS benefit organization.

In the year 2010 we expanded the ministry to helping the homeless and under privileged people in the city of Johannesburg,

Eastrand, and surrounding areas, mainly informal settlements. We also support a homeless children’s crèche. We often find

mothers in the street with their babies and children fending for themselves in the streets of the city.
