  1. A New Era for Anawim

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / February 11, 2018 / Leave a comment
    On January 28, 2018 Anawim Christian Community joined Advocacy5 in establishing a place for homeless people to obtain some stability and to connect to the tools they need to get off the street. On February 2, 2018, the city of Portland shut down this community and took all of our...

  2. Anawim Revived!

    / December 31, 2017 / Leave a comment
    Honestly, it’s been a tough year for Anawim. We lost our home for the houseless, the RedBarn, which we have hosted meals, day shelters and overnight shelters at since 1995. The property has been sold to another local congregation and we pray that God would bless them with the property...

  3. God Directing Us Ahead

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / June 14, 2017 / 2 Comments
    Last Saturday, Anawim voted to withdraw completely from the Sanctuary/Red Barn property. This isn’t a light decision, as we have been working since last October to return to that property to open up the day shelters and night shelters again. But many factors determined that it is not meant for...

  4. Update on Anawim Changes

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / December 20, 2016 / Leave a comment
    Well, things are going to look different this year. Let’s get started with the big step. God told me to step down from being in charge of Anawim. I could give you a lot of reasons why it’s a good idea why I should. But the main issue is that...

  5. Winter is Coming!

    Posted by Diane Kimes
    / November 29, 2016 / 2 Comments
    Thus far, it’s been a very mild fall, with some heavy rains on some days. But we know that winter is coming and with that will be greater needs. We want to have donated or purchase more sleeping bags, tents, tarps and winter clothing this year. In East Multnomah...

  6. Changes

    Posted by Diane Kimes
    / November 6, 2016 / 1 Comment
    I want to apologize for not contacting you folks about Anawim and our work for a while. This year has been insane, and the months from August on, doubly so. We were deeply involved in the moving of 500 homeless folks from the Springwater corridor. And we and all the...

  7. Bad News

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / June 14, 2016 / Leave a comment
    I’m afraid I have some bad news. Yes, that’s right—this is a fundraising letter. Sorry. But it’s important. See, every year around this time we need extra funds just to make it. We have to meet needs in the summer, but people like to give in the colder months. I...

  8. Everybody Needs a Little Help…

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / June 9, 2016 / Leave a comment
    This year has been amazing, so far. Really, I’ve never seen anything like it. It really started when Portland’s mayor declared homelessness an emergency crisis, and the mayor started making radical changes in his homeless policies. He made a camp official, and declared that he would make more official. I...

  9. Loss

    Posted by SteveKimes
    / December 22, 2015 / Leave a comment
    About a month ago, a homeless friend of ours, Sunshine, had her tent lit on fire by an unknown person. A nearby paint can exploded and covered her face and hands. She had to have skin graft surgery. Praise God that someone paid for a tent for her, so when...

  10. Help Anawim Save Lives!

    Posted by jeff strong
    / October 16, 2015 / Leave a comment
    Last year in the Portland area, there were 56 people who died on the street. Many of these folks died due to winter weather. We are determined to see no one in our area die this year because of the cold and wet. But we will need your help. There...
