Last year, Canton, Ohio, homeless shelter Refuge of Hope was running out of open beds during February—one of winter’s coldest months. To help, Whipple Heights Christian and Missionary Alliance Church converted its hall into a dormitory to house some 20 homeless men. While Refuge of Hope provided a nightly supervisor, church volunteers signed up to serve coffee, fresh fruit and snacks. Others hung out with the men—even watching the Super Bowl together.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People
None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
