Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about GIFTS. Over the last 12 years, God has done miraculous things to get the ministry to where it is today. Through the incredible generosity of people like you, GIFTS has grown from a homeless-homeless ministry, traveling between churches week to week to house men, to becoming a state of the art facility that is able to serve, encourage, bless and help up to 40+ men a night. Our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and donors have worked tirelessly over the years to be a shining light in the community of Janesville.
The goal of GIFTS is to provide hope and healing through the love of Jesus Christ to men who have lost their way. As you read through the stories of our clients and begin to understand better how our ministry works, we hope that you will open your heart and your hands to the men who have made GIFTS their temporary home. At GIFTS, men are empowered by challenging their thinking and changing their attitudes. They learn to embrace the love of Jesus and move forward in their lives knowing that they are cared for and loved not only by our Heavenly Father but also by their GIFTS family.Our future is very bright and I’m excited to be a part of such an important ministry. Homelessness is a complicated issue but together we can make a difference in the lives of the amazing men who walk through our doors each and every day. And the only way we can continue doing what we do and expanding our ministry is through the commitment and partnership of people like you. Thank you again for taking the time to explore what we do and who we are.
Have a blessed day,
John Koesema
GIFTS Executive Director
