Mission Background
Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness
Founded in 1949 by John Van Diest Sr., the Mission opened its doors as the "John 3:16 Mission." From its earliest days of ministry, the words of that verse of salvation and hope have been at the heart and soul of our motivation for service... For God so loved the world that He gave His only son.
Since then the Portland Rescue Mission has had a tireless commitment to breaking the cycle of homelessness.
By creating a safe and healing environment for homeless men, women, and children that is more than just a shelter and soup kitchen, the Mission offers the means to transition individuals into new lives armed with education, recovery skills, and spiritual grace.
Hope means so much more than to desire success; it also represents what the Total Life Recovery experience provides the chronically homeless by imparting coping skills, life skills, job skills, and most importantly, the spiritual foundation needed to rebuild a broken life. Hope means knowing that you are never alone.
The Burnside Men's Shelter, Shepherd's Door Women's and Children's Shelter and the Next Step Transitional Home are all vital to the Portland Rescue Mission's goal to address the root causes of homelessness and actively break its hold on thousands of precious lives. Our goal is total life recovery for every person to whom we minister.
