Dégagé Ministries

To be gentle you have to be tender and have good-manners. A flower is delicate, and beautiful. Us as humans are the same. Do you treat others the way you would treat a flower?
Here at Degage Ministries we approach each interaction with gentleness and compassion, working to actively listen to life stories, offering comfort and guiding them towards self-empowerment and stability.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22

We are happy to share that 106 women have been housed! But we are not going to stop there. We are working continuously to encourage and walk alongside these wonderful women. And continue to foster relationships with everyone we come across.

Being faithful is steadfast affection. For you it could be seen in your faithfulness to your partner, or could be your faithfulness to God. Our faithfulness is seen as loyalty and trustworthiness.
Degage Ministries remains faithful to our mission of serving the people experiencing homelessness, and staying committed to our cause even when facing challenges and obstacles.

Remembering Dale Evenhouse, Executive Director Dégagé Coffee house 1970's. Dale led us in the very early years and followed in the founders footsteps. We want to honor and thank him for his contribution and dedication. The foundation that he helped create stands strong today because of his efforts and the efforts of all the Executive Directors since him. Prayers and thanks. https://bit.ly/3zCkOs0

Goodness is the quality of being morally good. What do we view as good? What is good? I think this is a question that requires time to think about.
Degage Ministries upholds the value of goodness by advocating for the rights and well-being of the people experiencing homelessness, and working tirelessly to address the systemic issues and to create a positive change in our community.

Happy Friday, everyone! As we wrap up another busy week, it's important to take a moment for ourselves and prioritize our mental health. Today, let's dedicate some time to a much-needed self-care and mental health reset.
