At Bring the Light Ministries, we are dedicated to illuminating the lives of the lost, broken, and needy. Through acts of service, spiritual discipleship, and communal outreach, we can provide food, shelter, and prayer to the most vulnerable. The people on the streets of Dallas need us now more than ever, and that necessity comes in many forms, whether it’s food, clothing, or housing. Along with other essential needs such as personal hygiene and health, Bring the Light Ministries can light the way for thousands of people. 

There are many reasons why a person becomes homeless, and most of them are invisible to us. The average houseless person in America becomes homeless out of circumstances beyond their control—regardless of what led them to their current misfortune, it is our duty to uplift, support, and heal. Whether it’s age, joblessness, or disability, many things can prevent a person from engaging in society, such as working or paying rent. Plus, their lives are made more difficult by the national trend to criminalize homelessness, whether it’s punishing loitering, destroying tent cities, or discouraging them from asking for help or means. 

Dallas is just one of many American cities filled with people who struggle with homelessness. It is the failure of our city to provide basic human needs for its people, and Bring the Light Ministries believes that it is our calling to give to those who most require it. We could not accomplish anything without all of the donors, volunteers, partners, and prayer warriors that comprise us; BTL knows that through your prayerful support and material kindness, we can ultimately get people off the streets and treat them according to Christ’s example.
