Homeless Ministration – A Branch of the Good Samaritan Project
The Homeless Ministration is a vital part of the broader Good Samaritan Project, initiated by Pastor Raymond Onuha under the Christian organization PPGM (Power Presence of God Ministries). This outreach focuses on showing Christ-like compassion to those living on the streets, offering them not only physical relief but also spiritual and emotional care.
Every Friday, a team of dedicated volunteers from the church goes out to Hlavní nádraží, a central train station in Prague, specifically to the area known as “Sherwood”—a place with the highest concentration of people without shelter. Many of these individuals are addicted to various substances, including alcohol, drugs, and gambling. They are often not only without a roof over their heads, but truly homeless—missing a sense of safety, belonging, and home.
The team brings food, water, and clothing, but more importantly, they bring a message of hope and transformation, aiming to help people reintegrate into society. PPGM doesn’t stop at meeting immediate needs—it offers a pathway toward long-term change. Another important program run by PPGM volunteers supports the homeless in essential aspects of reintegration, including obtaining personal documents, finding employment, and securing accommodation.
A key part of this pathway involves referral to addiction recovery programs, particularly through partnerships with organizations like Teen Challenge. Teen Challenge offers a one-year residential program for individuals struggling with addiction, supporting them in overcoming substance dependency through structured, faith-based rehabilitation.
PPGM continues to walk alongside participants during and after the program, offering spiritual mentorship, prayer, and community support. The transformation they aim for is holistic—addressing body, soul, and spirit.
What sets this ministry apart is its commitment to long-term restoration. Volunteers are trained not just to provide charity, but to build trust, listen deeply, and nurture faith.
Through the Homeless Ministration, the Good Samaritan Project lives out the parable it’s named after—crossing societal boundaries, binding wounds, and lifting lives, one soul at a time.
