ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

​​

Extending Hope Behind the Walls
Beyond providing physical aid, Calm in the Wilderness Ministry partners within the Juvenile Justice System to offer faith-based counseling, mentorship, and pastoral ministry to incarcerated youth. Many of these young people carry the weight of trauma, neglect, and broken family systems. By offering mental health services and Christ-centered discipleship, we provide pathways of hope and transformation

 

Stronger Together: Local Partnerships
We believe in community collaboration, which is why Calm in the Wilderness Ministry partners with local organizations such as Youth for Christ, Tacoma Rescue Mission and Nativity House. These partnerships allow us to extend our reach, ensuring that care packages, mental health support, and ministry efforts impact even more individuals experiencing homelessness across Pierce County.

 

​

Care Packages

Each care package costs an average of $15–$20 and includes socks, wash rags, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair combs, hand sanitizer, water bottles, wet wipes, snacks, feminine hygiene products, and more. These small but meaningful necessities provide relief, warmth, hygiene, and dignity to those who might otherwise go without. Our goal is to distribute at least 20 care packages per month for an entire year, ensuring steady support while also preparing for unforeseen needs.​

Why it Matters
Your generosity helps someone stay warm, maintain hygiene, and feel a sense of worth. For youth in the Juvenile Justice System, it means receiving encouragement, prayer, and the truth of God’s Word.

For families and individuals, whether in the streets or temporarily housed in shelters in our communities, it means being reminded that they are seen, valued, and loved.
 

As Romans 12:13 reminds us:
“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”
 

And Proverbs 11:25 promises:
“The generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

When you give, you are not only meeting immediate needs —

you are fulfilling a spiritual calling by joining Christ’s mission of restoration.

​

 

Be the Hands and Feet of Christ
Your support brings comfort, counseling, and Christ’s love to individuals and families in need.
Together, we can restore hope—one care package, one Bible, one heart at a time.​​​​​​​​​
