Elim and Strong Tower Shelter Opened on Valentine’s Day in N.E. Minneapolis

This Dream of a Shelter now a Reality, was shared by Pastor Becky and the Shelter Board team as we looked for space to have a shelter. As we read and prayed Proverbs 3:5, 6 “Trust the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct/ make straight your paths.”

God kept calling us back to Elim, where we were providing cold weather shelter and would we do more. Strong Tower Church, next door, joined us in saying Yes we are open to our space being a shelter- 12 weeks ago.
