Mission: AGRM exists to proclaim the passion of Jesus toward the hungry, homeless, abused, and addicted; and to accelerate quality and effectiveness in member missions.
AGRM tells and retells the story to the church and the public at large, pointing out the need for laborers, resources, prayer, and a repentant attitude toward the poor. The association also connects its members with current news, creative ideas, and cost-saving programs, expediting the continual movement of these minisitries to higher levels of professionalism and greater outcomes.
Vision: AGRM will foster and feed a movement of diverse, energetic disciples who will see the practice of hospitality to the destitute as both a catalyst for life transformation in Jesus and a fundamental expression of their Christian faith, thus propelling the church into the lead role in society’s quest to alleviate homelessness.
With an eye on the future, AGRM recognizes the contagious fervor in younger followers of Jesus. They come from dissimilar backgrounds but collectively feel a spiritually mandated social responsibility regarding “the least of these,” as described in Matthew 25. AGRM believes that their energy, wedded with the wisdom of those more experienced, could start a revolution of compassion that would fully awaken the church to action in this critical area of personal conviction.
