The power of prayer changes lives
Before a life is transformed, it is often lifted up in prayer.
For more than 75 years, faithful supporters have surrounded Shelter KC with prayer—asking God to provide hope for the hurting, strength for our staff, and lasting transformation for every man and woman who walks through our doors. We believe God hears those prayers, and we see His faithfulness every day.

“God brought me here to open my eyes... This place saved my life.”
“There are a lot of people out there who need a chance to get back on their feet. We get three meals a day. A roof over our heads. So, ‘thank you’ to all the donors. We appreciate it. The money is going to help men who have problems. I wouldn’t want to be on the streets, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to be.” — Brian Mooney
