- Good News Ministries
- Our vision is to end homelessness in the Indianapolis area through addiction recovery, counseling, job readiness training, education, health care and a relationship with Jesus Christ. As our campus environment grows, we are able to create more of an oasis of hope in the middle of a dark and plagued east-side area. We believe that ending homelessness for anyone is a long-term process that requires immense love and structure. Our hope ministries and caring staff work with men, women and children every day to make the dream of sobriety and stability a reality.
