WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF
Why don’t the poor have dreams, aspirations and hope? Many of the people we work with are stuck in their own very small worlds. They wake up, look for work and food, stay out of the weather, find something to numb the pain and hunger, and find somewhere to sleep. Existence and nothing more. There is no time or energy to imagine, dream, aspire or hope. They have no role models. No one is pouring into them. They receive no praise. They don’t believe change is possible. At Extreme Response our mission is to offer “pathways of hope” to the hopeless and helpless through education reinforcement, livelihood training, nutrition and leadership development. We create opportunities to dream. Most importantly, we seek to offer true and lasting hope, which is found in relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn more about ER’s purpose:
