EMMANUEL BAPTIST RESCUE MISSION
Where the Old-Time Gospel makes men new
70 years ON SKID ROW // Since 1953
What We Do
We meet the urgent spiritual and physical needs of thousands of men and women in downtown Los Angeles 24/7, 365 days of the year.
Feed the Hungry
Approximately 5,000 meals a month cooked with love for the Lord in our own kitchen. Some food is donated but mostly we purchase from donations.
Clothe the Naked
From donated clothing we provide for one and all.
Preach the Gospel TO THE POOR
13 Gospel services a week by our staff preachers and visiting preachers from local churches. Meals served after the service.
Shelter the Homeless
After a soulful Gospel service and hot meal, men are registered for a hot shower and a clean bed for the night. Coffee and breakfast in the morning.
Discipleship
New converts are offered the opportunity to study the Bible and serve in fellowship for up to 1 year onsite.
WHO WE ARE
Emmanuel Baptist Rescue Mission is truly a lighthouse in a weary city full of danger, darkness, and despair. The men and women of Skid Row are impoverished both spiritually and physically with most bound by mental illness and addictions to drugs and alcohol in a culture of self-destruction. By providing for their basic physical needs such as food, clothing, and a bed for the night, hearts are receptive to the Gospel Message. Please pray for this ministry and consider giving as the Lord leads.
