Our church is committed to supporting the Mission of God throughout the world. Locally, Nationally and Internationally. Every year 10% of our church budget is given to the mission team to actively support our mission partners and projects.

In addition to this prayerful support and funding, additional funding is used for a youth mission trip to Mexico each summer and an adult mission trip to Honduras each Fall. This brings the total to around 20% of the annual budget of the church.

The Mission Team meets each month to pray and discuss the mission of the church.The aim of the team is "To inspire, equip and enable the congregation to participate in, local, national or international missions" This is accomplished by:

Praying weekly for our specific missionaries and EPC sponsored programs and publicizing them throughout the year.

Having an effective platform for our visiting missionaries to give their presentations.

Preparing to financially and physically respond to local, national and international disasters.

Our church currently has 9 long term missionary units supported throughout the world. These range from work within the Muslim areas of the world, Campus Ministries, Missionary Care, A Missionary Hospital, Hispanic Ministry, Bible Translation, Disaster Trauma Relief and Church Planting.

How are we responding to COVID-19 situation?

During this time the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission is taking extra precautions to help alleviate the spread of Covid-19. With these new precautions in place, the Mission HAS REMAINED OPEN to continue providing meals and shelter to the homeless and underprivileged.

We would like to thank the Klamath County Health Department for their very helpful and informative input during our staff meeting this week so we might faithfully continue to pursue our mission of Rescue, Recovery, and Renewal in the Klamath Basin.

We have had ZERO cases of COVID-19. Praise the Lord!

We fully understand the financial struggles that our supporters will be experiencing in these weeks to come. Please know how very vital your support is, especially now, for the Mission to be able to provide food, showers, and shelter to those in great need. Trust in Him for all things!

Meet the New Chaplain/Men's Director

Klamath Falls Gospel Mission is pleased to announce our new Chaplain/Men's Director will be starting work June 1 st.

Joe McFarlan has called Klamath Falls home since 1987. After graduating from Klamath Union High School (Class of '92), Joe enlisted as a US Army Infantryman. He served for 13 years, becoming a Staff Sergeant and Squad Leader. Joe served 7 more years in the Air National Guard before retiring from military duty.

Joe and Kim have been married for 16 years, and have two daughters at home.

A member of BBC Ministries since he was 12, Joe has a passion to share the Gospel with folks in tough places. He is a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association and has taken part in the local Jail Ministry. In May 2017, he first brought that zeal as a chapel speaker here at KFGM. There in our Walnut St. facility, Joe was excited to step into the very same pulpit where his grandfather has passionately preached as a volunteer in the Mission's early years.

We are delighted to have Joe on our team, and so grateful for God's provision sending workers into the harvest.

We invite you to come share lunch with the new Chaplain/Men's Director, 11:30 a.m. Monday - Friday. RSVP with Administrative Secretary Candy at 541-882-4895 X 0.

What is 300 Strong?

In the book of Judges, the man Gideon was told "The Lord is with you" and the Lord wanted to show Himself strong, so the Lord spoke through Gideon to 22,000 people if you are fearful and trembling, GO HOME. So the number left was 10,000.

The Lord had the remaining 10,000 drink water and basically those who drank like a dog had to go home too. This left "300", that were "STRONG", because though small in number, their hope was in their God. Despite insurmountable odds, those "300" ended up defeating an army 135,000.

What does this mean to you? We have seemingly insurmountable odds with the spiritual and physical warfare that many men, women and children are going through right here in the Klamath Basin. But we also have the same God that Gideon does "300 STRONG" signifies a small number of people, that are not afraid of this fight because they know God is for them and they don't drink water like a puppy.
Will you be one of the 300, the "300 STRONG" (monthly givers)?
Go to Donations to sign up to be one of the 300 people that gives $10, $20, $40, $100, or any amount you feel led to give, on a monthly basis. Or fill out one of the 300 Strong secure envelopes and return to the Gospel Mission. What seems small to you is a very powerful thing, when partnered with the Lord.

The night after he resurrected from the dead, Jesus appeared to his disciples in the upper room. In the midst of their doubts or uncertainties, he gave them a commission to carry out their work on earth continuing his ministry.

As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.

- John 20:21

At Redwood, we believe it is our responsibility to carry out the same mission into our world that Jesus did into his. Jesus came to give life, and give it to the full, to serve others, and to seek and save the lost. Jesus commanded and commissioned the church to do the same. It is our desire to bring Jesus into the lives of the people in the Rogue Valley so they can see and experience the hope and promise that is found in Him.

Our Mission is to help people say "yes" to Jesus.

What exactly are we saying "yes" to? To whatever your next step with Jesus is - salvation, study, or service. We believe that wherever you currently are in your walk with Christ, even if that walk hasn't started yet, our mission is help you take the next step.

St. Vincent's Receives Medford Rent Relief Grant

The City of Medford has awarded St. Vincent de Paul a federal COVID-19 rent relief grant. These funds will be administered via telephone (541-772-3828) through their Social Service conference.

The federal funds will only be available to low- and moderate-income Medford residents and applicants must have a COVID-19 related hardship and show proof of income. St. Vincent's will consider paying a client's current month's rent, but cannot cover back rent.

In addition to this federal grant, St. Vincent's will continue to offer COVID-19 rent relief to other Jackson County residents. Ashland and Talent residents should call St. Vincent's Ashland office at (541) 708-5650.

St. Vincent's will also continue to offer its other emergency services helping to pay utilities, prescription drugs, etc. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 10 am until 2 pm.

COVID-19 Guidelines to Protect
St. Vincent Volunteers & those we serve
Wear masks or face shields covering nose and mouth at all times while on the property & keep safe distances from each other.
Wash hands frequently (washing stations in front of store, in office lobby and dining room).
For everyone's protection, do not come to St. Vincent's when feeling ill.
If feeling ill, take your temperature and contact your Primary Care Physician (PCP). There are non-contact forehead thermometers available in the office.
Seek testing if recommended by your PCP. Both Providence and Asante hospitals provide COVID-19 tests with authorization by a PCP. Additionally, Rogue Valley has other clinics, including Valley Immediate Care & La Clinica, available for testing with appointments.

Include County Health personnel in discussions focused on responding to a positive test and closure of all or part of our Facility.

St. Vincent's Has Reopened

St. Vincent de Paul has slowly re-opened its services. The Medford social services agency closed its facilities on North Pacific Highway on July 16 after one of its volunteers tested positive for COVID-19. They have continued to serve the needy via phone connections and volunteers visiting homes.

The all-volunteer group has worked closely with the Jackson County Health and Environmental Public Health Departments. St. Vincent's has followed their specific guidelines to safeguard the safety of its clients and volunteers on re-opening.

The Thrift Store is open on Tuesday thru Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm. Donations will be accepted Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 3:30 pm.

The Dining Room remains closed for indoor meals. However, sack lunch and grocery bag distribution have begun. Lunch will be offered Monday through Friday from 11 am until 1 pm. Client mail will again be distributed from the Pantry door Tuesday and Thursday, 11 am until 1 pm.

Social Services has resumed telephone only (541-772-3828) services Monday through Friday, from 10 am until 2 pm. They will also accept walk-in clients on Tuesday and Thursday to obtain IDs, bus passes, camping gear, furniture vouchers, personal hygiene items, diapers and pet food.

The Urban Rest Stop has re-opened its laundry and shower operations on Tuesday and Friday from 8 am until noon. Clients must check in at a table outside the facility and wait outside for their turn.

The storage locker building is open weekdays from 10 am until 4 pm.

The Family Emergency Shelter is presently closed and no re-opening date has been set.

St. Vincent de Paul - Rogue Valley District Council

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul was founded in France in 1883 to help the poor and destitute of Paris.

The Rogue Valley District Council was established in 1982 to serve the poor and needy in Jackson County. Our all-volunteer staff serve all who come regardless of race, creed, religion or ethnic origin.

We are committed to ensuring that the poor and needy of Jackson County have a safety net of support and encouragement. No work of charity is foreign to St. Vincent de Paul.

Over 270 part-time volunteers provide all staffing and services, providing almost 84,890 volunteer hours in 2018.

S upport for Families and Individuals in Need in 2019

Hot lunches and groceries - 44 volunteers provided 59,000 hot lunches, served Monday through Friday. The pantry supplies bagged groceries on the third and fourth Fridays of each month. We distributed 6,885 sacks of groceries, a 4-day supply in each sack, and 5,500 "no-cook" bags to our homeless clients who lack cooking facilities. We are also members of the Medford Food Project. Our goal is for no one to be without food in Jackson County.

Leading with Vincentian Spirit
From the writings of St. Vincent de Paul

"The streets will be long and unfriendly. The stairs will be steep, and the poor often ungrateful. You will find that charity is a heavy burden to carry - heavier than the bowl of soup, heavier than the full basket, but you will keep your gentleness and your smile.

It is not enough to give bread and soup. This the rest can do. You are the servant of the poor. You are always smiling. You are always good humored. The poor are your masters. You will find them terribly exacting. So the more unjust and insulting they are, the more unattractive they are, the more dirty they are, the more love you must give them. It is for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the crust of bread you give them."

The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul

The Rogue Valley Council of St. Vincent de Paul is dedicated to providing compassionate support to the poor, regardless of race, creed, sex, sexual orientation or ethnic origin. Each Council is locally organized, funded and staffed. Our Council has no financial obligation to any church and no effort is made to preach, convert or proselytize.

We have no paid employees and rely on 300+ volunteers to provide all of our services. We own our own land and buildings, so pay no rent or mortgage. Overhead costs such as insurance, utilities and repairs are paid for from Thrift Store revenues. All donations we receive go directly to helping the needy.

St. Vincent de Paul has been featured in two "Providence Minute" segments starring Fr. Jim Clifford and airing on NBC KOBI5.

SVDP Annual Report for 2019

Society of St.Vincent de Paul

We are dedicated to turning no individual in need away. In addition, we often receive referrals from other community agencies who are unable to help.

Our facilities consist of four buildings on nearly four acres of land:

The Thrift Store sells donated
items to the public and provides free clothing, household necessities and furniture to those in need, using a voucher system.

The main building contains our Emergency Family Shelter, Kitchen, Dining Room, Social Services, Food Pantry, and administrative offices. Attached to this building is the Urban Rest Stop which includes a waiting room, shower and laundry area.

Two warehouse buildings are used to store furniture, food pallets, school supplies, and seasonal items needed for the store.
