His story traveled through me t...o fight the hopelessness of another man. All I did was listen and walk, wait and share."
It all started on a lonely night in Boystown. On that night, a young college student looking to do some good was getting a tour of the area he'd be patrolling as a volunteer...

Two years ago a young woman named Shel served as one of our summer interns. During her time here, she wrote a letter to friends, explaining what it was that she was doing, and what Emmaus was all about. In that letter, she told how she heard about Emmaus Ministries...
