A Mission of Hope in Santa Ana

Michaela Ministries, a faith-based nonprofit founded in Santa Ana in 2022, is dedicated to the "Healing the Brokenhearted" project within our homeless community who struggle with addiction. Every week, our outreach program offers a lifeline to over 200 individuals. We provide essential needs like food, hygiene kits, clothing, and vital supplies, including the life-saving medication Narcan. But we offer something even more critical: hope and dignity.

More Than Just Supplies

We understand that addiction and homelessness are complex challenges. At the heart of our ministry, we walk alongside individuals, building one-on-one relationships, praying together for freedom from addiction, and pointing them towards the way of healing and restoration with Jesus Christ

Working Together for Change

Collaborating with the City of Santa Ana's social services network is crucial to connect individuals with immediate access to shelters, detox programs, and recovery resources. Partnerships with essential organizations like Mary's Kitchen, the Salvation Army, and The Purpose of Recovery are vital to our mission, enabling us to nourish bodies, offer pathways out of homelessness and addiction, and bring hope and healing to those who often feel lost and forgotten.

Our Urgent Need

Right now, our ministry faces a critical challenge. Our reliable way to reach those most vulnerable in our community is at risk. The ministry’s only vehicle—a 2007 Dodge Nitro SUV—is out of commission and in urgent need of a rebuilt engine, which costs $2900.

Help Us Keep Hope Rolling

Without reliable transportation, our ability to reach those most vulnerable in our community is severely impacted. The ministry has not missed serving a week in nearly two years thanks to generous friends who are helping with transportstion and supplies but its not a long term solution. We humbly ask for your support.

How You Can Make a Difference

A donation toward the engine repair or the gift of a reliable van or SUV, would be an immense blessing. Also, perhaps you may know someone who might be able to help. Your generosity will directly enable us to continue our vital work of serving and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.

Please consider partnering with us today in this vital mission. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those unhoused.

Since Novemver 2023, we have:

• 45 salvations

• 10 deliverances

• 20 have gone to rehab or detox(2 more just added)

• Many we've served are no longer on the streets and we hope they've found stability.

Thank you for your compassion and support!
