Helping Starts With Showing Up
Our Homeless Kits are a simple way to meet people where they are — with love, with prayer, and with the hope of Jesus.
This isn’t about handing out stuff — it’s about building relationships
At BDMC, we believe ministry doesn’t begin with a microphone or a building. It begins in the streets, in the parks, behind gas stations, and on the cold sidewalks where people are often forgotten.
These kits help open the door to conversation, prayer, and real human connection. Most importantly, they give us the chance to point people to Jesus — not with pressure, but with presence.
Right now, we’re focusing locally — but because homelessness in Beaver Dam is more hidden than visible, we also spend time evangelizing and serving in nearby cities like Madison.

A Note About the Kits
“When you strip away the noise — the weather talk, the small talk — what’s left is the soul. And that’s where Jesus meets us. These kits help start that conversation.”
— Jesse, BDMC Founder
