"Look not every man on his own things; but every man also on the things of others." Philippians 2:4


 

Our Mission

          Friendship Helping Ministries (FHM) believes that each person is made in the image of God and therefore deserves a friendship or mentorship relationship that accentuates their strengths and potentialities for holistic development as a spiritual, physical, social, psychological, and vocational being.

          Conversely, however, we at FHM realize that there are many youth and adults ages 12-up of various backgrounds who are not obtaining a meaningful opportunity to actualize their holistic development as spiritual, physical, social, psychological, and vocational beings. Much of this lack of actualization is primarily due to a number of complex realities and factors affecting their lives that have left them isolated and/or displaced from the mainstream social and/or economic life.

          At FHM, we believe that a sense of aloneness may move one toward self-destructive tendencies, and certainly, its perennial existence perceived or real - can serve to endanger one's spiritual, physical, social, psychological, and vocational health. However, we believe that helping to restore hope and meaning to isolated and/or troubled lives can be cultivated and realized through committed friendships and/or mentorship relationships. Through such shepherding relationships, FHM believes troubled and/or isolated youth and adults can obtain a sense of hope through refuge; a refuge found in compassionate associations such as those with a committed friend, social worker, tutor, or mentor. We also believe that such committed friendships can help an isolated and/or needy individual experience resurrection in those particular areas of their lives where they may have begun to lose the battle toward optimum health.
