Got here because the prompt on the phone said open 7 days it's not was met by a very rude male Jon job he was more concerned with his day off than helping someone I was turned away because he said and I quote "this my only off day I'm not helping anyone but my self today" weird response I asked if he knew of any other places I could go he just shut the door the detroit in me was ready to kick this door down but I'm trying to be a better person God bless that man hope his off day is full of rest and comfort losing faith

Questions & Answers

Do you have to attend your church to stay here if I have a different religious practice? Also what time are the wake and out times as well so be back here by a certain time to stay time?

Nichollos Calderon | Nov 5, 2019
Michael Jones | Nov 5, 2019

My question is why in the world would you have somebody come way out here from wherever they're at to ask 5 question Just to tell them no, when you new From the beginning that you didn't have no place are you was just lieing and didn't want that person. Either way it's not good as a Christian organization To waste people time like that who's in desperate need

You need to call or go there to find out. This forum is a consumer site and not the site of the Life Center. God bless and best wishes.

We do not, but the Beacon is a great resource center. They may be able to help, or you can try S.E.A.R.C.H.

I have some baby girl clothes ranging in different sizes and a few size small-medium clothes for women I'm trying to get rid of. I would rather give it to those in need rather than goodwill. Do you guys take clothing donations and give to residents?

Rhianna Frazier | Nov 5, 2019

Our donation hours are from 9-4, 7 days a week. We are located at 4516 Old Yale St. Houston, TX 77018. Thank you in advance for your donation, and God bless.

Can this place help you find employment, and housing?

General Jon N. Wallace | Nov 4, 2021
Idoniboye Bagshaw | Nov 4, 2021

No I don't think so because I have not witnessed such since staying here. Except I am mistaken, I beg your pardon. While you stay here you would have time to go out to other organizations that will assist you with housing and employment.

I need shelter. I'm not your religion. I don't do church. Freedom of religion is a civil right & a private choice. I can't be forced to go to Church, Temple, Sinagogue, or Mosque as a requirement for help. Question: Why plead for my civil right?

Iyaya Ekita | Nov 4, 2021

We do not force or require anyone to attend our Church. Thank you for sharing, and we look forward to meeting with you to discuss your residency in person. Our address is 4516 Old Yale St. Houston, TX 77018. Ask for Joe upon arrival, and you will be notified whether or not you will be given a bed.

Bree Collier | Nov 5, 2019

God love the world that he gave his only son, and Hlhis son taught us adout giving. You give from your heart you sew a seed. In the bible it teaches us that when you give it come back in seven folds and God loves a giver. God always take care of his own. He always make a way out of no way. You just trust in him.

How long can you stay there, do they have programs you can enroll

Freddie Nunez | Nov 5, 2018
Nickolas Morton | Nov 5, 2018

As long as you pay what they call the "Love offering", and don't make trouble, you can stay indefinitely. And No, unfortunately, there are no programs.

Hi, what time it's ok to come by for a interview, I need a place to stay for a week or two

Efren Martinez | Nov 5, 2018
Von Floyd | Nov 5, 2018

Is 7 am good for you? Honestly, I'm not sure if there's a bad time to go, but I'd guess daylight hours are best. If you see a resident outside just ask them to hook you up with Pastor or Jeremy or another staff member. Good luck and blessings to you.

Is it all black

Roxanne Galick | Nov 5, 2018
Von Floyd | Nov 5, 2018

The buildings or the people? The answer is no to both. It's a ministry funded by donations so the buildings are colorful. God made people in a variety of colors, and He doesn't make mistakes. The ministry doesn't care about colors, of buildings or people.
