At Be Ministries, we believe that God has created each person with a unique and special purpose. Through humble submission to Him, we can experience the fullness of His plan.
Our men’s shelter in Marion, Ohio, offers housing, guidance, and prayer to homeless men — including those with felony convictions — providing a safe and supportive community where they can rebuild their lives and discover their purpose in Christ.
For over 21 years, we have faithfully served the men of our community, beginning with our first shelter on State Street, then moving to Main Street, and now serving from our current location on Prospect Street. Throughout these years, our mission has remained the same: to provide emergency housing for men in need. And as long as God provides, we will continue to stand in the gap for those He sends our way.
Who We Are
Our Vision
Restoring Lives, One Home at a Time
We believe God can restore anyone, and we are committed to building safe, supportive homes for men, women, and families in need throughout our community.
Unfortunately, with new laws limiting residential homes to 5 persons, we now have to expand our shelters with more units — making these fundraising goals more important than ever.
​
​
​
Phase One – Goal: $80,000
Help us build a new shelter on our current property that will house 5 homeless men at a time — offering refuge, restoration, and a fresh start.
​
​
​
Phase Two – Goal: $100,000
We plan to purchase additional lots and construct permanent housing for women and children who are in need of safety and hope.
​Our goal is to create a network of safe, supportive housing within our community. Over time, we plan to purchase 5–10 lots and develop a variety of shelters designed to meet specific needs — including men’s shelters, women’s shelters, and family shelters.
Together, these spaces will provide not only a roof, but also a path toward stability, dignity, and hope for those experiencing homelessness.​
Long Term Vision
Sponsorship Opportunities
Building Hope. Changing Lives
For over 20 years, Be Ministries has invested in providing safe shelter and compassionate care for the homeless in our community. More than one-third of our annual budget supports these efforts — totaling over $1 million in monetary and volunteer support toward shelter upkeep and management.
Now, we’re preparing for the future:
Capital improvements to strengthen our existing facilities
New shelter construction to expand our reach and impact
We are seeking community partners to help make this vision a reality.
