At first glance, a thrift store may seem like just another place to shop for affordable clothing, furniture, or household items. But at Shall Never Thirst Ministries, our Thrift Store is a vital part of our mission. Every donated item and every purchase goes directly to support ministry programs — from sober housing and recovery resources to community outreach and building renovations. This means that when someone buys a shirt, they’re not just saving money; they’re investing

Worship on the Streets: Bringing Church to the Community When Jesus walked the earth, He went where the people were — in villages, on streets, and even in places the religious elite avoided. At Shall Never Thirst Ministries, we follow His example through our Jesus Christ Block Parties. These events are one of the most visible ways we bring the Gospel directly into neighborhoods. We set up right in the heart of communities — often in areas where addiction, poverty, or hopeless

At Shall Never Thirst Ministries, our mission is clear: to bring the healing power of Jesus Christ to those who feel broken, lost, or forgotten. We are a Christ-centered, faith-based recovery ministry dedicated to helping men and women find freedom from addiction, rebuild their lives, and rediscover their purpose in God. Many of those we serve come from painful backgrounds — cycles of addiction, homelessness, incarceration, or trauma. Society often turns away, but Jesus never

In John 6:35, Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.”  This simple but powerful statement is at the core of what we believe at Shall Never Thirst Ministries. All of us, at some point, recognize the emptiness inside — a deep longing for peace, love, and meaning. Some try to fill it with achievements, others with relationships, or sadly, destructive habits. Yet nothing satisfies like Jesus Ch

My name is Roberto Rojas. Two years ago today I was homeless and drug addicted in the streets of Philadelphia, the West Kensington area. Today I have a family and a house, not just a house but a home completely restored in Jesus Christ. There is stability and tranquility not just in my life but in my family's life as well.

My name is Mike K. I am 41 years old I was born and raised in Kensington Philadelphia. As far back as I can remember my life has never been stable or normal. I was born to a 14 year old mother and a 16 year old father. I spent the first few years of my life living with my mother and my grandparents.

Hello my name is Bobby Labarr I am 60 years old. I was born and raised in South Philadelphia. I grew up with my mother, 5 brothers, and 1 sister. I can remember even in my early childhood that alcohol and cigarettes were very prevalent in my home. Growing up I was taken care of by my mother and she showed me love.

My name is John Munch, I’m 59 years old and I’m from South Jersey. I’m writing this to tell my story and show how Shall Never Thirst Ministry and Jesus Christ not only changed my life, but saved my life. As I said earlier I am 59 years old and I’ve been putting some type of substance in my body since I was 14 years old. The last 3 ½ years before coming to Shall Never Thirst it was heroin and cocaine by use of needle. I also had a run with opiates in the early 90’s for about 4

I was able to have peace of mind and regain the confidence I lost long ago. I was able to watch my daughters also recover from add

My name is Daniel and for 18 years of my life I was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Throughout my entire battle with substance abuse I tried to get clean. I followed all the suggestions of the world in how to accomplish this; Rehabs, Psychiatric institutions, AA/NA programs, Sober living houses etc. None of these were able to gain me any significant time sober. The medical physicians diagnosed me with a slew of conditions including Bipolar, PTSD, Manic Depression and prescribe

Thank you Lord Jesus for breaking my chains and saving me from the bondage of sin. I grew up in a family where drugs and alcohol was accepted and at points a normal thing you do to function. My mother and my father were both addicted to drugs and my life as a kid resulted with crime and bad behavior. I never experienced the love that Jesus shows me and I looked for anything that would fill the void. At eight years old I was taking away from my mother by the state and at thirt

When I was growing up I seen what drugs did to people. This disease ran in my family and I always said that would never be me and boy was I wrong. At the age of 13 I began to drink heavily. By the age of 15 I was smoking marijuana and by the age of 18 I began to use drugs. I did everything and anything I could get my hands on. I enjoyed that feeling drugs gave me like no one or nothing can touch me. My feelings and emotions did not exist. The drug took over my life and I thou
