  • Spiritual Significance of MOHN

    MOHN embodies the incarnational nature of Christ’s ministry—God dwelling among us, not in lofty sanctuaries but in subways and parks. Each onigiri, each bento, each coat handed out is a gesture of Emmanuel: God with us, especially with those society forgets.

    “I was hungry and you gave me food… I was cold and you clothed me.” —Matthew 25:35–36

    This ministry doesn’t just serve the poor—it recognizes Christ in them.

    MOHN is a ministry of presence without pressure. It doesn’t demand conversion or gratitude—it simply shows up. In doing so, it affirms the sacred worth of each person, resisting the cultural tendency to render the homeless invisible.

    This is not charity. It is kinship.
