  • 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.
