Mission of Yahweh Annual Miracles of the Mission Luncheon

The Mission of Yahweh, a faith-based shelter that empowers, enriches, and restores the lives of homeless women and children, will host the Annual Miracles of the Mission luncheon on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. at the Junior League of Houston.

The luncheon will feature Bob Hopkins, the celebrated author of his recent release Philanthropy Understood, a follow up to his first book Philanthropy Misunderstood.

Hopkins has served a multitude of nonprofits and non-governmental organizations, aiding in their strategic planning processes and the execution of their missions. Hopkins also created the Philanthropy and Volunteerism in Education (PAVE) program, which teaches children ages 7 to 12 how to serve their communities and how to become volunteers.

Hopkins will host a book signing following the lunch program with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Mission of Yahweh. His new book features 100 stories from philanthropists sharing their expertise to help readers define what philanthropy means.

For more than 60 years, the Mission of Yahweh has focused on restoring hope, transforming lives, and worked tirelessly toward ending homelessness in Houston. Since 1961, the Mission has helped thousands of women and children by providing emergency shelter in a nurturing faith-based environment while providing programs and support to help them become more independent and lead productive, successful lives. In addition, the Mission provides outreach services to communities in need in the neighborhoods surrounding their campus.
