For over 20 years, Emmaus Ministries has

worked on the streets of Chicago, reaching out to men in prostitution. Through nightly outreach teams and a daytime Ministry Center, Emmaus staff and volunteers build relationships of trust with these men, working together to help them get off the streets and to cultivate a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ.
