In 1985, Bruce Day and Larry Becker were among the group that had a heart to reach out and minister to the lost in downtown Winnipeg. From using old campers and RVs to various sizes of school buses; and then on to different construction trailers that sat on the block of Henry Avenue and Martha Street – the mission has remained the same over 40 years. We arrived in 2025, celebrating and remembering how God was and is continuing to work in this ministry, culminating in our 40th Anniversary Banquet in November of 2025, and reminiscing with team members from then until now.

Greetings from the board of Love Lives Here and welcome to 2024! Much has changed since our last newsletter. We elected a new mayor in Winnipeg, as well as a new premier to lead our province. There are more vehicles on the road, and more roadwork and construction in every neighbourhood in the city. But one thing hasn't changed, and that is the brokenness and lost in our city, and commitment of Love Lives Here to redeem them. Every Tuesday night, faithful servants pour their hearts to the visitors that come to the trailer; through music, the gift of prayer, testimonies, and food preparation. Our volunteers have a common desire to show the love of Jesus Christ to all who come to the trailer. They have been called to share Christ and that is what happens every week at the trailer and Friday evenings in the summer out on Main Street.
