Join us for an evening of hope, vision, and community at the Elgin Wayside Center Banquet – “Building Tomorrow Together”. As we prepare to open our new facility, this special night will highlight how lives are being transformed today and how, together, we can build a brighter tomorrow for our neighbors in need. Come be inspired, connect with others who care, and play a vital part in shaping the future of Elgin.
Your support provides the homeless and under resourced with meals, showers, laundry, pastoral care and the support they need to move forward in life.

About our Keynote Speaker:
Manny Mill is a Cuban-born evangelist whose life was radically transformed after encountering Christ while fleeing from the FBI in 1986. Following nearly two years in federal prison, he earned degrees from Wheaton College, was ordained in 1991, and went on to found Koinonia House® National Ministries, a nationwide network that equips churches to welcome and disciple returning Christian inmates. Through preaching, teaching, mentoring, and initiatives like the Meet Me at the Gate™ program, Manny has become a leading voice in post-prison ministry. He is also the author of Radical Redemption and Radical Prayer, and his testimony has been shared worldwide through books, radio, television, and international ministry. Today, he continues to serve as Executive Director of KHNM, ministering alongside his wife Barbara and inspiring thousands with his story of redemption, prayer, and hope.
