Growing homeless population haunts mission chief
Mission official Laments His Growing Flock. Burger, 51, executive director of the International Union of Gospel Missions, says America's homeless are rising and younger, spread across the nation. The organization shelters about 22,000 nightly and runs rehab, job training, and medical aid as a last-ditch safety net. Burger cites economic shifts, family breakdowns, and policies as drivers, and emphasizes walking with the abused and abandoned, not just preaching. He traces his calling to a 17-year-old pledge and a 33-year career across Saint Paul, New Castle, York, and Seattle before leading the national effort.
