Forgotten Ministries
Forgotten Ministries was developed in Enid, Oklahoma in 2009 by Jeremiah & Sarah
Herrian . Enid was a very unlikely place to start a homeless ministry however the needs
were evident once we decided to look deeper into the desperation and depravity of this
small town. Sarah is originally from Los Angeles, California and Jeremiah from a small town
in Oklahoma. They met on the mission field and soon felt led to lead in ways only God could
provide. They started on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles and followed
Gods leading to Enid, Oklahoma. Serving together they soon realized God had a desire for
them to lead in full time missions. This sparked a joy in their hearts to be the hands & feet of
Jesus wherever they went. The ministry started as a small mobile ministry taking clothing,
food, worship, teaching, and providing home renovations to those that needed it the most.
Forgotten Ministries has exploded with opportunities for our community and the
communities around us to serve and love on the broken.
Right now, Forgotten Ministries consists of an Emergency Homeless Shelter, Men and
Women Transitional Housing, Weekly Programs for Kids, Mission
Trips, and extensive community outreach opportunities.
We rely solely on our partners in ministry and prayerfully ask God to bring workers and
support along this journey. Please be praying on how you can partner and start on this
journey to loving those that God is desperately pursuing.
