From the Director ~ Merry Christmas!
Dear Friend of the Mission, “There’s no place like home for the holidays!” That is so true, but for many of our men, they will not be home for the holidays – instead they will be at the Whosoever Gospel Mission – not a bad place, but not their true home. However, we work…

From the Director ~ Thanksgiving 2015
Dear Friend of the Mission, We work hard to help our men rebuild broken relationships with their families. It is always a real joy and a reason to celebrate when one of our men tells us with a big smile that he will be spending Thanksgiving Day with his family. But sadly, there will…

From the Director ~ September 2015
Dear Friend of the Mission, Even though I have served at the Mission for over 26 years, I still am excited and enthusiastic about our ministry to homeless men. While many aspects of the ministry are the same day after day, month after month and even year after year, what keeps our ministry to…

From the Director ~ April 2015
Dear Friend of the Mission, I often tell people that it would be great if there was no longer any need for the ministry of the Whosoever Gospel Mission. It would be wonderful if no one was homeless, if everyone had a good job, if everyone received a good education, if urban blight and…

From the Director ~ March 2015
Dear Friend of the Mission, Homeless men usually feel pretty hopeless. They’ve been told that they need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but then they discover they have no bootstraps!
