    From the Director ~ October 2018

    Dear Friend of the Mission, Your support of the Mission is an investment in the lives of our men. And as our men move from being unemployed and homeless to working and living independently in their own place, they in turn become productive, contributing members of our community who strengthen the very fabric of…

    From the Director ~ September 2018

    Dear Friend of the Mission, Each of our men comes from a family. When we deal with homeless individuals, it is easy to forget that our men are not islands unto themselves, but rather they are in fact sons and fathers, brothers and cousins, husbands, nephews, uncles, grandfathers and grandsons. This month’s true-story highlight…

    Urgent Financial Need

    We need your prayers and any help you can give. We just found out that an $86,500 foundation grant we were actually awarded isn’t going to be coming anytime soon, if at all. This is no one’s fault – please see this letter for an explanation of what happened. We’ve also had some other…

    From the Director ~ August 2018

    Dear Friend of the Mission, We need your prayers and your help at this time to keep doing all that we do to restore homeless men to society as productive, contributing members of our community.

    From the Director ~ May 2018

    Dear Friend of the Mission, In the Bible we read these sobering words, “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate…For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what…

  • From the Director ~ April 2018

    Dear Friend of the Mission, It is amazing how time flies!  On Monday, February 19, 2018, I celebrated my 29th anniversary of working at the Whosoever Gospel Mission.  During my tenure at the Mission, we have had the privilege of ministering to thousands of homeless men.  It is always a joy to be traveling…

  • From the Director ~ Christmas 2017

    Dear Friend of the Mission, When you are homeless, there is no peace or joy living on the harsh streets of Philadelphia. There is only chaos, danger and strife. There are no halls to deck with boughs of holly, or Christmas trees to decorate. Ironically, for a person experiencing homelessness, the festive decorations and…

  • From the Director ~ Thanksgiving 2017

    Dear Friend of the Mission, Homelessness, drugs and alcohol really beat up the men who come to the Whosoever Gospel Mission. When a man first arrives at the Mission, he looks like he is carrying the weight of the whole world upon his shoulders. He is hungry, tired, depressed and downcast. Quite often his…
