Dear Friend of the Mission,

“Last year I was homeless and living on the streets during Christmas.”

“I had the best Christmas ever spending it with my teenage daughters who have invited me to be part of their lives after years of being an absent father.”

 “I have been in prison for 8 of my last 10 Christmases.  This Christmas my family told me that I am a new man, far different than the man that I used to be – I think differently, I speak differently, I act differently…it is all because of what the Lord is doing in my life through the Mission.”

 “The Mission doesn’t have to do to all that it does for us – new toys for our kids, Christmas presents for us, special meals and really good food that always fills me up.  Other programs for the homeless just take from us – the Mission isn’t like that – the Mission gives and does all sorts of extra things for us that it doesn’t have to do.” 

 “Last Christmas I was full of hopelessness, but now I am full of hope.”

     These are just a few of the heartfelt testimonies and encouraging words of thanks shared by our men this past Christmas.   Thank you for your partnership in making the Mission a special place for our men, not just at Christmas but throughout the entire year.  Your support truly does make a difference in the lives of our men 365 days a year.

As we begin a new year of rebuilding broken and hurting lives, thank you for your continued friendship and support.   Your kind and generous financial support is a life-changing investment in the lives of our men.  And as God changes our men, our men benefit, their children benefit, their churches benefit and society benefits as our men live out a brand new life filled with hope and purpose.

Thank you for caring and sharing so abundantly.

Many blessings in 2012,
