Dear Friends,
In our chapels, we often have a testimony time in which our men publicly share what the Lord is doing in their lives. This is always one of my favorite times. I can be tired and weary from a busy and challenging week, and then I get refreshed and renewed when our men remind me of the wonderful things the Lord is doing in and through the Whosoever Gospel Mission. Testimonies that I especially enjoy are ones in which our men describe the Mission. Because of the hard times and challenges they have gone through, our men have a unique perspective on the Mission. They describe the Mission in terms of how the Lord has used the Mission to change, touch and bless their lives. Here are some heartfelt descriptions I’ve heard:
- The Mission really has great food – better than any homeless shelter in the City.
- The Mission gives me everything I need to be successful.
- The Mission is the place where I came to know the Lord.
- The Mission is a good place filled with people who really care about me.
- The Mission helped to bring my family back into my life.
- I would be dead if I didn’t come to the Mission.
- I never thought that I could learn to use a computer – the Mission taught me how.
- The Mission is helping me to improve my education and get my GED.
- The Mission made it possible for me to go to school and learn a good job skill.
- God used the Mission to bring my wife and me back together.
- I came to the Mission right from prison – it is the best place I could have come to.
- I thank God for giving me a second chance by opening up a bed at the Mission.
- I am no longer homeless – the Mission is my home and my family.
Your kind and generous gifts make all of these good things possible. As we enter the summer months when our gift income usually decreases, please continue to invest in the lives of the 55 homeless men living at the Mission. Your support does make a difference. Thanks!
Working together with you,
