Many of the men who come to the Mission haven’t stayed in any one place all that long.  They’ve spent years of their lives running – running from problems, from pain, from the things that frighten them, from responsibility, from family and friends, from God, from themselves.  In the end, they’re never really able to get away from it all.

Tired and frustrated, they come to the Mission where they are invited to stop running from everything and, finding a true and refreshing rest in God, run with renewed strength to the One who forgives, heals and restores.

Your support  allows men to stop running and gives them a chance to breathe.  By partnering with the Mission, you’re helping men turn and face their problems head-on with the Lord’s help and the loving support of the Mission community.

As men hear and embrace the hope of the Gospel and what it means for them, they are staying put and tackling their problems one by one.  Listen to the impact you are having firsthand as men in the New Life Program share what God is doing in their lives through the Mission.

“Who knows – maybe  just walking the streets.  I would still be drinking my life away.”  Albert

“I would be in despair.”  Rodney

“I would probably be a homeless, jobless alcoholic.  I would never have graduated from Home Health Training School, and I wouldn’t be an assistant physical therapist now.”  John

Staying at the Mission is hard work.  What keeps you here?

“I stay here at the Mission to use the opportunities to make my life better (like working on job-readiness and educational skills) and to become the man God created me to be – to find my purpose.”  Lyndon

“It beats where I came from and where I was going.  God is using the Mission in my life to restore me and place me on a better path.”  Wiljen

“I found hope here when hope seemed gone.  Being here is allowing me time to think, to hear God’s Word, and stop making bad decisions.”  Rodney

“The Mission is a place I can call home.”  Alex

“I stay because God is good, and he’s doing great things in my life.  God has me here for a reason.  I have to finish what I started.”  Joey
