“Joy to the World,” exclaims our celebration of God’s gift of His son, who came into the world to bring us hope and salvation. In this season of gratitude and giving, your generous gifts to the Rescue Mission are giving hope and dramatically changing lives.

Recently, the men in the Mission’s Hope for Men program prepared an incredible feast to thank the teachers and volunteers who have helped transform their lives. It was a blessing to hear some of the men share their own stories and to experience with them the beautiful change in their lives.

Some of the men had also invited family members to come and enjoy the gourmet meal. Seeing men share special moments together, with their families gave evidence of God’s love which keeps radiating out to men, women, and families who so desperately need that love.

It is God’s love expressed through your prayers and your gifts that make all this possible. In this Christmas season, the Rescue Mission thanks you for sharing God’s blessing with those who need it most!
