“I am involved with the Mission because not only do they provide safe shelter and warm meals to the hurting and homeless in our community, but they also work to rebuild lives by offering counseling, education assistance, and most importantly, sharing the redeeming power of the love of Christ. It is an honor to serve at an organization that exemplifies the hope of being made new in Christ’s love (Corinthians 5:17).”
