More About Our Impact

  • The people God placed in my life — counselors, mentors, and friends who shared their faith — helped me see that my story wasn’t over. God still had a plan for me.

    Dale

  • The staff and volunteers fed me. Gave to me. Loved me. It was life changing. I needed to know the Christ they knew!

    Antonio

  • I stand here today by the Grace of God.

    Stanley

  • The Mission has helped me stay sober, which was impossible by myself. Being surrounded by men who share the same desire has given me a strength I didn’t know I had.

    Brandon

  • Today, my hope is to continue strengthening my relationship with Jesus, help other men in the program, and continue cooking because I truly love to cook!

    James

  • God has given me grace after grace. Now I want to give back … it is my obligation to give back.
