The Rescue Mission

Charis House mother sees a bright future thanks to her time at Charis House.

Recently, I had the privilege of receiving three young men at The Rescue Mission who had just completed serving time in an Indiana prison.  One in particular made an impact on me.  He had burned all his bridges and no longer had family or friends to give him a “push start” in life.

The snow just kept falling, the winds were picking up and my car was swerving out of control.  Those out of control feelings were compounded by fear. That horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach when there’s nothing you can do. 

Christmas has come and gone. For many this was a welcomed and joyous day. For Jaimie and Joseph, it was another day with the same concerns of finding a place, food and hope.

The holiday season is upon us and the world continues to move about with its regular routine.  Many are shopping, some are grieving and some are just plain surviving. 

Thanks for giving us the strength and resources to empower and encourage many who are now dealing with the crisis of homelessness for the first time.
