I don’t know about you but with the end of 2013 looming right around the corner I find myself reflecting on all that has happened in the last 12 months and I must say that it has been nothing short of amazing both for me personally and for Union Rescue Mission and the people we serve.
For example just this week I received a note from a grateful father whose long lost son was found on Skid Row by two of our teammates here at URM and returned home. This morning, I was brought to tears as a co-worker shared how he has been taking breakfast each morning to a very troubled, dangerous man living on the sidewalk right outside our building, hoping and praying that this man will sense God’s love through our staff member and take the opportunity to come inside and receive the help he needs to turn his life around.
