Lives being changed everyday at Open Door Mission

I have been at Open Door Mission for almost 12 years. From 1999 to 2007, I have the awesome privilege working directly with the many hungry and homeless men, women and children. I was on the front lines and seen God change men, women and children's lives all the time. It was so awesome people everyday realize that God loved the so much HE sent Jesus to die for them.

Since November of 07, I have been working in the administration side of this ministry. There have been days and sometimes weeks that I have not be able to be in the Lydia House or Garland Thompson Men's Center. I did not always get to see first hand what God was doing but I know HE is continuing to changed lives.

Over this past year, I have had a wonderful opportunity to teach a class to the men in the New Life Recovery Program. I have been able to see men that I have known for the last 12 years finally come to know Christ and it has been such an awesome time. This past Wednesday, I walked into class to teach. There were 3 new men that have recently joined the New Life Recovery Program, men that I have never met before and did not know. As class began and I learned about these men and I asked them "what brought you to Open Door Mission and what made you decide to join the New Life Recovery Program". One of the men looked at me and stated "I have tried all these other programs but nothing has helped. I knew your program was centered around Christ and that HE could change my life"

As I left that class the other day and went back to my office I began to be so thankful for the many faithful supports of the Work that God is doing at Open Door Mission.
