1 DONOR ... 1 GIFT ... 1 LIFE CHANGED

mike nottleWhen Mike came to Springfield to find work, he also picked up a new habit - drinking. "I don't really know what triggered it," he says, but it quickly took a toll on his life. He lost his job and his apartment. He had nowhere to go and no family to turn to.

Facing homelessness, he called Springfield Victory Mission and was relieved to find a place to stay at our Victory Square men's shelter. "I was so fed up with my drinking and I knew I had to quit. I asked God to help me and He did," he says.

That help came through our 12/12 Recovery Program. It not only helped Mike end his drinking, but also led him closer to God. He completed the program and now works in the Mission's maintenance department. He continues to live at the Square, while he saves up for his own place.

When you look at Mike now, you'd hardly recognize him as the lost and hurting soul he used to be. His smile ... his confidence ... his giving spirit - they've all been renewed! All because one donor gave one gift to change one life.

Please say, "I'll be the one!" today by making a gift. Your contribution, when combined with those of other friends, will allow the Mission to provide food, shelter, clothing and other Christ-centered programs for hundreds of struggling individuals and families in the Ozarks every year.
