I can never thank you enough for your commitment to
fight poverty in our community through Victory Mission. Your gifts have encouraged me as we
have seen so many come to us searching for help…searching for a new way to
live…and finding the life-changing power of Jesus Christ, just like John.
At the age of 10 John began using alcohol, followed
by drugs at 14. As a result of his
substance abuse, John was arrested over 100 times, received over 30 convictions
and spent 17 years in prison. John
explains, “My last arrest led me through 25 jails in 30 months. Crime is the only way a drug addict can
support his habit.”
John accepted Jesus Christ in May of 2006 and is a
recent graduate of our PREP School.
He now works full-time at Teen Challenge and helps others fighting from
a life of addiction.
Here at Victory Mission we are ALL about the business
of God changing lives. We provide
food, clothing, school supplies, luncheons, shelter, classes, training,
assistance, chapel, counseling and so much more; and watch as God uses all of
these tools to change the lives of those who come to us so desperate for
change.
Your gift today will allow our staff and volunteers
to continue to meet the needs of men, women and children, so that the poor in
our community may know the HOPE and JOY of a changed life through Jesus
Christ. May God bless you as
together we make a difference in the lives of the needy right here in the
Ozarks.
For the least, last and lost,
Rev. James M. Harriger, Executive Director
