To say that Cora has had a rough life is an understatement. Just a few years ago, she was penniless, homeless, and caring for a six-month-old, all at the same time.

So much of Gospel Rescue Mission’s success in transforming lives stems from the fact that much of the staff can identify, one way or another, with the struggles of the men, women, and children we serve. Victor Hightower, our Development Manager, is no exception.

For the homeless and hurting we serve, it’s not enough to break the chains of addiction, to introduce someone to a relationship that leads to transformation, or to help untangle lives from the legal obligations picked up along the way. Even after all those monumental things have been accomplished, one more still remains: Living!
