Good Friday

GOOD FRIDAY BREAKFAST On April 7th, 2023, Gospel Rescue Mission had the privilege of joining local business and community leaders for the Good Friday Breakfast—an annual tradition since 1999. The breakfast was a time of fellowship and prayer in which we focused on the foundations of our faith—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection—and our unique response to the grace we received—reminding us to stand firm in our faith during these challenging times.

New Life

Robert For over 15 months, Robert has stayed clean and sober in our Recovery Program, learning recovery and life skills while growing stronger in his relationship with the Lord. And not too long ago, he shared his story with us on our Homeless to Wholeness podcast. After his wife, Irene Melanie May, was murdered in 1988, Robert fell into heavy methamphetamine use. He was lost in his addiction for decades.

Legacy of Wholeness

Celebrating 70 years of miraculous transformations Gospel Rescue Mission has been a beacon of hope in our community for the past 70 years.  A recent report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reveals a concerning 23.4% surge in homelessness in Arizona, with 13,553 people struggling to find shelter each night.

Phil’s Testimony
