Michael: Finding hope, healing, and a better future!

With Christmas around the corner—when hunger and hurt are felt most deeply—and the nighttime temperatures falling, our community’s most vulnerable are in harm’s way.

Especially neighbors in need who find themselves on the streets, hungry, hurting, and fighting illness like Michael’s devastating depression. “I was at the hospital when I called Haven of Rest and heard, ‘we have a bed for you. Just come over.’”

Michael stepped through our doors to find a meal, help—and hope in Christ. “I feel like He’s teaching me at The Haven how to do everything on my own!” he says gratefully.

And it’s for lives on the line like his that Haven of Rest is making a difference that matters with wholesome food, safe shelter, Bible teaching & mentorship, life skills training, education, and job preparation this winter.

Danny Walker, Chairman of the Board of Haven of Rest, says, “This is a chance to be a light for another life like Michael’s. That’s why we’re thanking God for local friends who give generously during this special season of intense need.”

Your support of Haven of Rest is saving and changing lives. It all starts with a meal!
