My Story…
Yes, it is that time of the year where I am seeking support for my run for Evangel Hall Mission. Where did the year go! It is amazing how quickly time has passed, but not our memories and experiences. And for me, many of my memories are how Evangel Hall Mission attempted once again to do its very best. And for me, this past year has been interesting.
Unfortunately, our takeout line has grown even longer, with more people in the drop-in center and new faces constantly appearing and staying. We are now providing most days more than 200 meals a day, and operating six days a week. Times and services have expanded, and so have the needs of the many.
I still believe that Evangel Hall Mission is a great place for the people on the streets, the homeless, the not so well off, and more recently the refugees to gather and receive a meal or two and allow them the opportunity to talk to someone if they wish. I believe that loneliness is a significant factor in our broad society and by having a place like Evangel Hall Mission allows people who are homeless or socially isolated to find a safe and caring haven. We offer material, emotional, and spiritual support to help break the bonds of loneliness and despair. Today, everybody is welcomed into our community with smiles, open ears and kind words.
Jesus said, "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
