Melissa’s dread of working on Christmas morning evaporated as she realized they were all family. Even though she loves the women and children guest residents,
Julia* has been in jail during several recent Christmases, and it was certainly NOT the “most wonderful time of the year” for her. Upon her release, she had nowhere to go and found herself homeless.
Roger’s relationship with his family was in tatters because of his addictive behavior before coming to the Mission. However, he still reached out to his daughter to ask what she wanted for Christmas.
Carol coordinates the programs at Faith House, working with residents to help them develop skills for independence. Carol also runs Crossed Bridges with her husband Jonathan. She enjoys playing any sport with a ball, crocheting, bike riding, and spending time with her husband and five children.
“He who loves God must love his brother also.” (1 John 4:21) explains what wakes Carol up in the morning to begin a new day; being able to serve the Lord while working with people, whether it be administratively or relationally. She loves hearing the testimonies of how Jesus has changed people’s lives, especially because He’s done so much for her!
