MATTHEW 25:35
“I was hungry,you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty,you gave me something to drink,I was a stranger,you invited me in.”
“I was hungry,you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty,you gave me something to drink,I was a stranger,you invited me in.”
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are reminded of His humble beginning—a baby born in a manger because there was no room for Him in the inn. Though He came to bring light and salvation to the world, there was no safe place for Him to rest that night.
This year, you can be part of something incredible! By supporting our mission, you are not just giving someone a bed for the night—you are offering the gift of transformation, renewal, and hope through God’s love. Your donation will provide shelter, warm meals, clothing, and spiritual care to those in need.
Iziah came to Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission seeking shelter, struggling to find stability and hope after a series of hardships. Through the support and guidance he found here, he joined our Shepherd’s Program, where he discovered not only a renewed sense of purpose but also a path to lasting change. Over time, Iziah’s dedication and commitment to his personal growth inspired both staff and residents alike. Today, he’s a vital member of our resident housing team, serving others with the same compassion and care he once received. His story is a powerful testament to transformation and the impact of faith and community in rebuilding lives.
As we close out the year, we ask for your support to help us continue being "A Safe Place to Land" for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. Through your generosity, for only $27.42 a day per guest, we offer more than shelter; we provide meals, clothing, emotional support, and most importantly, the message of Christ's love and redemption! Your gifts help us transform lives, offering those in need a chance to experience renewal, just as Jesus came to renew the world.
Would you prayerfully consider making a year-end gift above your current commitment as we lean into 2025? Together, we can ensure that everyone in need finds a place where they are welcomed, cared for, and loved.
In Christ,
Bonnie Fry Mahnke
