Stories of Change

The homeless and hurting depend on Fairhaven to meet their physical and spiritual needs … many have no one else. They come here looking for a helping hand and a loving heart – someone to care. We hope these testimonies from our guests will show you how the Lord is working every day in His ministry.

“I’m thankful to the mission that got my life back. The mission will help you if you give it a chance.”

David

“Before coming to the mission, I was homeless without a whole lot of hope. After I left, I now live, stay in independent living, have a job, and a lot more stability. There’s always gonna be room for improvement, but I’m doing a lot better. They provided the stability I needed to be able to start rebuilding my life. I’m thankful to the mission because their graciousness and stability that they do provide.”

Eric

“Since coming to the Mission I am a better person. I have a closer relationship with God, and I just feel like my life in whole is better. Fairhaven has been a godsend to me. I don’t have all the weight on my shoulders that I had before coming here. I am thankful to the Mission because they have supported me and helped me along my journey.”

Dorothy

“I realized that there was a lot of things that I not only needed to forgive others for, but I needed to repent and ask forgiveness of myself. I’ve just seen the goodness of this place and how it would actually benefit for me to stay here because it helped me find Christ again.”

Gabe

“I’m just thankful for all the love and care that we’ve received over the years.”

Tammy

“You don’t ever see anybody else around doing anything like this Mission does.”

Carole

“I learned a lot about the Lord Jesus Christ. The Mission has impacted my life a lot because now I go to church regularly. I read the Bible also with my great-grandchildren and my grandchildren. I found a whole new meaning in Lord Jesus Christ. I made a lot of good relationships here at Fairhaven.”

Darlene

“They show love here. You know, show responsibility and love and it’s a good team. It’s a team effort when you’re here. I’m thankful to the mission because of the brotherhood and the love they give.”

Jayden

“I’m thankful to the mission because they gave me a brighter outlook on life. I don’t feel like I’m alone in this fight anymore. I hope people will support the mission because it’s a wonderful thing to do, it helps the homeless get a hot meal, and it’s a place to go to get off of the street.”

Barbara

“If anything’s gonna help me, it’s gonna be the Lord’s word, because that alone right there drew me in more than the food or the bed. I’ve learned to be a lot more patient and less worried on the things that I really have no control over. It’s helped me to realize that not everything is in my control. I have to be willing to, you know, give it to God.”

Steven

“Before coming to the mission I was lost. Now after coming to the, to the mission I’m found. God is there looking over you and, that’s just a lot of weight off your shoulders, you know? I keep working towards bettering myself, following God’s plan, and all of that. I will hope people will support the mission because, honestly, a lot people do need help. This place has been helpful and I want other people to be helped.”

Aaron

“I see myself as not being so judgmental towards others and more endearing. I’m thankful for Fairhaven because, you know, when things went wrong in my past and my health failed me, they were here for me and they’ve provided for me, not only in the physical sense but spiritually and that’s the blessing. Not only am I getting fed, but I’m also getting fed spiritually as well.”

Carl

“I feel like this is where I need to be. I’m thankful for Fairhaven because they provided me with shelter and help that I needed. I hope people would support Fairhaven because you can trust these people, they’re helpful, everybody here keeps a smile on their face, too.”

Gerald

“Before I came to Fairhaven, my spirit life wasn’t quite as what it is now. But now it’s even better than what it was. I know what God can do for you because of what he’s done for me. I got a personal relationship. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have God on my side.”

Dear Donors,

We trust in the Lord and His plans for Fairhaven. I want you to remember that you are a part of that. You serve a role in the spreading of God’s Kingdom to our neighbors who desperately need to experience the Love of Jesus.

We celebrate the story of Easter this month, but its Truth is seen and felt throughout every day of our lives. We owe everything to our Savior, and we honor Him by doing what we can to lend a hand to those in need.

Thank you for serving alongside us as the Hands and Feet of Jesus. Together, we’re not only using our time, treasures, and talents to foster real change in the lives of those who are struggling, but we’re also loving our neighbors as ourselves – one of the two greatest commandments.

***

The homeless and hungry depend on Fairhaven to meet their physical and spiritual needs. They come to us looking for someone to care—someone to lend a hand—as many of them have no one else. It’s because of your faithful contributions that we are able to successfully provide these needs and share the message of Jesus.

We give the glory to God for all He has done to serve and guide this mission. And despite any challenges we may face, we are still continually able to nourish and minister wounded souls with the help of friends like you.

We are grateful that the Lord continues to bless and provide for Fairhaven Rescue Mission. May He bless you and your family!

Happy Easter!

Alan Johnson

Executive Director
