computer literacy, job placement, healthcare, spiritual development
and housing with Christian love, compassion, and encouragement.
Dear Friends,
I’m very thankful for everyone who has
donated financially, volunteered, donated
personal items, and prayed for this ministry
of reaching the least, the last, and the lost.
I value your compassion and generosity to
help the homeless, hungry, and needy. The
entire month of February is focused on
sharing God’s and your love to people who
often feel unlovable.
We serve thousands of people in great
need each year, but we never lose focus on
the single individual or family who comes
to our Centers. Each person that comes AT&T Sponsored our Thanksgiving Street Outreach

Your continued support helps hopeless

Lucious’ Story
M y name is Lucious. I was a former crack cocaine addict who came to the mission for
help. I thought that I was going to be smoking crack cocaine for the rest of my life.
I came to the mission after I left my home in Jacksonville, Florida. My life had become
completely unmanageable. I heard about the Center for Men and decided to seek help.
At the Mission I received the biblical approach to recovery, and at the Broward Outreach
Center, I received a therapeutic approach to recovery. By combining them both, I saw my life
transformed. I am forever changed as God gave me everything that he promised me.
Some people leaving the program worry about where they are going to stay and how they
are going to survive. But I didn’t, because God provided me the opportunity to live in one
of the permanent houses from the Broward Outreach Center. Everything for me is possible
because the Mission has truly changed my life. One thing I know for sure is that if it wasn’t
for this mission, I truly believe that I wouldn’t have been successful. Today, I feel wonderful, I
feel, like I am giving back to society. I feel God has answered every one of my prayers.
Thank you for helping me have this new life.
