A New Vision for the New Year

Jay A. Cory is taking up the torch

and providing solutions at Phoenix Rescue Mission

 

Recently, we honored Jerry Sandvig for more than 12 years of service as President
and CEO of Phoenix Rescue Mission. It was a blessing to hear of the growth of
PRM and the testimonies of transformed lives. I want you to
know that it is with great humility and gratitude that I follow in his
footsteps as the new President/CEO of Phoenix Rescue Mission.

I have been involved in Christ-centered rescue and recovery work for over 25
years. From this experience, I know that changing lives requires a greater
commitment to solving problems that contribute to homelessness. We will
continue to meet the practical needs of people here at the Mission, but our
target outcome will be to produce healthy, vibrant Christians who are able to
sustain themselves.

I envision providing a full continuum of care for men, women and children
consisting of Reach,Rescue, Recovery and Re-entry.

Our Reach programs will attract homeless individuals and offer prevention solutions. Our Rescue shelters will
meet basic needs but also provide assessment and placement. Our Recovery programs will
provide pathways for gaining victory over the effects of addiction, domestic
violence and other life-controlling problems. Our Re-entry Program will
provide transitional housing to help clients grow into independence.

Please help us with your prayers and financial support as we enter into this next
season at Phoenix Rescue Mission. The fields are ripe for the harvest, and we
need your help. Thank you for partnering with us in this great work!

Blessings,

Jay A. Cory

President & CEO

With Hearts Full of Thanks

Thanksgiving is an exciting and busy time! As we gear up for one of our most eventful days of the year at the Mission, we wanted to stop and say thank you for all of your support this month. This hymn of thanks accurately expresses our gratitude:

My God, I thank Thee, who hast made
The earth so bright,
So full of splendor and of joy,
Beauty and light;
So many glorious things are here,
Noble and right.

I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made
Joy to abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round,
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.

—Adelaide A. Procter

We wish you many blessings as you share this Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones. Thank you again for your faithful support!

Sincerely,

Jay A. Cory

President & CEO
