A Message from Jay Cory, President and CEO
Easter is a celebration of new life, new beginnings. It’s a day when we recognize that we have all been given a second chance, an opportunity to shed our past and change the future we have set before us. It’s a holiday that holds special significance for us here at the Mission because it epitomizes the life transformation we see every day – which is why we love to share stories like Bob’s on page 1.
But new beginnings don’t stop there. It’s also a new season here at the Mission. There are exciting changes coming up this year – new programs and new events that I can’t wait to unveil. In addition, this May marks our 60th anniversary – 60 years of witnessing powerful life-changing transformation!
Help us celebrate this milestone by sharing any fond memories or favorite stories you have of the Mission. Maybe your church group served a meal and you were touched by the gratitude of our clients. Or perhaps you have a family member or friend whose life was changed here. You can write your memory on the enclosed reply form, or email them to us at prm@phoenixrescuemission.org by April 30th. And don’t forget to include any photos you may have! I’ll include the best ones in our special 60th anniversary issue in May, so make sure you don’t miss it!
Thank you so much for continuing to support the redeeming, life-changing work we do here at Phoenix Rescue Mission. And a special thank you to all our volunteers, people like Bob Alexander from page 4 whose Silverfalls Crew serves once a month in our dining hall. We couldn’t do it without you.
I wish you all a wonderful Easter! And remember, keep the main thing, the main thing.
Jay A. Cory
Please take a look inside your PRM March issue of Inspire, where you’ll find the following stories and more…
Bob was a man at the end of his rope. He had lost everything that was dear to him, his wife, his daughter, his job and now his home. But fortunately, something down deep told him to hang on, to give it one more chance. So, weary but determined, he picked up the two black trash bags that contained everything he had left and started walking down Interstate 51 towards the Phoenix Rescue Mission. Read more of this amazing story…
Bob Alexander has been a faithful financial supporter of the Phoenix Rescue Mission since 2000. But on New Year’s Eve 2005, he and his wife became something more. Read more about the experience Bob and his friends had when they came to Phoenix Rescue Mission.
