“Thank the Lord for the Salt Lake City Mission! The God used the mission to save my life. Without the Salt Lake City Mission I wouldn’t have made it.” – Bill C.

“Salt Lake City Mission saved my life!

Now, I have my kids back in my life and am an example to those who come into program after me.” – Jerry R.

“The Mission Rescued me from a severe addiction to pain pills and a life of hell. Had it not been for the Salt Lake City Mission, I know I would have died alone in my darkness. Thank you Lord Jesus for sending me there to the Salt Lake City Mission to learn of You and your healing. I owe You my life!!” – Steve W.

They are hungry and hurting men, women and children. Contrary to popular belief, the fastest growing population of poverty and homelessness is women with children under the age of nine — they are your neighbors. They are ordinary people and not the labels like: homeless, drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill, ex-cons, felons, etc. These are the labels that have been placed on them to remove them from humanity. So that we can justify not doing much or anything to help them.

The question we should be asking ourselves:

369,000 Utah residents live under the national poverty line, and more than 420,000 suffer from hunger. Many of our neighbors don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Every one of us could end up in the same situation. Some of life’s devastating blows are enough to leave us out on the street. It can be a financial, physical, mental health problem, or anything beyond what we can handle to leave us on streets. And we can be left trying to drown out our pain and sorrows right along those we turn away from on a daily basis!

If you have tried everything and help from every agency and organization. If you have found yourself in a situation that you know that only GOD can mend and deliver you from. So, wouldn’t you want God’s help? Wouldn’t you want God’s chosen people to help you and let him love and help you through them? Well, we have good news for you!

Why Us?
