FA I T H Fall Faith in the Falls Benefit Dinner for Faith Mission and Faith Refuge March 23, 2015 at the MPEC in Wichita Falls “I did it, Papaw!” Suddenly, everyone in the restaurant was aware that my grandson finished connecting-the-dots on the puzzle on the menu. We were both proud! Connecting the dots happens daily at Faith Mission and Faith Refuge. For some, we simply provide safe shelter so they don’t sleep on the streets. For others, it is a hearty meal and a clean set of clothes. For many, it’s the new life they find in Christ. Let me offer you a glimpse of the connections that you help make possible.

Cowboy Church of The Thmission... ank you for partnering with us to provide Board of Directors Tommy and his family thought they were just coming to Wichita Falls from El Paso for a fresh start. They planned to stay at Faith Mission while seeking employment and Tommy hoped to pursue a degree in counseling at a local university. They found much more! Tommy and son, Aiden, age 12, invited Christ into their lives at Faith Mission the second day they arrived. Enthused by their decisions, wife, Naomi, and daughter, Iris, age 10, invited Christ into their lives at the Nick Vujicic event at the MPEC the next Sunday. Naomi started working as a prep cook at a restaurant and the family is overjoyed as they prepare to become selfsufficient. Bless the Homeless make an impact today, Ashley was facing 47 years in prison for multiple charges of criminal activity. While awaiting transfer from jail to prison, she prayed for forgiveness from the Lord and asked Jesus Christ into her life. She believes that fervent prayer and God’s mercy resulted in her release on a technicality one week later! She immediately and voluntarily entered the New Beginnings Recovery Program at Faith Refuge and became one of its first graduates. Similarly, Shawn found help in the recovery program at Faith Mission. He now works in the oil field to support their daughter, Valerie, and their growing family. They are finding encouragement and love through a local church. Vernal L. Huffines, Chair Greg Burt Johnelle Donnell Tony Fidelie M. E. Harrell, DDS Lynn Moran Tom Rodgers Janice Stine G.
