Victory in 2013

We are just coming off of a GREAT New Year’s Eve party that was “off the hook” with fun, food, gifts, games and a challenging message.  The food was fit for royalty. The chapel was converted into a bowling alley for Wii bowling. Prizes were given away – nice, warm coats – Nike, Carhart, etc.  Billiard and pinochle tournaments brought much needed laughter and fun for the night.  We were challenged to make Christ our “chief cornerstone and solid foundation” throughout the coming year!

Several men told me how grateful they were for the opportunities provided here at the Mission.  One particular man told me he was at a very low point and had some disturbing things happen to him throughout the course of the day.  He is a very motivated Christian brother who was being sorely tempted by his former addiction that night.  The fellowship and spirit of the evening reminded him to whom he belongs and the freedom he now has in Christ.  God was glorified in him, and he walked in victory again.
