The Anchorage Gospel Rescue
Mission is dedicated to demonstrating the love and power of God and to
bringing people into a life-changing relationship with his son Jesus
Christ. We are a nonprofit organization who receives
NO municipal,
state or federal funds. We are not a United Way® agency. Your
financial support and In Kind donations make it possible for us
to provide for the poor, needy and homeless in our community. We
also administer educational and counseling programs in an attempt to
foster
opportunities for healing, growth, and employment for those in need.
Statement of Purpose
from the
constitution and by-laws of the Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission Inc
(revised Oct 14, 1996):
· Article
II, Purpose: We are a Christian organization and our purpose is to show
God’s love through example and in a practical manner by providing for
the needs of the homeless, poor, needy and dysfunctional people in our
community. Our goal, is Rescue and Rehabilitation. Our aim, is to
return the people that come to use for help to being useful citizens in
Society.
Guiding Principals for
finding a new home for the Lord’s Lovely Mission on the Move:
· Follow
the Mission’s stated corporate Purpose and remain non-profit,
non-denominational and non-discriminatory.
· Make
and follow a 100 year plan and adjust it periodically.
· Be
a good neighbor.
· Work
cooperatively with other homeless agencies.
· Avoid
a fight for everyone. Remain lowly, meek, long suffering and forebear
others in love, no matter what. Love people into cooperation. Turn the
other cheek but don’t run the other way. Submit and seek changes.
· Don’t
give up. Expect a miracle.
