Welcome Statement From Dan Streeter:
Welcome to the City Rescue Mission website. We appreciate your interest in the ministry of helping people in need find a place of Christian care during their time of distress. I hope you find our website accessible, informative, and inspirational as you see firsthand how lives are being changed on a daily basis.
For
over thirty years, you have had the opportunity to watch a phenomenal
change occur in the services provided for people in need in our area, prompting the creation of Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan in 2005. From the start of Family Shelter in 1982, to the addition of Community
Village in 1992, and the recent addition of Good Samaritan Rescue
Mission in 2005, Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan has been active to
provide meaningful and compassionate care that has grown and adjusted
to meet the changing community needs. As a young boy, I have many
memories of the old Mission on Third and Lapeer, just blocks away from
where the current Mission stands. I remember the old chapel, the dorms,
the meals served, and the men in need. It has been an amazing
transformation of growth of facilities and services that has occurred
over such a short period of time.
I
have had the wonderful opportunity to work in many facets of the
ministry over the past 19 years, and looking back, God has been shaping
me, and Dad has been training me. In my new role as Executive
Director, I am thankful to draw upon Dad’s experience, as I strive to
continue his legacy he has so excellently patterned for me for 35 years.
We
depend on your participation as much now as we did 106 years ago when
the Mission first opened its doors. So many things have changed, and
yet each day a new face walks through the doors of the Mission
searching for a reason to keep going. Thank you for taking the time to
learn more about the struggles and solutions for the homeless in our
area. My hope is that you will partner with us to make a difference in
our community.
