August!
Dear Friend,
I have two questions for you this month. #1 What controls you? #2 What do you control? I have been thinking about these topics lately. Obviously, this is something in my personal life that I need to keep track of, but it’s also something that I try to help our clients deal with. Most of the issues that our clients face, come from these two questions.
Our clients are often controlled by outside influences; drugs, alcohol, bad relationships, poor decisions, or many other influences. The problem is, these are things that they can control (usually), but they need help, like most of us. The goal of the Union Gospel Mission is to help them. Teach them to control the things that they can control, but not let the other things control them!
We stress that their “brokenness” is not the end of the road. There is help to have the life they want! Your partnership helps us share the message of hope and helps us continue "Meeting Needs, Making Change, and Magnifying Christ!"
Serving Christ and the Community,
Rev. Jon Rector
Executive Director
