Transitional Housing Is Online!

Public Invited to Open House on April 11

The homeless community has a variety of needs on a number of levels.  There are physical needs such as food, shelter, and clothing.  There are life needs such as assistance with replacing ID’s and finding jobs.  There are spiritual needs such as having an opportunity to hear the Word of God and receive Christian counseling.

For nearly ten years, Strong Life Rescue Mission has been working to meet all of these needs and more.  Through the Life House facility located next to the Salvation Army Center on Lenoir-Rhyne Blvd., Hickory’s homeless have seen the love of Jesus consistently put on display.

Now, with the acquisition of the new property on Fairgrove Church Road, Strong Life is positioned to dramatically expand its existing services. Beginning this month, a much-needed additional ministry will be offered:  Strong Life Men’s Transitional Program.

One of the greatest challenges faced by those who wish to come out of homelessness is finding a supportive environment that not only offers the resources they need to go on that journey, but removes them from the various harmful influences and temptations that they face regularly on the street.  The new Transitional Program does just that.  

A separate home on the new property has been renovated to provide supervised, structured living for ten men. These men will be carefully screened, gainfully employed, and dedicated to making the right choice it takes to succeed in their shift toward productive citizenship. 

Come join us on Sunday, April 11 at the Strong Life Men’s Program Open House and see for yourself this exciting next stage in the ministry’s development.  You can tour the facility, meet some of the first residents, and learn first-hand how your support of Strong Life is making a lasting difference in the lives of Hickory’s homeless.

Drop-in hours for the Open House are 2:00 – 5:00 pm at 1211 Fairgrove Church Rd. SE, Conover, NC 28613.  

Support Strong Life This Month
One of the subjects in our morning devotions this past month has been the life of Abraham.  God called Abraham to step out and trust Him on a long, challenging, and sometimes perilous journey into faith. In the same way, these men are heading out of homelessness, trusting that God will accompany them and make a way through their wilderness.

It is only through your prayers and support that Strong Life is able to partner with these men as they move out of darkness into light. Would you prayerfully consider being a part of that work this month?
