Part III: How Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission Helps

Remember Ted from Part I? Having blown every chance and change given to him, Ted said, "Something is broken inside of me." He could not, in and of himself, do the right thing. And he knew it, too. He said that something inside of him was broken.


Benjamin recently left the LifeChange Program after receiving a small settlement for $2000. He booked a plane to another province to move in with a woman. Someone stole half of his money. Once at the airport, he even forgot his wallet. Despite all these obstacles, he decided he was "cured." That the money made it so.


The government thinks homelessness is solved by housing. They also think they are helping the Aboriginal population by offering residential school settlements. At the same time, they mailed all the service providers in Canada a warning letter that we might see an increase in traffic at our soup kitchens and emergency shelters.

What we are seeing is that the common experience payout money is nearing it's end. And the aboriginal population is broke, begging to come on our recovery program, and driving up to eat at the soup kitchen or for a free night of shelter, in their brand new fancy sports cars.

At the Mission we deal with that broken spirit. We deal with the paradox that you can have it all, yet have nothing. We teach people that true riches can only be found in Christ. True healing can only be found in the One who took our sin and shame upon Himself. Following Jesus as our Master--this is freedom.

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
-John 8:36
