Congrats to these two men who did the hard work, persevered with patience and are now enjoying success. 🙌

R3 Program guests and friends Stephen and Gregg are moving out and into a new home where they will continue to be roommates.

They joked that they already know how to share space with each other and they have a solid foundation of friendship on which to build.

“I wouldn’t have been able to get where I am without the Mission,” Stephen shared, adding that he’s rebuilt trust with his family and has them back in his life. “This whole process has taught me patience and that good things come to those who wait.”

“Coming here was the best decision I ever made,” Gregg shared.

We’re so happy for them!

Baptism day for several men in the Life Change program! 💦🕊️

The men were baptized at Ekklesia Eugene among a crowd of supporters, including counselor Billy, who helped baptize them.

Baptism is not a requirement for the program—these men chose willingly to share their faith and their decision to follow Jesus.

We’re so happy for them. ❤️

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

“Double Your Difference” alert! 🔔

Next up we have Nico, women’s Life Change Program graduate, who nominated volunteer Anne.

“She’s quick to hold your hand and pray. She’s nonjudgmental, encouraging and always cheering us on,” Nico shared.

When Anne is leading a tour at the Mission, she’ll pause what she’s doing to say hi, pay attention to guests and make them feel special, Nico said.

Folks are nominating someone worthy of recognition who has made a difference in their lives.

Mythbusting time!

🚫 Myth: guests at the Eugene Mission are just sitting around passing time.

✅ Reality: We switched to a relational program model and sober campus following the pandemic.

Whether guests are enrolled in the Life Change or R3 Program, they are actively working to address their barriers in partnership with their navigators.

Both programs offer classes and a variety of activities that help guests form healthy connections with others and overcome their challenges. Both programs offer structure and accountability.

Our guests are surrounded by volunteers who add another layer of support beyond what our staff provides.

This picture was taken at a local men’s spiritual retreat, where men deepened friendships, built their faith and shared their burdens with one another.

We make progress together. ❤️‍🩹

We asked you to nominate someone who has made a difference in your life…

Our first responder is Charlie Skoog, a longtime volunteer with the Eugene Mission. Charlie nominated his dear friend and fellow volunteer Alfonso!

“Alfonso has impacted so many lives giving his “upmost” to the Utmost. His Light shines so bright at the Mission and wherever God leads him. A best friend in Christ like no other!” ❤️❤️❤️

Has someone made a big difference in your life?

This June, in honor of our “Double Your Difference” matching donation challenge, we’re acknowledging people who have made a difference in the lives of others.

Send us a message with the name of the person you’re thanking and why they’re special to you, or just post it in the comments. (You can post a first name or keep the person anonymous if you prefer).

We’ll go first. We nominate Bob, a faithful volunteer in the Eugene Mission’s Rescue Shelter.

Bob comes every week to lift up and encourage guests who have just come in off the street. His gentle ways and kind words have let so many guests know that they are loved and cared for.

Thank you Bob! You’re a difference maker. 🎉💕🙌

Through June 30th, every gift to the Eugene Mission will be matched dollar-for-dollar through our Summer of Growing Matching Challenge.

Your gifts ensure that guests like Jessica, in the women's Life Change Program, continue receiving the help they need to grow strong.
