Even when it seems impossible to see, hope can be found.
We recognize we can do nothing apart from God. As you go about your daily life, will you please join us in asking Him to intervene and lead us in the work He’s doing here at the Mission?
Annette
Trapped in prostitution, Annette started working the Seattle streets at age 14.
"I don’t remember any Christmas before coming to the Mission. I was probably working the streets. One of my first memories at the Mission was Christmas morning, I woke up to tons of gifts outside my door. Those gifts showed me God’s love. I remember every Christmas since then and cherish the time with family." Read Annettes full story.
