Important First Steps

by Rick C. Phillips

     We all have priorities. They are these things we see as being most important.  But do we always get them in the right order?

     Here at Union Gospel Mission, hurting people are our number one priority. Our statement of purpose declares that the reason for our existence is to respond to their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

     God does indeed have a special place in His heart for the poor and afflicted. Our love for Him is best expressed in the love and concern we show for these people. Remember the words of Jesus; "Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it unto Me."

     In our 65th year of ministry, our number one priority is still the same.
