PSST...Let’s break out of here
and cross the road. We’ll be famous!
The good news is that we have a loving
Father who forgives us of all we have
done and equally important, shows us
that by having a forgiving heart of our
own we can forgive others for things they
have done to us. This frees us to live a life
of Love and when that happens we obtain
the peace we all seek.
By far the number one issue with those
who walk through our doors as guests is
unforgiveness. They either can’t forgive
themselves for what they did to others
or they can’t forgive others (often family
members) who harmed them. One goal
of the Mission is to guide folks towards a
better path of forgiveness, which along
with all of the concrete programs we
offer, helps folks “get well.” A heart of
forgiveness (witch is a heart of love) is the
very definition of wellness.
