Despair and poverty lurks around the inner city

Although Fall was our busy season, this past year Winter was REALLY busy due to the merger of Regina RESCUE Mission with Souls Harbour.

Now that it's Summer, we are all taking our vacations, which means it remains busy as people fill in and provide coverage in various departments. The majority of us are cross trained in most departments.

One week in August we have SEVEN people away at once due to illness, a conference, and vacation planned nearly a year in advance! So, IS there a slow season? I guess not for our staff, who covered for Ken and I one month in Spring!

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. Somewhere in there, we all take holidays. We all try and slow down and re-prioritize, spending time with our families, and enjoying our abundant blessings.

The poor and needy do not take vacation. They don't have money to fix up their house this summer. Time away might mean a night at our Shelter. Time with the family might mean visiting Daddy in prison.

Please pray for us as we seek to spend time with our own families, while continuing to make our inner city residents a priority. North Central and the Core of Regina is a troubled, hurting world amongst a relatively normal city! Much despair and poverty lurks around each corner.

It is our aim to RESCUE people from poverty, addiction, and sin, by offering emergency help, such as food, clothing and shelter, Life Changing recovery Programs, and the Gospel Message.
