For nearly a century, one group has been tracking with the tragic conditions of the desperate and disenfranchised in North America. The Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM) has been on the sidewalks and in the face of what to many has been a faceless problem. AGRM-member facilities have a reputation for being havens of hope for all who enter.Every year, 275 missions serve nearly 42 million meals, provide more than 15 million nights of lodging, bandage the emotional wounds of thousands of abuse victims, and graduate 18,000- plus individuals from addiction recovery programs. The ramification of their work positively influences surrounding communities in countless ways.While rescue is in the name of the association, the followers of Jesus running these missions see that aspect as just the beginning. In total, they are about:Rescue — Pulling people to safety from adverse conditions, and from choices and habits that lead to damaged health and deathRedemption — Presenting people with a gospel that is about life transformation in Jesus, and the reclamation of His creationRehabilitation — Helping people break the bonds of addiction and desperate behavior, and experience a life of healing and wholenessRe-assimilation — Preparing people to dwell in community, and to have meaningful roles that lead to stability and missional living
