My Nonprofit Reviews

I have a relative whose life was literally saved by the work and blessings of the fine folks at Union Gospel Mission in Sacramento. My relative and my entire family are forever grateful to the Mission and its many fine professionals.

Union Gospel Mission of Sacramento is a lifesaving, society building miracle. Staffed by men and women devoted to the Lord, the Mission has saved hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of lives over the years, and brought hope to the families of those rescued, often for the first time in the family's experience with men who were lost to a life of sin and perdition.

My brother was bound for an early grave after decades of drug abuse, serious crime, and imprisonment. Try though we did, our family simply couldn't bring him back from the precipice of a death in sin -- nothing, that is, until one of us was blessed with the inspiration to contact the Mission and ask that he be admitted to their year-long program.

After several weeks of prayer, hard work to have my brother move back to California, and, most importantly, the Holy Spirit moving through the staff and executives at the Mission, my brother was admitted to, and eventually completed, the Mission's program. Today, several years later, he remains a devout Christian, no longer leading a troubled life.

When receiving thanks and gratitude for their extraordinary work, the staff at the Mission is quick to humbly explain that the results of their efforts are the work of Jesus Christ -- and with that, no one can argue. Nonetheless, I for one am very pleased that the Mission's staff and executives are the very ones through whom Jesus chooses to work.
