Moving Forward Albuquerque Rescue Mission

Andrea has job, a place to live, money in savings, and is a member of a local church. She is a recent graduate of the Women's Center of Hope at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission.

Andrea's life matters to God. He's been passionately pursuing her all her life.

A few years ago, Andrea was struggling with addiction, lost, and without hope for her future.

There were times where Andrea's family had given up hope that she would live a productive life.

Jesus never gave up on Andrea. The nails in His hands and feet. Every drop of innocent blood He spilled was for her.

Even when Andrea doubted if she could make it through the program at the Women's Center of Hope, God believed in her. He had faith in her.

"In the darkness, even a single light shines bright."

Around the world, terror groups seek to bring destruction, death, and fear. The darkness can be overwhelming. But Andrea's life represents hope.

During Holy Week, we reflect on ancient writings and sacrifices made in antiquity. Today, in Andrea's new life, we see the reason God gave His only, precious Son to die for our sins.

No terrorist or acts of hate can defeat the love of God. All is not lost. Hope wins. Love wins. God changes people. He makes us new. No bomb can stop that.

This week is a celebration. When the blameless, holy, bleeding Son of God shouted "It is finished" He did not mean HE was finished.

Jesus was not finished. His work was just beginning. We are privileged to be called to share in that work - rescuing lost and broken people. That is our mission - to rescue.

Join with us. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Give. Give joyfully, knowing you are a part of God's plan to change the world. He does what no one else can do - change lives.
