Hello Everyone!

We can’t thank you enough for all of your prayers & support of our Annual Dinner & Auction! With your help, we raised over $34,000! A huge portion of this money will go towards us getting a whole building generator. God is so good! He blessed us in so many ways!

We would like to thank: Centralia Christian School for letting us host the event there; The Crowded Kitchen for providing us with amazing food & service; our auctioneer– Mary Garrison & her sister for providing outstanding auctioneering & clerking duties; Scout Troop 373 for helping with serving water, cleaning up dishes, helping take items out to vehicles, and making sure the school was cleaned after the event; and the many volunteers and staff that helped put on the event!

Mission Statement: Glorify God by meeting spiritual and physical needs of the homeless and needy in Lewis County.

Lewis County Gospel Mission (LCGM) helps meet the needs of hurting people and transforming lives by exercising the love of Jesus Christ in the Lewis County Gospel Mission facility and the Lewis County Jail.

Our goal is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, provide Christian fellowship, provide for physical needs and to work together with churches and organizations in Lewis County, Washington.

Director’s Note:

As I reflect on nearly 8 months at the Lewis County Gospel Mission, I think, “how time flies!” More importantly how blessed we are! All of us at the Mission get to serve those who are the least of these every day. With great service comes great joy. With great service comes Great reward! With great service comes great understanding. With great service comes great rejoicing!

AND, sometimes great service leads to great heartbreak. Death as a result of an overdose is a very real reality in the homeless community. Rage and despair are a daily event for those dealing with severe mental illness. Put together mental illness and addiction and there seems to be no hope.

Enter a baby in a manger! The whole direction of mankind changed with that single event. HOPE became a living reality. The God of the universe walked among his creation. He healed the broken of that day and still does today! Those of who work in the “homeless” places can tell stories of addiction turned to Worship. Hopelessness turned to praise. Self-loathing turned to wholeness. And the list goes on and on!

Joy to the WORLD! The Savior has come!
