Interim Director’s Note:

In God’s Hands—Change Brings Challenges

As some of you may know, this year has been full of challenges for us here at the Mission. With the Mission flooding back in January, the challenges of repairs while continuing to serve hot meals & hand out clothing behind our building during the winter’s wet & cold months, was quite a journey. But through it all, God carried us and made things better than before. He touched hearts inside and outside our community. “I’m always in awe of how God prompts people to show up at the right time or to give just the right amount of funds that were needed for something right then,” says Interim Director Janet Anderson. “But even more than that, I love seeing God move in people’s hearts. We can’t thank you enough to all who stepped up to help us!!!”

Our former Executive Director, Tricia Ziese, who stepped down for personal family reasons from her role at the Mission in June earlier this year, has prompted others to step up. God used Tricia in so many wonderful ways as she helped the Mission grow and see the possibilities of reaching out into the community more and building relationships. Her kind and caring heart lead many to want to know more about and grow in Christ’s love. She is very much missed and we hope that God will bring her back to the Mission in whatever role He leads her, someday.

Although it will be difficult to fill the shoes Tricia wore, the Mission is currently seeking a new Executive Director. The Director’s position is a full-time position for someone that has a focus on Jesus and God’s will, have a heart for people, and has the business knowledge to help lead the Mission in the direction that God is leading us. The candidate for Director should also be able to help find and/or write grants, attend a variety of city, county, & other meetings, go to churches to talk about what we do and why we need their help, understand finances, and above all, loves God. If you know someone or think you might be that person, please send your resume to the Mission. Please call 360-996-4474 with any questions.
