“Following Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me!”
Brother Keith first came to Memphis Union Mission after being paroled from prison and completed our program, but soon returned to addiction and homelessness. When he realized he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life on the streets, he returned to the Mission and gave transformation another chance.
As Brother Keith grew in his faith, God led him toward ministry. With mentoring and support from the Mission, he attended theology school and discovered a new purpose for his life.
Today, Brother Keith has been sober for 14 years, owns a lawn care company, serves in ministry, and gives back by teaching discipleship classes at the Mission.
“When I get a chance to pour my life into others, it gives me a chance to give God the glory.”
At Memphis Union Mission, life transformation begins with Christ, and a transformed life can become an instrument for transforming others.
