OUR MISSION

The Gospel Center Rescue Mission (GCRM) is a ministry to the people of San Joaquin County where the

homeless and addicted in our community are presented the opportunity for spiritual, physical and emotional

restoration through the love of Jesus Christ.

WAYNE RICHARDSON’s CEO MESSAGE

I am humbled to have joined the “Team” at the Gospel Center Rescue

Mission in 2016! This year has been marked with celebration and

transition which will be conveyed in detail in this Annual Report.

We have celebrated our 75th Year! Praise be to God for His faithfulness

to us! For providing the Board, Staff and Volunteers; providing the

financial resources; guiding us to better know the needs of the homeless

community of San Joaquin County; and providing His protection for the

Team who have worked in often dangerous surroundings; we give thanks

to the Lord and celebrate 75 years of ministry!

We also transitioned in 2016! We honored outgoing Board members

Don Vos, Elisabeth Weststeyn, and David Vaugn and welcomed Fred

Jantz, Sharon Benninger and Brad Stahl as new Board members. We

also passed the Board President gavel from Richard Gruber to Bill Conley. We thanked outgoing CEO, Bill Brown

who has given his life’s work to the Mission and welcomed to myself as the new CEO where I look to build upon

the wonderful legacy of 75 years. And finally 2016 was a year of change in our programs

and the ongoing physical improvements to the Mission.

Thank you to our Board, Volunteers, Staff and financial supporters. 2016 was a great year!

With you in Christ always!

Board Meetings Moved from Monthly to Bi-monthly

The GCRM Board elected to move from monthly to bimonthly Board meetings. A key aspect of this

change is to recruit future board members who have very busy schedules.

KEY PROGRAMS

Men’s Emergency Lodge Program

FREE overnight program which includes a bed, shower, dinner &

breakfast for up to 75 Men. Feeding for this program and all GCRM

Ministries requires about 600 meals/day or 219,000 meals/year.

New Hope Family Shelter

New Hope Family Shelter is a transitional housing program

for single women and children or families. This FREE program

provides the adults and up to 50 children with basic needs

of food clothing and shelter while they resolve the immediate

issues leading to their homelessness and develop skills to avoid

homelessness in the future. Program components include:

education, work skill development, addiction treatment, anger

management and budgeting to name a few.

New Life Program

This FREE six month program manages life from addiction to

recovery for men and women providing classes dealing with

spiritual, emotional and physical health. This residential

curriculum offers a clean, sober environment, education in

recovery issues along with overcoming family dysfunction

issues, life skills, nutrition, parenting and Christian counseling.

The second phase of the New Life Program is where

Students begin to make and pay restitution to society by giving

back through their “Ministry Assignments.” They begin

employment and/or go to school and pay for part of their

program fees. Hope Learning Center affords New Life Program

reading, writing, and math leading toward testing for a GED. The

final phase can extend for an additional one year for stability in

the Hope Housing residences.

client were recuperating at home. GCRM operates the only

non-profit Recuperative Care Program in San Joaquin County.

Homeless in San Joaquin County. In 2016 GCRM served about
