Dale's Story: From Prison to Rescue Mission Chaplain Dale's Story: fra fængslet til Rescue Mission præst

In December of 1990 I came to the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake in Utah. I december 1990 kom jeg til Rescue Mission i Salt Lake i Utah. I been out of prison for about 6 months at this time. Jeg været ude af fængsel for omkring 6 måneder på dette tidspunkt. I was in prison for grand theft because I was supporting a drug habit. Jeg var i fængsel for Grand Theft fordi jeg var støtte til et narkotikum vane. I had been homeless at times even before I had entered the mission in Salt Lake. Jeg havde været hjemløse til tider endda før jeg havde trådt missionen i Salt Lake. While at the mission in Salt Lake I heard about the Spiritual Training Program and decided to see if I could get on it mainly because it was cold outside. Mens han var på mission i Salt Lake jeg hørte om det åndelige Training Program og besluttede at se, om jeg kunne få på det primært fordi det var koldt udenfor. After being there for about a week and hearing the Gospel I turned my life over to Christ. Efter at være der for omkring en uge og høre Evangeliet jeg vendte mit liv over til Kristus.

After completing the program I felt the Lord leading to stay and help in the mission. Efter at have udfyldt det program, jeg følte, Herren fører til ophold og hjælpe i missionen. I was given the position of House Manager. Jeg fik stilling House Manager. During my time as House Manager I felt the leading to learn more about the Bible and a desire to share in the evening Chapel Service. I min tid som House Manager jeg følte den førende til at lære mere om Bibelen og et ønske om at deltage i aften Chapel Service. With the help of the Director and others I was able to do Bible Study through correspondence with Trinity Bible College. Med hjælp fra direktøren og andre, jeg var i stand til at gøre Bible Study gennem korrespondance med Trinity Bible College. After a year and much study I was given the position of Assistant Director. Efter et år og meget undersøgelse fik jeg den holdning af assisterende direktør. During my time as Assistant Director I continued my studies and with help from others learned more about the ministry of Rescue. I min tid som assisterende direktør fortsatte jeg mine studier og med hjælp fra andre lærte mere om Ministeriet for redning.

I remained in the mission of Salt Lake until 1999 until I felt the leading to learn other aspects of the ministry and accepted a position at the City Mission in Cleveland, Ohio as a Chaplain and Supervisor of Transitional Housing & Family Shelter. Jeg forblev i missionen i Salt Lake indtil 1999, indtil jeg følte det førende til at lære andre aspekter af ministeriet og accepteret en stilling ved City mission i Cleveland, Ohio som en præst og tilsynsførende for midlertidige boliger og familie husly. During my time in Cleveland I was able to take more classes in counseling, recovery and other aspects of ministry and was given the opportunity to take the City Vision College course offered by the AGRM. Under min tid i Cleveland jeg var i stand til at tage flere klasser i rådgivning, nyttiggørelse og andre aspekter af ministeriet og fik lejlighed til at tage City Vision College naturligvis tilbydes af AGRM. These courses were very beneficial as they gave me insight on all that goes on the operation of a Rescue Mission. Disse kurser var meget fordelagtig, da de gav mig indsigt på alle, der går på driften af et Rescue Mission. I remained in Cleveland for 4 years and am now a Chaplain at the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission in Philadelphia, PA. Jeg forblev i Cleveland for 4 år og er nu en præst på søndag Breakfast Rescue Mission i Philadelphia, PA.
