David arrived at the Allentown Rescue Mission in August 2006 as a young man who was homeless, but he soon found a home, and hope, because of people willing to be honest and compassionate. He accepted responsibility for his destructive decisions, and he accepted the possibility of change through the life-giving power of Christ. He is a member of and serves a local church; he is now a teacher, counselor, mentor, and life-coach to the men at the Mission. They give him purpose; he is committed to them, all because he was given a second chance at life that he works to give them.
