With encouragement, prayer, and love, people who once had nothing but despair can become fully functioning followers of Christ with hope and a productive, stable life. Leadership at PGM prayerfully and intentionally makes the Mission a loving and nurturing environment to foster spiritual growth. On Saturdays, during our Praise and Testimony Service, we sing hymns and worship through song. Nathan many times helps lead in the service. He also frequently shares his testimony to the homeless here. bible

--"It didn't take me long to give up drinking because when you have Christ, it is easy to give that up. With Christ inside of you, He helps you. You can fight so hard in a recovery or AA program, but if it is not about Christ, it is not going to work. It doesn't matter what kind of addiction you may have because it doesn't stand up to the Lord Jesus. He set me free from drinking and a lot of lustful behaviors. I joined the Bible program here and fell in love with the ministry because they are shining a bright Gospel light.

"We preach the Gospel three or four times a day, and I am happy with serving Christ. Only the Lord can make you happy, and there is no joy like serving the Lord Jesus. If you are in need, many times it's an inward healing that you need. Jesus changed me, and He can change you if you invite Him into your life. There is no joy like serving the Lord. If you are here tonight, please come up front and Pastor Phil will lead you into a new life in Christ. Nothing bad will happen from trying to have a relationship with God. If you are reading this from our mail ministry, please do not wait to invite Jesus into your heart. We are not promised tomorrow. Jesus loves you and will forgive you and take you in to being His."~~

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
