They let believers stay longer, give them more privileges, and are much, much nicer to them. They have no respect for clients' beliefs or non-belief unless they are already RABIDLY christian. This is not spirituality: it is spiritual abuse. When you get a bed at The Rose, you are forced to attend bible study for an hour a day. Thank you for clarifying the REAL purpose of Redwood Gospel Mission: it is to get the poor and homeless to become christians: to convert us. It is our objective or Mission, that lives would be transformed through mobilizing and equipping people in this community to minister to the needy, thus fulfilling the Gospel imperative “For in as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto Me.” Mission is not intended to imply simply a building. It is our desire to bring the good news of Christ’s salvation to everyone we serve and to bring the good news of hope for an improved life through the various services we provide.
Gospel is from the Latin word for good news. Redwood represents the geographical area of our service community, the “Redwood Empire.” We serve all of Sonoma County also reaching out to the surrounding counties which have no Rescue Ministries. Mission Statement: The Redwood Gospel Mission, in the grace and power of Jesus Christ, mobilizes our community to minister to the needy so that lives are transformed. There are many opportunities for the community to be involved in serving the poor and needy. They host at least 5 major Outreach Events to the poor and needy each year and a couple of fund-raising activities. The Redwood Gospel Mission has a Men's Shelter, a Men's long-term Residential Recovery Program, a Women's Shelter, a Women's long-term Residential Recovery Program, ministry outreach to the county jail, a Thrift Store, a Recycling Center and Ministry Support Offices.
