“You may not have saved a lot of money in your life, but if you have saved a lot of heartaches for other folks, you are a pretty rich man.”

“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”

“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”

Mentor Program
The focus of the Mentor Program is to come alongside a program resident and model healthy living and to help with rehabilitative and spiritual needs through one’s faith in Jesus Christ. The Mentor Program uses a continuum of care that works to create a growing, healthy relationship.
We are grateful for those willing to invest their time in the service of others to help them reach their goals of living a more purpose driven life.
We are pleased that you have decided to be involved in the life of a Pueblo Rescue Mission program resident. We believe that forming Godly and healthy relationships in the community will be immensely beneficial for our clients in their journey to stabilization and recovery.
​
Our goal is to help each resident experience Redemption, Recovery and Restoration through our Mission Mentor Program. This program will be a crucial component of the Restoration piece.

“In order to be a mentor, and an effective one,
one must care. You must care. You don’t have to
know how many square miles are in Idaho, you
don’t need to know what is the chemical makeup
of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you
know and care about the person. Care about what
you know, share how you got there and care about
the person you’re sharing it with.”
~Maya Angelou~
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward
love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some
are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the
more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25
