A DAY in the
LIFE
ANNUAL REPORT
2017
Dear Friends,
JIM REESE ATLANTA MISSION PRESIDENT AND CEO
LARRY MOCK ATLANTA MISSION BOARD CHAIR
WE ARE LIVING in a world where each moment is scheduled, both in our professional and in our personal lives. This sense of perpetual motion pervades our culture, and our time has become a precious commodity. In the midst of this, many of us forget to make time for Christ. Psalm 90:12 says “So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.” It is a prayer that asks God to give us wisdom and to keep Him at the center of our busy lives. This takes intentionality. Our clients, staff, donors, and volunteers all have very different schedules, but all are centered on Christ. In this annual report, we invite you into “A Day in the Life” of the dedicated people at Atlanta Mission. You will read about Atlanta Mission through the eyes of Marilyn, who is trying to create a better life for herself and for her teenage daughter; Peter, a faithful donor who volunteers each week; Able, an enthusiastic staff member who builds relationships with our men; and committed volunteers who are essential to the success of Atlanta Mission. This year at Atlanta Mission, we have much to celebrate. We served over 8,600 men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. An

astounding 394 women chose help in the last year, meaning they made the decision to meet with a social worker and their Ambassador to determine the appropriate actions they should take to permanently end their homelessness. In June, we implemented the Transformation Model at our downtown men’s campus. The changes that have occurred there already are extraordinary. In the first month alone, 48 men chose help and completed a needs assessment. Also in the first month, 528 men participated in our day services. We give God the glory for each and every life that is being transformed. As we look back on the last year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your generosity. Without your partnership, Marilyn and her daughter wouldn’t have a safe place to stay each night and an opportunity for a new life. Your gifts make such an incredible difference. On behalf of our clients, staff, and volunteers, thank you for making Atlanta Mission a priority in your busy schedule. You are helping to end homelessness, one friend at a time. Blessings, JIM REESE AND LARRY MOCK

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STAFF MEMBER
Able ABLE LEBENI is a sought-after staff member with a constantly full schedule, but you wouldn’t know that if you encountered him in the halls of The Shepherd’s Inn, our men’s downtown campus. He has a calming presence, an inviting smile, and actively listens to what you have to say. As an Ambassador, he builds relationships with men experiencing homelessness, and asks how he can help them get the services they need. Ultimately, his goal is to inspire these men to choose help, and eventually end their homelessness. Able begins his day at 6:30 AM when he arrives at The Shepherd’s Inn. Right away, men who are seeking his advice or need his help approach him. He will deeply engage with at least seven clients by 8:00 AM, assisting them

with various needs, or just lending a listening ear. Each day, he leads a devotional, participates in praise and worship, has many one-on-one sessions with clients, teaches classes, and facilitates group discussions. He interacts with an astounding 50 or more men per day. Even though his days at work are busy, he loves being an Ambassador. “I have the amazing opportunity to be myself every single day here,” says Able. “I get to encourage men and pour wisdom into them.” Able believes that God has been preparing him specifically for this role for many years. “Throughout my life, God has showed me that I make people comfortable enough to be themselves and express themselves freely to me. This is where people need to be in order to hear the Gospel.”
His calm demeanor and active listening skills are very helpful in his role as Ambassador. The men he encounters on a daily basis feel comfortable and valued in his presence—something they may not often experience. Once that trust is built, these men are much more likely to choose help. “Able gives me his undivided attention and really listens to what I have to say,” says Q, a client at The Shepherd’s Inn. “He encouraged me to choose help and start getting my life back together.” Caring, passionate, faithful staff members like Able are essential in our mission to end homelessness. Tragically, many of the clients we serve have no close relationships in their lives. Ambassadors and other staff members get to know the clients and listen to their needs. They make them feel valued and give them hope. “We are Ambassadors for Atlanta Mission, but most importantly, we are Ambassadors for Christ,” says Able. “Everything we do is done to inspire a hunger for Jesus in our clients.”

394 394 women made the decision to choose help in fiscal year 2017.
THE CRITICAL ELEMENT IN CHOOSE HELP SERVICES IS BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. We aim to befriend these men and women, as Christ calls us to. We begin our relationships with men and women by simply asking, “How can we help?” Through this and subsequent conversations, we begin to build trust and hope. Ambassadors create an environment in which clients feel safe to share their stories, process their options, and are gently encouraged through hardships and roadblocks they encounter. Our Social Workers oversee the assessment process, lead classes and groups, and make outside referrals for clients to service partners and programs.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CLIENT
Marilyn AS SHE STOOD outside the door of the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children, Marilyn remembered volunteering there years prior. She remembered the smiles on the women’s faces as she served them a meal or gave them clothes. Today, she was there for a completely different reason—because she and her daughter, Sarah, needed a place to sleep and a new start. “I had a rich, full life,” says Marilyn. “I never thought I would end up at a homeless shelter.” She had an established career in the furniture installation business and enjoyed going to work every day. She was doing well, providing for herself and her three daughters.
10
DAY IN THE LIFE
Unexpectedly, Marilyn began having hip and leg pain. She had to undergo bilateral hip replacement surgery, and was unable to continue working. She was not able to pay rent at her apartment, so she moved in with some family members. She soon realized that it was not a safe environment for Sarah. “Taking Sarah to a homeless shelter was a humbling and challenging experience, because I didn’t know what to expect,” says Marilyn. “I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at My Sister’s House.” The staff members were kind and treated them with dignity. They asked Marilyn what she and Sarah needed, and helped provide those services for them. She

felt a weight lifting off her chest because she realized they were going to be safe here. Today, Marilyn’s days look different than they used to, but she appreciates this difference. She chose help eight weeks ago, and has been taking advantage of our Make Progress Services since then. Her days are filled with counseling sessions, time with her social worker, Bible studies, and working at the front desk of My Sister’s House. Her Advocate, Becca taught a stress management class that helped Marilyn a great deal. “I realized that stress was my biggest problem, especially when it came to providing for my daughter,” say Marilyn. “Becca taught me healthy ways to manage my stress, such as prayer, meditation, and being open with my counselor.” Sarah is also thriving at My Sister’s House. She is surrounded by a community of women who support and encourage her daily. She has also opened up to her own counselor, which was a big breakthrough. With Becca’s help, Marilyn has applied for subsidized housing, and has been approved for disability benefits. She and Sarah are hoping to move into a place of their own in the next few months. Marilyn’s dream is to eventually teach women how to succeed in traditionallymale dominated fields like she did, and perhaps partner with My Sister’s House. “Atlanta Mission has changed my life,” Marilyn says. “Sarah and I have hope and a better future because of this place.”

Make Progress Services ONCE CLIENTS CHOOSE HELP, THEY MOVE INTO OUR MAKE PROGRESS SERVICES. This is where they receive individualized services that address their unique needs. Each person is assigned an interdisciplinary team that guides him or her through our services. This team is made up of an Advocate, a Social Worker, a Counselor, a Children’s Social Worker, and a Vocational Training Manager. These five people work together to ensure that each client’s needs are being met in the five outcome areas, and that the client is

making progress to end his or her homelessness. As many of our clients come to realize they need more than job training, our teams are surrounding them with care and instruction— equipping them with what they need for a transformed life. Individualized service plans take intentionality and a relational approach to ensure the needs of the clients are met, and, most importantly, the root causes of their homelessness are identified and dealt with.
Metrics
341 In fiscal year 2017, we have served 229 women and 112 children in Make Progress Services at My Sister’s House.
336 In fiscal year 2017, we have served 336 men Make Progress Services at The Shepherd’s Inn, our downtown men’s campus.
196 In fiscal year 2017, 196 individuals obtained employment.
259 In fiscal year 2017, 259 individuals obtained permanent housing.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ROOT CAUSES OF THEIR HOMELESSNESS ARE IDENTIFIED AND DEALT WITH.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VOLUNTEER
Peter BRIGHT AND EARLY Friday morning, you can find Peter McHale hard at work in the kitchen at The Shepherd’s Inn, our downtown men’s campus. He arrives by 5:45 AM each Friday to prepare and serve breakfast to our clients. He has been volunteering at Atlanta Mission for five years, serving countless meals to men who need it most.
14
DAY IN THE LIFE
Along with his faithful volunteering, Peter is also a donor. It is important to him to give both his time and treasure to Atlanta Mission. He has gotten to know other volunteers and the staff members in the kitchen, along with clients. Seeing clients move from Choose Help to Make Progress is very rewarding to him. “The takeaway from both
Seeing clients move from Choose Help to Make Progress is very rewarding to him. “The takeaway from both volunteering and giving is so much,” says Peter. “The guys I serve breakfast to always thank me, but it is me who should be thanking them. My money and time is small potatoes compared with what I take away.”

volunteering and giving is so much,” says Peter. “The guys I serve breakfast to always thank me, but it is me who should be thanking them. My money and time is small potatoes compared with what I take away.” Peter highly recommends volunteering at Atlanta Mission, because he believes in our vision of ending homelessness: “My effort to help Atlanta Mission continue to make a difference in the lives of many in my community that may be forgotten or ignored is a great source of satisfaction, and a connection I plan on continuing for as long as I can.”

Our Metrics Journey OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ON A JOURNEY TO BETTER DEMONSTRATE OUR IMPACT. WE HAVE BROUGHT CLARITY to our outcomes as well as added technology to better serve the men, women, and children in our care. Two years ago, we received a generous donation to help build a Client Management System in Salesforce. After 10 months of development, the system was implemented across all four campuses. Throughout fiscal year 2017, we were able to onboard over 65 users to our Salesforce system, and we also added tools to track our children’s progress. Management began using data in their weekly meetings to ensure the quality of our operations. Finally, we defined our key outcomes and indicators of success and added them to our clients’ profiles. Using Salesforce to manage our clients’ care has been a tremendous tool to ensure our clients have a great experience in our facilities and are making progress to accomplish three main outcomes:
Become Rooted in Community Retain Employment Aquire Secure Housing
16
DAY IN THE LIFE
INVESTING IN THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO OUR OPERATIONS: Increased efficiencies and time savings to our processes Allowed staff to better monitor the progress of our clients Analyze trends and changes in the needs of our clients
Sustain and Grow OUR HOPE IS THAT EACH CLIENT WOULD NO LONGER FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER OR BE LABELED BY THEIR PAST.
A CLIENT’S JOURNEY DOES NOT END WHEN THEY MOVE OUT OF OUR FACILITIES. INSTEAD, IT IS ACTUALLY BEGINNING. The goal for Sustain and Grow services is to provide staff support to help our clients remain in their communities, employment, and housing for two years. While we have not yet implemented services to formally ensure these outcomes, this is the final phase of our Transformation Model. We are planning to hire Sustain and Grow teams in the next fiscal year. A job and a house are not the only outcomes for the men and women we serve, and our clients’ transformation does not stop once they move into permanent housing. The goal of our services is they would sustain the changes made in their time with us, and also continue to grow. This type of growth requires community support and nourishment. We work so our clients can become thriving members of the community of Believers. They would no longer feel like an outsider or be labeled by their past, but instead would be re-engaged with the Lord and His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Our Dedicated Volunteers
TIFFANY MOEN
Tiffany Moen is an outstanding partner with The Potter’s House. Since Fall 2016, she has served weekly in our kitchen, taught a bible study, and provided homebaked goods regularly. Through the generous sharing of her time, Tiffany has become a true friend of the men she meets at The Potter’s House.
She says “I prayed for a long time about a new purpose for my life and am so glad that the Lord led me to The Potter’s House. Getting to know each of the men by name and what is in their lives and hearts has been an incredible privilege.”

DAY IN THE LIFE
KYLE NEELEY
Kyle Neeley is a tremendous volunteer at The Shepherd’s Inn. He started volunteering with us in May 2016, quickly building relationships with the men through serving in the kitchen. Today, he continues to volunteer nearly every morning in our kitchen and every Tuesday evening for Bible study. He also made a way for our men to experience Passion Conference. Finally, he intentionally shows up for all of our client’s milestones, big and small, to celebrate their transformation and growth.
“It’s a privilege to serve here. Jesus has done so much for me that it’s a joy to serve others and the Atlanta Mission has given me an incredible opportunity to do that. The men have become dear brothers and it’s an honor to call them friends.”

NEW KITCHEN FOR OUR MEN THE SHEPHERD’S INN has a new kitchen! Our largest men’s campus downtown has received a complete overhaul of the kitchen. A faithful and gracious anonymous donor was inspired to give nearly $100,000 for flooring, equipment, walls, fixtures, and many other new items. Each day, more than 300 men (more than 3,500 unique men annually) come to Atlanta Mission for safety from the streets. As we were called to freedom, we have an opportunity to use our freedom

not for up building of our flesh, but through love to serve one another (Gal. 5:13). The gift of a meal can be the beginning of transformation in the life of a man experiencing the trauma of the streets. We—our clients, staff, and volunteers—can serve and introduce the love of Christ to all that enter our doors. This generous donor has been used by God to positively affect thousands.
We are grateful!
THE GARY WAYNE ROLLINS FOUNDATION AT MY SISTER’S HOUSE, we have made considerable headway in changing the atmosphere where our ladies and children sleep, receive services, and ultimately make life transformations. From the time that they enter our doors, they are stepping onto the very floor of opportunity for new hope, transformation and newfound dignity. However, some parts of our building did not reflect this hopeful future aesthetically. The atmosphere where our clients live should reflect how we care deeply for their well-being. We are grateful that our partners of Transformation feel the same.
From the time that they enter our doors, they are stepping onto the very floor of opportunity for new hope, transformation and newfound dignity.
Replacing our flooring was an essential way to improve the look and feel of the campus, and The Gary Wayne Rollins Foundation has helped us to achieve this goal. The Rollins Foundation graciously granted us $50,000 to complete our main flooring project on this campus. Now, our floors are clean, durable, and ready to receive the feet of those that are being transformed daily. In addition, they remain partners in helping women and children receive the social services that they need daily promising financial support for the next three years.
Thank you to the Rollins Family for such a great partnership! DAY IN THE LIFE

GRANTS TO GREEN AND JAMES M. COX FOUNDATION THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, we have realized the health and financial benefits of having green utility systems throughout our facilities. We are improving our campus experience for our clients and employees, by loving and serving them more efficiently and saving in operating costs. We have started to convert our water, gas, and electrical systems to ones that are environmentally sustainable. This year, we are excited that we have started a partnership with Grants to Green, the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta, and the James M. Cox Foundation in our greening efforts. Atlanta Mission was a recipient of the Grants to Green Assessment Grant for our women and children’s campus, My Sister’s House. The Cox Foundation donated $25,000 towards our Green Sustainability Project at My Sister’s House. Grants to Green provided a comprehensive facility assessment that has
