MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

OFFERING REFUGE AND RENEWAL THIS SUMMER

In Matthew 10:42, Jesus says, “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” This summer, we have the chance to embody this scripture and make a significant impact on the lives of our homeless neighbors.

Your support allows us to offer a refuge from the sweltering heat. Every simple act of kindness, no matter how small, carries immense power. Together, we can transform lives and offer hope to those in desperate need.

For the last 75 years, the Dallas community has come alongside as we face new challenges with the determination and trust in the Lord that has sustained our ministry for 75 years. We encourage you to pray for our Mission, take a tour to learn more and tell your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers about UGM Dallas.

Thank you for your continued partnership with us in this mission of compassion and grace.

Blessings,

STORY OF HOPE & HEALING

HAL

“I was homeless and got off the bus everyday and came to this place…and God made me a chaplain. God did not disappoint me, He helped me. I’ve been clean for 22 years. I’m thanking God that He gave me a new mind, allowed me to follow Him and do His will. I’m thankful and grateful to God that He would use me. I have the privilege to witness, to teach, to preach to people who were just like me.”

We appreciate any and all donations.

This summer, your generous donations to Union Gospel Mission Dallas are a lifeline for countless homeless individuals suffering under the relentless Texas sun. Did you know that concrete surfaces can reach temperatures of up to 150°F in the summer? Because of you, they now have a place to cool off, take a refreshing shower, enjoy a nutritious meal, and hear the life-transforming gospel. Your support is more than charity; it’s the opportunity for them to reclaim their lives and the hope of a new beginning.

RESCUING DALLAS’ HOMELESS from the Scorching Heat

UGM Dallas:

75 YEARS OF TRANSFORMING LIVES and Building Hope

Then & Now - A Story of God’s Faithfulness from Then Until Now

Lloyd’s father died when he was a very small boy and he was given a home in Father Flanigan’s Boys’ Town, but ran away at the age of nine. After growing up on his own, he married early but then his wife passed away leaving him with two babies. He ‘hit the skids’; but one night in 1955, he drifted into Union Gospel Mission. Here he met the Lord Jesus Christ and his life was completely changed. He returned to his children to become both father and mother to them, and was happy in his new life in Christ Jesus. He continued to visit the Mission several times after that night in 1955.
