Name: Ken
& Sue Clarkston
Mission Agency: The Gospel Mission
|
Ken has served as the Chaplain and Executive Director for
The Gospel Mission since 1985. His wife, Sue, has worked alongside
him during that time. They coordinate a staff of 250 volunteers to
make the mission run like a well-oiled machine.
Background
The Gospel Mission operates a comprehensive inner-city
mission near downtown Dayton, Ohio. It is open to men and women, young
and old, of any race, belief, or circumstance. Their program begins with
the necessities such as 80,000 nutritionally balanced meals served per
year. But their focus is to break the cycle of shattered relationships
and alienation. Restored people can apply God’s love and power to
strengthen their lives. Renewed, they can regard others as more
important than themselves. Many are motivated to share God’s blessings
in many ways. Lives are being changed daily by meeting Jesus Christ and
accepting Him as Lord and Savior at The Gospel Mission. Practical help
is physical, emotional, and spiritual.
What they do
A daily chapel service is followed by a well-balanced
meal at The King’s Table. Recreational times for all ages are
preceded by Bible study, which gets the Word out to the street quickly.
Adults meet several times a week for a detailed study of the Word of God
at the Nehemiah Bible Institute. Twice a week, youngsters are
ministered to through the Joy Club and Children’s Church.
Clothing and household furnishings are distributed from their
warehouse. Job placement services are provided to assist people in
getting back on their feet. They have many other special programs as
well; visit their website to learn more!
History
Doors were first opened July 16, 1912
by Reverend and Mrs. Peter Quartel. The Location was different, a
soap box and a store front downtown on East Fifth Street, but those in
need were always welcomed and told of the love of God. During those
early years and through the Depression the mission was as it is now.
"A light that shineth in darkness."
