Reimers, CPA A community service product of Panaprint. 2 FROM THE Director’s Desk Amazing Love The Rescue Mission is a place filled with love. As we get to know our residents and watch them grow and change their lives, our love for them grows as well. During the year they are with us we get to know them, their values, beliefs, opinions and see how faith in Jesus Christ impacts them in a mighty way. We see them come into the program fragile, broken and desperate for a change. With guidance, prayer, instruction, devotion and lots of love, they graduate equipped to take the next step in life and with the tools to live a productive and Godly life. Having recovered from abuse, homelessness or addiction, God has prepared them to walk with Him, hear His word, live a positive life and know they are loved by Jesus as well as all of us at the Mission. As part of my regular evaluation of our programs I distribute a resident survey twice a year to get feedback on the program. One of the questions that I ask in this survey is “What do we do best?” Every time I do this survey I am overwhelmed by the number of answers that are based around love… “You love us!” or “I’ve never felt love before like I feel here.” February is a month when typically we think about love one day. At the Mission we think about love every day because our programs are structured around love and grace. Thank you for helping us to be a place of amazing love! If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 Erin M. Reimers President/CEO 3 Board Member SPOTLIGHT Blake Sullivan Blake Sullivan joined the Board of Directors at the Rescue Mission in 2016. He is a dedicated Board Member and devoted man of Christ. “God has put me in this place, at this time in history, to be a witness to people that He wants me to build a relationship with to deliver a radical and simple message. Come, see this man Jesus. He has changed my life and he can change yours too” he said. Blake grew up in LaGrange, Georgia. His father came from a home with two alcoholic parents who never showed him love, but by the grace of God he found the love of Jesus and exemplified that to Blake. He feels his life would have been very different had his father not met Jesus Christ and counted Him as his Lord and Savior. “Having Godly parents and going to church will not ensure you have a relationship with Jesus. It is up to you,” Blake said. It wasn’t until he was a teenager that he really learned about Jesus. “I knew about Jesus but I did not KNOW Jesus!” Blake attended the University of Georgia where he met his future wife, Isabelle. After graduating from UGA, he went on to get a business degree from Columbus State University, got married and started a small retail business in Americus with his dad. He has been married for 35 years, “Our marriage is based around Jesus and a covenant that we pledged to one another the day we were married. I am more in love with this woman today than the day we were married,” he said. After they got married like many couples they planned to start a family. They tried for several years but learned they were infertile. A group of pioneering doctors from Norfolk, Virginia agreed to help them. “We came to our church and asked the congregation to pray for us as we tried one last option. We asked for prayers that God would be with us regardless of the outcome and we went to Virginia and God answered our prayers, not once but twice.” Blake and Isabelle were blessed with two children who are both grown now and living in Texas. They were so thankful that they became a resource for other young couples experiencing infertility. After many years working with his father, Blake went on to Duke University where he earned a Master’s Degree in Forestry and by the mid-1980’s had started a forestry business and made that his career. In 2001 Blake was diagnosed with a pituitary brain tumor. After the diagnosis and two surgeries they moved to Macon in 2001 to be closer to doctors and give their children a better education. “Throughout my illness God has lavished me with good people. Many people in Macon have ministered to me and allowed me to minister to them. Jesus has taught me empathy, love and grace. Jesus has stayed in the center of my life.” When asked why he became involved in the Mission he stated “It is simply this – we look for love and significance to find meaning in our lives. No matter where we search everything will disappoint us and let us down at some point except for the love of Jesus Christ that we find when we believe in Him. The Mission is only successful because it puts Jesus above everything else and that is why I want to be associated with it and its work.” Blake is such an asset to the Mission and we are beyond blessed to have him as a member of our team. 4 Needs LIST STAFF Erin M.

I am continually amazed and comforted by the LOVE shown from this community throughout the year. We certainly see it more vividly during Christmas and Thanksgiving but this community gives consistently. God always shows up and provides everything needed. One of our graduates is preparing to move into her apartment and with that she has many needs. She left ALL of her belongings when she fled to seek safety for her and her three children. She only had a few of their clothes. She is completely starting over. As we began preparing for her move – we began praying that God would provide everything her family needs. HE is so faithful. We’ve received a dryer, kitchen table with chairs, a hutch, a bedroom set with mattresses, sofa and side tables, beds for the children and dressers. HE knows what is needed and He provides. HE knew she would finish this program. HE knew when and where she would move. HE provided all this family needed to become independent. By giving to our Bargain Center YOU are helping this family to become independent.

RESEGREGATION AND EDUCATIONAL APARTHEID IN MACON/BIBB COUNTY, GEORGIA: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME by ASHLEY PAIGE BRIANDI (Under the Direction of Delores D. Liston) ABSTRACT This study examined how the institution of the White private school system and the continued segregation of schools in Macon, GA has affected Macon’s Black community. Archival data included newspaper accounts of Macon’s educational climate from Brown v. Board of Education to present day. Interviews with five African-American women who lived in Macon during the time of integration showed through building “desegregation academies,” gerrymandering public school districts, overcrowding and underfunding public schools (which are already at a disadvantage because of their socioeconomic status), the bureaucracy of Macon has unequivocally sent the message to the Black community that they are not worthy of a decent education.
