History |
|
|
The ministry was founded in 1960 by a man who was a rodeo
rider in bondage to alcohol who came to know the lord at the Haven of Rest
in Arkon. Ohio. That organization let this ministry use that name. Several
businessmen in Anderson, SC, realized a need for a place for men who had
nowhere or no one to turn to, a haven where they could find a warm meal
and a warm place to stay and be touched by the love of Jesus Christ.
Therefore a rescue evolved into not only that but long-term
Christ-centered, Bible based programs for men and women with any
life-dominating problems.
The Haven of Rest mission was founded in 1960 to provide shelter, food and
clothing to homeless men in the Anderson, South Carolina area. That
ministry has now grown to include four in-house ministry areas and four
thrift stores.
The Haven of Rest ministries is a non-profit, tax exempt,
non-denominational organization. The ministries are supported by monetary
and other charitable contributions.
The goal of the ministry is that every participant will desire to give his
or her life to Christ and turn to Him for freedom from addictions and hope
for the future.
