First Free Rockford has enjoyed a generations-long partnership with Rockford Rescue Mission. This month marks the Mission’s 60th anniversary, and Tuesday’s Restoration Celebration was a most-appropriate way to celebrate. It’s a special, annual evening to honor and celebrate the people who have graduated from the Mission’s Life Recovery Program.

Watch below as Auggie, Cathy, Paula C., Joe, Paula W. and Shane tell their stories. And please pray for them as they step forward into the next chapter of their lives.
