Transcript of 2010-2011 Annual Report
Olympia Union Gospel Mission
2011 Graduation & Annual Meeting
Lacey Community Center
November 10, 5:30 p.m.
The OUGM exists as an Evangelical Christian Rescue Mission, serving
Thurston County, to share the good news of life in Jesus Christ by meet-
ing the physical, mental and spiritual needs of individuals in crisis.
The Olympia Union Gospel Mission began its work with the homeless and needy in 1995 through a street
ministry outreach. Sandwiches and hot drinks were offered in an atmosphere of love and acceptance. Our
goal was and still is to share God's love in practical ways.

My name is TIM CONSTUBLE and I am 45 years old with 4 children and 6 grand-
children. I am in the process of rebuilding my relationships with my children and
breaking the cycle of destruction that has been passed down for generations in
my family.
I have lived with schizophrenia and as a result I turned to drinking and isolating
myself. I was living in a house with three other people who tragically died. I knew
that if I kept up my lifestyle I would be next; I needed help and the Lord was the
only one who could help me.
I entered the Mission Transformation Program and have learned about hope.
Not the hope I win the lottery, but realistic hope that God will restore to me what
was taken away. Hope has led me to experience joy; it isn’t some mythical emo-
tion that the Bible talks about, but I could experience joy even in the midst of
suffering. In the process I have faith that God is working in my life and that he in
control when I allow him to be.
EUGENE BROWN is 26 years old and the father of two children. He graduated
from the Men’s Transformation Program last fall and wed the children’s mom,
Robin, earlier this year. Since graduating from the program, Eugene struggled
for some time, but has since worked through issues. He has steady employ-
ment at Subway and is pursuing a welding certification at South Puget Sound
Community College.
SUSAN HAAGENSON is 44 years old with two children. She came from a good
home, but began drinking in her teens, spiraling out of control into adulthood.
Her life consisted of poor choices and lack of responsibility. She came to the pro-
gram when she almost died from a mix of alcohol and prescription drugs. She
knew she needed a life recovery program, not just a drug and alcohol treatment
program. “The Mission’s program is the best thing that has happened to me in
my life,” says Susan, “ and I will be eternally grateful for the miracles that have
happened to me and my family.” Susan is attending online classes at Gray’s Har-
bor Community College and will be graduating from the Transformation Program
in 2012.
JENNIFER CROFTON was living a life on the edge; looking at five years of prison
time due to forging to support her daily drug habit. Her husband had deserted
her, and the Children’s Protection Services had taken away her children. She
heard about the Women’s Life Transformation Program and was accepted into
the program in 2009. Jennifer graduated this past spring, clean, prison time
dropped, and all five boys returned home. She is living on her own and attends
South Puget Sound Community College with plans to work with teens at risk.

OLYMPIA UNION GOSPEL MISSION ANNUAL MEETING
REPORT ON MISSION ACTIVITIES,
FISCAL YEAR 9-1-2010 THROUGH 8-31-2011
NOVEMBER 10, 2011
The Fiscal year ending in August of 2011 was marked by energy focusing on the following events:
1. Changes in Board membership. After serving for 7 years as president, Mike Goheen has resigned to relocate to Florida, and after
serving for 4 years Jack Belmont has resigned to pursue other interests. The newest Board member is Larry Baker who joined the
Board in September of 2011.
2. Initiating a Capital Fundraising Campaign to construct a 25,000 square foot Life Transformation Center on Mission owned proper-
ty shown in Figure 1. The Life Transformation Center is designed to house approximately 20 men and 20 women with and without
children on two separate floors as well as provide approximately 5,000 square feet of future expansion space for Mission programs.

After one year of activity, the Mission has “three year” pledges totaling $502,000 and cash received of $86,215. As the local
economy has struggled even more this year, it has become increasingly difficult to find investors willing to commit to helping
fund the Life Transformation Center. The Board and Staff are becoming reconciled to a much longer time line to complete fund-
ing of the project than originally intended and will hold a retreat in January, 2012 to consider the broader implications on the
Mission of delaying construction. It has also become apparent that a greater commitment of resources for the Marketing and
Communications Department will be required to sustain the Capital Fundraising activities.

Growth in Services
The cuts in the Basic Health Program have had a tremendous impact on the (relatively) new chronic disease medical clinic which
opened in 2009. Visits in the last twelve months more than doubled from 375 in fiscal year 2010 to 773 in the 2011 fiscal year. As a
result of the influx in new patients, the clinic experienced a 49% cost over run for medications, diagnostic imaging and clinical la-
boratory testing. Fortunately, the Mission was able to obtain Foundation funding to cover the costs. As of November, 2011, 413
patients consider the clinic their medical home for primary care and more are applying every day.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As shown in the Table I below, God has been very gracious to the Mission in constantly matching income to the needs of the
Mission. The large jump in income in 2008 came at a time when the Mission was remodeling 2,600 square feet of space in the
downtown building to create the Health Services Center.
Table I
Budgeted and Actual Income
Mission income and utilization of the income for the 9-1-10 through the 8-31-11 fiscal year is shown on page 8. As they have
since the founding of the Mission in May of 1995, donations from individuals continue to sustain operations. On a cash basis,
76% of income was used for program expenses. Management and fund raising constitute 24% of Mission expenditures. This is
up slightly from the historic 18% to 21% because of the added fundraising costs associated with the Capital Fundraising effort.
Budgeted income and expenses for Fiscal Year 9-1-11 through 8-31-12 are also shown on page 8. To be conservative, the in-
come from individuals is projected as slightly less than 2010 - 2011 to reflect the economic conditions. Management and Fund
Raising expenses for the budgeted year are held at 24% to reflect the cost of fundraising for the Life Transformation Center.
Fifteen, plus, years of serving has taught us that if we seek God’s will and are faithful to execute it; He will bless the efforts of
all of us associated with the Olympia Union Gospel Mission!
