Where did the time go? I cannot believe that it has already been a w
year since I was wrote the last Thanksgiving newsletter! I want to

Your prayers, financial support, in-kind gifts and time volunteered to help wit
some of the many things that have to be done, We are indeed thankful.
However, the day is drawing near, it seems like each year the time goes bfaster and faster. Actually we do look forward to the holidays, always with a
little anxiety and apprehension. We try to anticipate how many people we wi
serve, how much food it will take or money to sponsor the event and make it
real success. This year it is a real challenge because of the economic conditio
and more and more people coming to the city, it presents a real problem. We
serve everyone that comes to the Mission one way or another. We do not cou
success by how many we serve, but by how many we had the opportunity to s
the Gospel with and how many came to know Him as their Savior as a results
our Chapel service and personal witnessing.But, we do need help with food for our Thanksgiving dinner and for your
“volunteer help” (opportunities for you to serve are listed in the Directors
page of this newsletter). Many people would be without a Thanksgiving Di
if it were not for the Mission providing it. We want to continue to be the outle
help people during this season and we need YOU TO SUPPLY THE MEAN

Hello! As the newest member of the Anchorage Gospel
Rescue Missions staff, I would like to introduce myself.My name is Darlene Whaley and I am a volunteer with
AmeriCorps. My duty assignment is Kitchen Program
Training Manager and I am responsible for the dailyactivities of food production and instructing “ NewLife”
participants in their quest to gain meaningful employment
upon graduating from the program. I am instrumental in
helping them in obtaining the necessary certificationsfor employment in the culinary field, I also assist in
composing resumes and cover letters, and conducting job
searches. I secure guests speakers to present informationon relevant issues such as anger management, life skills,
how to conduct job interviews, workplace ethics and
nutrition and health.
My qualifications include owning and operating two
restaurants, twenty years comprehensive experience with
the management of staff, preparation and cooking of meals in the restaurant, catering and oilfield environment.
I was involved in the selection and training of staff, menu
planning and design, procurement, inventory control andfood and labor cost. I also have eleven years management
experience with Alaska Airlines I am currently attending
Wayland Baptist University seeking a degree inOccupational Education. I have signed up for a year of
service at the mission and my 90-day probation period
will be over October 28th.
The kitchen staff I am honored to work with performs und
some very challenging conditions. Menus can chan
at any moment as we are dependent on the kindness those who donate food items and equipment.. Food mu
be constantly accessed, rotated and used according to i
condition. We are forced to become very resourceful our culinary creations. This is a positive occurrence. I a
blessed to have some very skilled chef’s in the kitchen
help guide the less trained. When the “ NewLife” Disciplset forth in the community to contribute their knowledand skills, they will have an advantage over those train
with limitless products at their disposal. They will
able to accomplish creative menu planning with whis on hand They also succeed to create delicious mea
using less than perfect equipment. Our ovens are quite
challenge. They are hot in the back, cooler in the froand vary over 100 degrees in temperature. I am certain
not complaining. We are blessed by the kindness of othe
and we are thankful for all the equipment donations w
receive. We utilize everything and make it work.
The first assignment a Disciple Trainee is given is th
kitchen, so I have the responsibility to welcome theand begen the training. The most dif ficult part of m
assignment is losing Disciples. Some chose to return
their former lives, and I somehow feel I have failed themThis is a dilemma all new staffers experience and mu
seek to overcome.
I am extremely thankful that I have the opportunity
work with this group of people. I would recommend anor hire each and every one of them, given the opportunit
Our kitchen is shining clean and great care is taken meet all of the health codes. Please consider donatin
any useable items to our culinary program. The mo
equipment we have for training, the better qualified thwill become. The more varied food products they hav
to utilize, the more proficient they will become. Feel fr
to come in and donate your time in the kitchen. You cassist in serving meals and daily clean-up. I am lookin
forward to meeting you. Just pop in the kitchen and w
will give you the grand tour.

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
a day to be thankful What Does It Mean To You?
Are you really thankful for the things God has done for
you—for all of the blessings He has given you; are you
even aware that they come from God or do you think you
have done it on your own? Or, are you too busy to just
pause a moment and reflect on what you have and where
you are now. Are you thankful for the little things in life
that you just take for granted? What if all of the blessings
were stopped—because you never take time to thank God
for all of the little things He does for you. When you look
at other people that are less fortunate than yourself or see
person that is homeless do you stop and say, “but for the
grace of God, there go I’.
Please take time on this Thanksgiving Day and everyday
to give thanks to God. Let us become a thankful people.
We are thankful for you! Each day at the Mission we cou
our blessings as we see how God has touched your heart
and you share with us financially, with in-kind gifts and b
volunteering to help.
WE ARE SO BLESSEDWe are so blessed by the gifts from Your hand
I just cannot understand
Why you have loved us so much
We are so blessed, we just cannot find a way or
The words that can say,
Thank you Lord, for Your touch
When we are empty
You fill us until we over fl ow,
When we are hungry
You feed us and cause us to know;
We are so blessed,
Take what we have to bring;
Take it all everything,
Lord, we love You so very much.

“The Collapsible Man”
Hello! My name is Michael,
and I am “The Collapsible Man”.I call myself that because as I look
back on my life, I can see chains of events that led to my collapses andreconstructions, the cycle repeating
itself over and over……
I was born in Aurora, CO. in 1957.My father was an Air Force M.P., my
mother was a housewife. My earliest
memory is of the assassination of J.F.K. I remember the stunned
silence and then the tears of the
adults, and I remember how scary
and confusing it all seemed. It wasalso about this time that I noticed I
had a little brother. What I mean is,
he’d probably been crawling arounddown there for awhile, but his
presence didn’t really register with
me until that time. I remember thathe smelled funny and made strange
noises and had the annoying habit of
drooling on everything, but when he
smiled at me with that big toothless
grin, I loved him instantly. My bro!The rest of my early childhood
I remember only in bits and pieces,usually a memory involving a move
from one place to another, Seattle,
Bellingham, Blaine, and other pointsin northern Washington State.
My mom, by now, a single parent,
moved a lot in my baby years,but always provided for my
brother and I. And I don’t
remember it as a bad time but as anexciting and adventurous time.
Flash forward to Winnemucca,
NV in the late sixties. It is fromhere that I can piece together a more
complete picture of my life. Grade
school, Bridge Street, the premier of “Planet of the Apes” at the cinema,
and fishing in the Humboldt River.
Mom was hired as a “21” dealer atthe Winners Casino. In an industrythat was predominantly male at that
time, my mom had the rare honor
of being the first woman dealer inWinnemucca. She had her picture
in the paper even; go figure. I have
to mention here a man by the nameof Joe Mackie. He was the owner
of the Winners Casino and took care
of our little family for a time. He
gave my mom a job, got us into alittle place on Bridge Street, and
even bought my mom a car, so she
wouldn’t have to walk to work ortake a cab. What I remember most
about him was his policy of giving
any kid that needed it, a free haircutat the casino. I learned later that he
had connections to the “mob”, but I
didn’t hold that against him. In mybook he was a sweetheart of a guy.
His end came in the form of a smallplace crash that killed him and his
family. Reportedly it was a mafia“hit”.
My brother and I knew it was time
to move again when our mom pulledup in front of the house towing a U-
Haul trailer. Next stop Reno, NV,
where I started Junior High. Uh oh,moms got a load of cardboard boxes,
must be time to move. Sparks next,
then Fallon and here’s where thereal story of “The Collapsible Man”
begins…..
I started High School in Fallon,
NV, and soon found myself hangingout with the “wrong crowd”. The
school was divided into two factions,
or classes, of students other thannerds, who in fact had no class. You
either belonged to the cowboys or the
surfers (hippies), and since cowboy
boots hurt my feet I felt compelledgrow my hair long and start smokin
grass. I also started dressing
bellbottom pants, polyester prishirts, and platform shoes, but w
won’t go there. I probably wou
have been better off just slipping oa pair of cowboy boots and callin
it good, but my dignity and m
feet forbade it. Anyway, four-incplatforms are much cooler. I thithere’s a picture of me in one
those “outfits”, floating around o
there somewhere. I hope it nevfalls into the wrong hands as
would most certainly be used as
tool for blackmail.I didn’t realize it at the tim
but what I thought was innoce
experimentation with drugs an
alcohol would set the pattern fmy life of repeated collapse. I wi
I could go back to that point in m
life, knowing what I know now“The Collapsible Time Traveler?”
guess not.
By the time my twenty-first birthdrolled around, I had enlisted, an
was booted out of the Army. I w
married and had a new son. Andwas generally just partying my w
through life. But on my twenty-firbirthday, my father-in-law got me
job as a “21” dealer at the NevaClub in Laughlin, NV. This was
prove a turning point in the story
“The Collapsible Man”. My incomincreased greatly along with m
appetite for gambling, booze, an
drugs. This soon proved to be tmuch for my wife, and she prompt
divorced me.
After my divorce, I re-enlistin the Army and was discharge
honorably, three years later. Ba
to Nevada and the casinos f
me. That’s where the action wathe gambling, the booze, and t
drugs. For the most part I work
as a “21” and roulette dealer. Buwas soon asked if I wanted to lea
to be a “craps” dealer. This wou
prove to be another turning poi

in my life. I excelled at the gameand this proved to be both a blessing
and a curse. A blessing in that I was
pretty much guaranteed a job in anycasino in the state. A curse in that
it left me unaccountable, uncaring,
and dissatisfied. These years are ablur to me. A casino hopping, booze
fogged, drug induced blur. Frankly,
I’m amazed that I survived.In 1994 I was dealing cards at
a casino in Wendover, NV when the
hostess from the Fun Bus sat at my
table. Her first words to me were,“Are you married?” I replied that I
wasn’t married. Her next words so
startled me, that to this day I think of them and smile. She said, “Do
you want to be?” That woman’s
name was Virginia and a year later
she was to become my wife and bestfriend.
After a somewhat rocky start, which
involved a drug arrest, probation,and the suspension of our gaming
cards, we ended up in Mesquite, NV,
where we both got jobs as dealers.Within six months we had both been
promoted to pit boss. We were on
the fast-track now, to success orfailure, depending on how we played
the hand. Given “The CollapsibleMan’s” track record, I’ll let you take
a guess as to how this little scenarioplayed out. Give up?
In 2002 my wife developed
chronic neck pain and later hadto have surgery. The outcome of
this was to give our household a
constant and steady stream of somevery potent pain pills, and it only
took a little while for the both of us
to become hopelessly addicted.I’ve discovered that you can only
keep up a juggling act for so long
before the items you are juggling
begin falling to the pavement.What had once started as a dream
realized was quickly turning into a
nightmare. Once again, gambling,booze, and drugs were replacing
car, house payments, family, and
work as priorities in my life. I was
losing it all. There probably was apoint where I could have stopped
and salvaged a little of my life, but
if nothing else, “The CollapsibleMan” is consistent.
It all came crashing down in
December or 2003 when I wasarrested and charged with fraud in
a gaming establishment, cheating
for short. I’d gone to work drunk one night and was caught oncamera giving the casino’s money
away. They frown on that for some
reason. The desert around Vegas issupposedly full of unmarked graves
of people who did what I did, but I
got off lucky with just, a one to foursentence. Lucky me!
My wife filed for divorce in
January 2004 and it was then that I
thought I’d reached bottom. Lockedup, the love of my life kicking me
to the curb, my life ruined (again),
it couldn’t get any worse than this Ithought. I was wrong.
Moms are a wonderful thing.
Mine was always there for me.Mine wrote me in prison and kept
my spirits up. Mine put money on
my books. Mine never gave up onme. And mine died of cancer, while
instead of being at her side whereI should have been, I was serving
a term in prison, for some stupidmistake. It was the worst experience
of my life, getting that call from my
brother. I was summoned to theprison chaplain’s of fice, and handed
the receiver. “Oh Mike, we lost our
mom”. My brother’s words cut tothe heart of me, and I still hurt to this
day. I miss her so much.
I was released from prison inOctober 2006, dropped off at the
Vegas bus station wearing prison
blues; the $23 “gate money” burning
a hole in my pocket. I had twochoices. Go to the halfway house
that they had arranged for me, or go
to the bar. Halfway house or bar?Halfway house or bar? When I woke
up shivering on the cold pavement
the next morning, I knew I had a
serious problem. “The CollapsibFool”.
What happens in Vegas doesn
always stay in Vegas. I left that towsix months later, a little wiser, a litt
more humble, and a lot skinnier. Pl
a few scars on my head to reminme of the “good time” that I ha
there. My destination, Peoria, A
to enter in a rehab program. I wasnthere long though before I becamdisheartened and asked my broth
to buy me a plane ticket to come u
to Alaska. Almost immediatelyfell back into the lifestyle that h
become the bane of my existenc
Drinking and drugging.I entered the “ NewLif
Discipleship Training program
The Rescue Mission in the midd
part of 2007. After what I lito refer to as “false starts”, I fin
myself settling in, growing mo
comfortable with my sobriety, anmore importantly, growing closer
God. I’ve still got a long way to
though, in both my sobriety, and mknowledge of Him, but at least now
I’m traveling in the right direction
I’ve never been a religious persoand have always had trouble wi
the concept of a God of the universBut through my studies here at th
Mission, I’ve come to believe thsuch a God is not only possible b
quite probable. I often pray th
He would reveal himself to me a way that I could recognize an
understand, so that I would know H
is present in my life and that He God. By faith……………..
May God Bless You All

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
I love Thee, because Thou hast loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright,
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
Our Prayer of ThanksWe humble bow before you Lord
On this Thanksgiving Day,
To lift our prayers of gratitude
For all Your caring ways, As You have blessed us abundantly, Lord,
Let us remember, too,
That we should share with those in need
As You would have us do.
Around this festive table today
Are those we hold most dear,
And in our midst Your, presence, Lord,
Seems so very near.
We are thankful for this land we love,
For sod, and sky and treeFor Pilgrims who braved unknown seas
That all may worship free.
We are thankful for each blessing, Lord,
You send along our way;
But may our greater “thanks” be shown
In praising You each day.

The End of an Era
Although all of the Graduation Ceremonies held
at the Mission are important milestones in the live of our Disciples; the one celebrated on the 10 th of October
was even more special in that it symbolizes the end of
one chapter and the start of a new chapter in the historyof the Rescue Mission. Since its conception in 1965the Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission has had a 12
month program to help end the cycle of homelessness
in the Anchorage community. Through the years thename of this program has changed but the core value
has always remained the same. Jesus Christ is the only
way! Like the name the method of directing men to thisimportant truth has also changed over the years. New
counseling techniques have come and gone, Program
Directors and their individual philosophies have come
and gone, Executive Directors and their varying degreeof commitment to excellence have come and gone, the
secular establishment has increased its efforts to extinguish
Gods word in our society, and the community’s view of homeless men, women, and children have taken a radical
turn for the worse. As a result of all of these variables
most Missions across the country have gravitated from12 to 24 month programs in an attempt to give those men
who are actively seeking Christ an opportunity to build an
even stronger spiritual foundation then before.Our Executive Director, Brother Don, has
expressed his vision for a more object orientated trainingprogram from years. I shall not speculate on why he felt the
time was right when a little over a year ago he instructedme to develop and implement a 24 month Discipleship
Training Program for the Rescue Mission. That program
is now fully in place and the Graduation Ceremony heldon October, 10, 2008 was the last 12 month graduate the
Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission will produce. The end
of an Era!
We no longer consider ourselves a rehabilitatioprogram or a recovery program. Most of the men wh
come to our door have never been habilitated therefo
rehabilitation is not possible. Most of the men who comto our door have never been healthy in body, spirit, an
mind at the same time therefore recovery is not possibl
What we are now focusing on is Training men in tways of Christ and this begins with restoring a broke
relationship with Christ.
The first phase of our training will focus on thDisciples identity. To learn who we are in Christ Jesuto learn new ways of relating to ourselves and others,
recognize destructive behaviors, and to take ownership
our behavior. The new Disciples are encouraged to adjuand settle into their new community and to set new goa
consistent with Discipleship training.
The second phase is purging. Disciples will leato recognize false beliefs, negative behaviors, and critic
thinking errors and the effect they’ve had on our lives.
The Third phase, Freedom, is designed to help the Discip
recognize, understand, and become empowered by thHoly Spirit.
The fourth phase, Stewardship, will help Discipl
with Money Management Skills classes in order recognize, obedience to Christ can be tested by how w
handle money, Money must be controlled or it will contr
us, God is pleased with regular, consistent giving. ThDisciple will be instructed in résumé writing, and how
attain gainful employment.
The fifth and final phase, Transition, whelp Disciples to establish a life outside the Missio
Jesus encourages all believers to grow in relationshicommitment, and obedience to Him. This is the essence
how to live a Christian life. Our relationship, commitmenand obedience are done out of love, not constraint.
When a Disciple leaves the Mission he wi
through the power of Christ, be a new man. A Christiman of integrity, honor, and dignity who will not shy aw
from making the right decisions even if those decisio
cost him something in the end,
