A couple of weeks ago the Southern Legislative Conference met in Winston-Salem. It was our privilege to provide accommodations for one of the legislators. His name was Tom Riner. Mr. Riner has a unique ministry of staying and serving in rescue missions in the different cities where the conference is held. This year he chose to stay with us in the New Life Center. He spoke to our men in two separate chapel services and answered many questions.

History

in

During the early months of 1967, several pastors and businessmen became burdened for the homeless and hurting men in Winston-Salem and determined that there was a real need for a rescue mission ministry in the city. Their first organizational meeting was held on February 22, 1967, and by June of that same year, a building on Trade Street was obtained, and Rev. Neal Wilcox was chosen as the first director.
