Happy Easter! Today, along with Christians throughout the Western Church, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ is risen; Christ is risen, indeed!
At Back Bay Mission, we are an Easter people. We believe in the power of resurrection. We believe that the dead can come back to life. We see it all the time.
The low-income family who is scared that one bill will leave them without water and power finds life in the care they receive from our emergency assistance program. The homeless veteran who now has an apartment finds life in our supportive housing program. The low-income family who thought they were going to lose their home to disrepair finds life in our housing rehabilitation ministry.
The woman who thinks that the world has given up on her finds life when she walks through our doors. We are the place that will help her through her struggle today. We are the place that will help her on her journey out of poverty.
And we do all of this because, all those years ago, some women went to a tomb… and found it empty.
Happy Easter!
