OUR HISTORY

The mission was started November 18th, 1958 when Bill sr. and wife Betty held their first service. A few friends and some men off the streets met as they dedicated their work to the Lord. They had a few borrowed chairs and a book case for a pulpit. They sang till they were hoarse! That was the beginning of the "NEW LIFE RESCUE MISSION" The name was chosen because Christ offers all of us "NEW LIFE". Bill Kelly sr. died in 1993, and Betty retired in 2004 after suffering a stroke. Bill jr. stepped in as superintendent. Son John, and daughter Mary are also involved as volunteer and secretary, respectively.
