Celebrate with us! This is Kevin’s story of true transformation!
When Kevin first came to our Christian Life Program, he was afraid, struggling with addiction, and had lost all sense of hope. What he needed was more than a roof over his head, he needed healing, community, and the love of Christ.
Over the past two years, Kevin has walked a powerful journey of recovery and gospel transformation. Today, he has a relationship with Jesus, is connected with his church, self-manages his daily life, has a job, and recently moved into permanent housing!
Thanks to our friends at Flourish Furnishings, Kevin’s new home was fully furnished, giving him dignity and comfort as he begins this new chapter.
📸 Pictured: Kevin (right) with his case managers Larry (middle) and Tristan (left), loading the moving truck as Kevin stepped into his new life.
Kevin is now an influential ambassador for Christ, a living reminder that restoration is possible, and no one is beyond finding hope in Jesus.
👏 Join us in celebrating Kevin’s incredible journey, and come see him at his CLP Graduation on October 21, 6–8:30 PM at Graceway Church.

Meet Larry, our Christian Life Program Case Manager at City Union Mission.
For nearly two years, Larry has coached men in recovery, walking alongside them, equipping them with the tools to succeed both in the program and in life.
Larry models what we call “strong love”: a balance of strength, compassion, and accountability. He challenges men when needed, creates space for trust and respect, and never gives up on those who struggle. His clients know he cares for them not just as program participants, but as people with value, dignity, and a future worth fighting for.
Outside of work, Larry is ambidextrous and enjoys playing all kinds of sports!
We are grateful for Larry’s unwavering dedication and the standard of excellence he sets every day. His impact on our Mission community is immeasurable.

We are grateful to our friends at FOX4 News Kansas City for sharing our story. 🙏
For 101 years, City Union Mission has served as a place of hope for Kansas City’s homeless and hurting neighbors. But today, our legacy is at risk. Demand for shelter, meals, and recovery programs is at record levels while resources are running low.
That’s why we’ve launched the 101 Years of Impact Campaign, calling on Kansas City to help keep this century-long legacy alive. Together, we can make sure the Mission continues to be a place of hope for generations to come.
