Mary Lee — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:11:05 +0000

Thanks to a contribution from an anonymous donor, Macon Rescue Mission residents experienced a big screen recovery success story when they were treated to a special preview of the movie “Home Run” on Saturday, April 20 at the 9:30 a.m. at AmStar 16 Theatre located on Zebulon Road.
“Home Run” inspired and motivated the men as they champion their own second chance at healing and renewal. “Many of our residents have expressed great interest in seeing ‘Home Run’ because it features a baseball player sentenced to eight weeks in a recovery program in his hometown. He is required to coach a local youth baseball team which motivated him to find freedom from his past and hope for his future. The unexpected second chance sends him on a powerful journey of transformation, redemption and hope,” said Jeff Nicklas, Executive Director for the Mission. Daily, the Mission sees lives transformed as residents regain their self-sufficiency and overcome tremendous obstacles.
