“I Gain More Than I Give . . .”

As a Christian, Kevin Clothier wanted to use his gifts to serve others and bring glory to Christ.

He teaches a creative writing course for guests here at the Mission to give them something they can be proud of and to show God’s work unfolding in their lives.

Kevin designed the course to suit various skill levels. It starts with simple journals chronicling their days here at the Mission and significant events of the past. These journal entries are then refined and the final pieces are read aloud during chapel services.

“For me, the most exciting aspect of this process is to watch the men begin to grasp God’s redemptive purposes as their work comes together. Inevitably each writer sees how his own creative expression fits into the grand scheme of God’s plan.”
