Phoenix, Arizona — According to state and local economic development sources Phoenix Rescue Mission plans to invest $1,368,591.60 to build out new space in Phoenix. The company plans to occupy the new space at 1801 S 35th Ave in Phoenix, on or about April 1, 2022. According to the company website The Phoenix Rescue Mission is a place of hope, healing, and new beginnings for men, women, and children in our community struggling with homelessness, addiction, and trauma. We provide Christ-centered, life-transforming solutions to persons facing hunger, homelessness, addiction, and trauma. The Phoenix Rescue Mission had very humble beginnings. In 1952, LeRoy Davidson, a 28-year-old Phoenix house painter, attended a service where he talked with Jimmy Carr from California about the need for a Christian mission in Phoenix. Jimmy, LeRoy, and LeRoys wife, Grace, felt that the Lord had laid it on their hearts to save the souls of the men struggling on the streets of Phoenix. The first evening of operation, a simple meal was prepared to be served after the gospel was shared. The Davidsons eight-year-old son, Stanley, helped his mother make plain sandwiches of bread and bologna to be served with Kool-Aid. About 15 migrant workers and vagrants attended, sitting on wooden planks supported by paint cans. Grace named their new venture the Phoenix Gospel Mission. The Mission grew so quickly that it had to move twice within two years. In 1954, six local businessmen incorporated the Phoenix Gospel Mission at a location on South 3rd Street, on the current location of Chase Field.
