eReceipts Now Available
Electronic receipts will come to those who request them as
soon as that system is in place. You may receive another paper receipt or two,
but hopefully no more than that. The receipt will contain the same information
as the paper receipt, but will represent a significant cost savings to the
Rescue Mission. Currently the cost of producing and mailing a paper receipt is
82 cents each. The cost of each e-Receipt is 10 cents. Our desire is to be the
best possible stewards of the resources God provides to us through you.
If you wish to begin receiving e-Receipts for your donations,
simply email the following information to
alan@prm.info.
- Account Number (a 3 or 4 digit number that can be found on
any of your PRM paper receipts)
- First Name, Last Name, Full Address
- Email address where the e-Receipt should be sent
If you wish to continue receiving paper receipts then you do
not need to do anything.
Please call 380.6909 if there are any questions.

“COA 2010 - Faithfulness"
Not many months ago, as I was walking down Warwick Boulevard
in Newport News, I was hailed by a driver passing by, and we had a visit. He had
to tell me his name, as I had not seen him in several decades. How delighted I
was to be talking to a camper from the 1970’s! A fine-looking man in his
forties, Paul Hubert now practices law on the Peninsula. On that day he came
down for lunch, and we even spent some time looking at old camp pictures, some
that included Paul and his brother, Mark, when they were no more than thirteen
years old (picture to the left). It was such a blessing to re-connect with this
“one-time kid” who was now a husband and father. He went so far as to make
contact with another camper whom we still keep up with from that same era, and
whose children have also attended camp.
In April Paul stopped by the Mission just after noon. We were
about to have lunch, and he accepted our invitation to stay and dine with us.
Faith, who was only 6 or 8 years old when Paul was a camper, happened to be
working that day, and she got to visit with Paul at lunch. We talked about him
and his brother growing up near the Mission, coming to the camp, and where their
lives have led since then (his brother, by the way, is in Louisiana working on
the oil rigs).
During the lunch visit Pat asked Paul if he got saved at Camp
- his unhesitating answer was, “Yes, yes I did.” My emotions (always too close
to the surface for my comfort) made it difficult for me, but I managed, in spite
of the lump in my throat, to recall Paul’s words from Camp Open Arms in “the big
woods.” He and Mark received Christ the same night at chapel, and shortly
thereafter Paul remarked, “Now we are brothers twice!” I hope never to forget
that night and those blessed words.
Before Paul left, he slipped some money into my hand to
sponsor a child to camp this summer. Once again, my emotions swelled. How good
is God to send this man by to encourage our hearts, stir our memories, and bless
us with a gift to help a needy child have the experience he had all those years
ago! Thank you, Lord!
