2015 Impact Report | Page 3

Tony Cooper, executive director of The Jimmie Hale Mission for 25 years. Our 2015 Impact Report is a numerical representation of what a portrait of a changed life might look like. Portraits are painted pictures of individuals. Colors are used to paint pictures, and a variety of colors paint the most beautiful picture. God is the artist painting our portrait of what He sees our life can be. Our life is the canvase He is using. The paint represents life events with the different colors being situations and circumstances along with emotions and attitudes experienced. The artist’s brush is God working through people, His Word and His Spirit to accomplish His will. The end result is a beautiful portrait of what God, the Artist, creates. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” In our 2015 Impact Report, you see how God is working through our programs, services and ministries to address needs, instill hope and change lives. What a beautiful picture God is painting using our staff, donors and volunteers to produce portraits of those we serve! The Impact Report is an overview of what The Jimmie Hale Mission is doing to minister to the spiritual and physical needs of the men, women and children that come to us for help.
