Union Rescue Mission- Little Rock

Union Rescue Mission- Little Rock Sharing faith, hope, and love since 1946. Through our faith based live in recovery programs lives are being changed.

Our Mission: We provide a place of refuge for the abused, recovery for the addicted and rescue for the hopeless through the transforming love of Jesus Christ. The Nehemiah House reaches out to the those caught in addiction, struggling in homelessness, and the disadvantaged men of Arkansas with the compassion of Jesus Christ. Those who are struggling with chemical dependency and other addictions find hope and support to break the shackles of their addictions and begin to rebuild their lives. Dorcas House provides help to women and children experiencing domestic violence and those caught addiction. We provide emergency services like food, shelter, clothing and crisis intervention to more than 400 women and children annually. We offer a faith based Domestic Violence Recovery Program and a Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program led by licensed Christian therapists. We also offer longer-term living arrangements available through our Work Program once finished with Recovery programs. The curriculum that we offer goes beyond educating women about the cycle of violence and addiction but rather addresses root problems through intensive group therapy. There is counseling and therapy provided for the children as well as family group therapy. Our program encourages women to address deep-seeded pain and suffering like childhood sexual abuse, co-dependence and depression. By addressing the deeper issues and providing education on how to overcome those issues we see lives changed and unhealthy cycles broken. We work cooperatively with law enforcement and court officials to promote the protection and safety of battered women and children. For more information on our Recovery Programs through the Nehemiah House or the Dorcas House call (501) 370-0808 or go to our website at www.urmissionlr.org. If you or someone you know someone needs help, then please call the national domestic violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233); and she will be directed to the appropriate shelter or safe house.

💍 Testimony Tuesday: Celebrating the Beautiful Story God Is Writing in Kathryn’s Life 💍

Today’s Testimony Tuesday is extra special because we get to celebrate the incredible journey of Kathryn Miller — now Kathryn Burks!

This past weekend, Kathryn was married in a small, intimate ceremony, marking the beginning of a brand-new chapter filled with hope, healing, and God’s perfect timing.

Kathryn’s story is one of transformation. She has walked through deep valleys, done the hard work of healing, and stepped boldly into the calling God placed on her life. Now, as our Director of Domestic Violence Recovery, she pours that same hope into the women she serves every single day.

And in the midst of her faithful journey, God brought her an amazing man who cherishes her and walks alongside her with love and respect. Her marriage is more than a celebration — it is a testimony of restoration, redemption, and answered prayer.

Kathryn, your life reminds us that God’s plans are good, His timing is perfect, and His restoration reaches far beyond what we can imagine. Congratulations, Kathryn and Jake. Your family at the Union Rescue Mission wishes you love and blessings in your marriage!

🎄Get Involved with Dorcas House Christmas! 🎄

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and YOU can help make it even brighter for the women and children at the Dorcas House! ✨

There are so many ways to give back this Christmas, whether through time, treasure, or talent:

🎁 Adopt a Resident for Christmas – With a gift of around $150, you can make sure one of our women receives thoughtful presents that make her feel seen, loved, and celebrated this season. You can gift the cash or receive their wishlist and do the shopping yourself!

🧸 Donate to Our Toy Closet – We’re collecting toys for the children in our community so that every child can experience the joy of Christmas morning. Last year we were able to help 160 children and we would love to be able to do it again this year!

🍪 Host a Christmas Event – Bring holiday cheer by leading a fun activity like cookie decorating, ornament making, or singing Christmas carols.

🍽️ Serve or Sponsor a Meal – Share the love of Christ by providing a warm holiday meal for our residents.

🎁 Volunteer Behind the Scenes – Help us wrap gifts, sort donations, or organize supplies. (Did you know November through April is our busiest time of the year because of the holidays and spring cleaning?)

Every act of service and generosity helps us remind our residents — many of whom are starting over after trauma and loss — that they are deeply loved and never forgotten.

❤️A Heartfelt Thank You to Elizabeth Childress!

We want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to our very own Elizabeth Childress, Director of Residential Services, for the incredible work she does behind the scenes on our social media accounts! 🙌

Elizabeth wears many hats here at the Mission, but she willingly took on this role because of her heart to share the goodness of God and the miraculous work He is doing in and through the Union Rescue Mission every single day. 💜

If you’ve ever managed social media, you know it’s no small task — planning, capturing photos, gathering stories, posting updates, and engaging with our amazing community takes time, creativity, and dedication. Elizabeth does all of this with such grace and joy, always pointing everything back to Jesus. ✝️

Elizabeth, this post is a little surprise — but we hope you know how deeply grateful we are for you! Thank you for using your gifts to help spread the message of hope, redemption, and transformation that God is writing through this ministry. We love you and appreciate the countless hours you pour into making sure the world sees just how faithful our God is! 💕

💙 Serving with Purpose at the “Out of the Darkness” Community Walk 💙

Last Saturday, a team of men from the Nehemiah House volunteered at the Annual American Foundation for Su***de Prevention’s “Out of the Darkness” Community Walk.

They spent the morning helping set up the event — moving tables, hanging banners, and making sure everything was ready for participants coming together to raise awareness and bring hope to those affected by su***de. 🕊️

While serving, our men also shared about the mission of Union Rescue Mission and how we work every day to bring light into dark places by offering hope, healing, and restoration to those struggling with addiction, homelessness, and despair.

It was a powerful reminder that service isn’t just about giving — it’s about connecting, sharing stories of redemption, and walking alongside others who are fighting their own battles.

🙏 We’re proud of these men for representing the heart of the Mission so well.

🎓💜 Graduation Night Memories | October 30th, 2025 💜🎓

What an incredible night of celebration, testimonies, and transformation!
We’re still smiling from Thursday’s graduation at Central Baptist Church in North Little Rock, where we honored both our Dorcas House and Nehemiah House graduates.

The evening was filled with laughter, tears, and joy as each graduate received their certificate — a symbol of the hard work, faith, and perseverance that carried them through their recovery journey. 🙌

After the ceremony, everyone gathered for snacks, hugs, and fellowship. Families reunited, friends celebrated, and our staff got to witness the beauty of God’s restoration once again. ❤️

These photos capture just a glimpse of what this milestone means — lives changed, hope restored, and futures reclaimed.

✨ Join us in celebrating each of our graduates in the comments below and continue to pray for them as they step into the next chapter of their journey.

💬 Testimony Thursday | Nehemiah House Graduates 💬

We’re closing out this powerful week with Testimony Thursday, featuring our Nehemiah House graduates — three incredible men whose lives have been completely transformed through faith, hard work, and community. 🙌

In this video, you’ll hear how each of them found hope where there once was despair, purpose where there once was pain, and brotherhood where there once was isolation. Their stories remind us that God is still in the business of restoration — and that no life is too far gone for redemption.

Every testimony shared is a reflection of what happens when someone chooses surrender and allows God to take control. These men are living proof that the Nehemiah House isn’t just a program — it’s a place where lives are rebuilt from the inside out. 🕊️

👏 Join us in congratulating these graduates and celebrating all that God has done in their lives!

You can help more men like them find hope and healing by:

🌸💜 Thank You, The Giving Garden! 💜🌸

Our hearts (and our halls!) are overflowing with gratitude — and with flowers! 🌷🌼

Thanks to The Giving Garden, our home at the Dorcas House was filled with stunning floral arrangements this last month. This incredible organization gives new life to gently used flowers from weddings, events, and special occasions by donating them to residential facilities like ours.

The beauty and fragrance of these blooms brightened every room and lifted every heart — from our residents to our staff. It’s amazing how something as simple as fresh flowers can remind our ladies that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

We are so thankful for The Giving Garden’s kindness and creativity in spreading joy one bouquet at a time. Feel free to bring more flowers any time! 🌺

🎥💜 Testimony Tuesday (and Thursday!) 💜🎥

This week, we’re doing something special — not just one Testimony Tuesday, but a Testimony Thursday too! That’s because we have so many powerful stories to share from our final graduation of 2025.

Today, it’s all about the ladies! 💪✨
We celebrated nine incredible women from the Dorcas House who completed our recovery program and are walking boldly into the next chapter of their lives.

Here’s the video compilation of their testimonies that was shown during Thursday’s graduation ceremony — a beautiful reminder of God’s grace, redemption, and the power of perseverance.

💜 Grab a tissue before you hit play… this one’s a tear-jerker!
