Rescue mission leaders from across the United States—who provide free services for thousands in need—were in Washington, D.C., March 17 to 19 to address public policy decisions that could slow or halt their ability to provide valuable services. The 100-year-old Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM) organized the gathering.
