💙 Shower Power 💙

It all started with one simple question: “Where do you get clean?” 🚿 When Teresa Renkenberger met a man experiencing homelessness, she was heartbroken to learn he hadn’t had a shower in over a year. Determined to make a difference, she bought a box truck, transformed it into a mobile shower, and Shower Power was born.

Fast forward five years, and this 100% volunteer-led nonprofit has provided nearly 8,000 showers to those in need. But they don’t stop there! Every Friday, Shower Power offers:

✅ Free showers 🚿
✅ Hot meals 🍽️
✅ Clothing & hygiene items 🧴👕
✅ Friendship & encouragement ❤️

📍 Find them at: 836 South Commerce Street, Jackson, MS

They also provide emergency shelter during extreme weather, help obtain state-issued IDs and birth certificates, and supply tents, sleeping bags, and warm clothing to those without a home.

Want to help? Shower Power always needs donations of men’s jeans (sizes 32x32 & 34x32), backpacks, sneakers, work boots, new socks, undergarments, heavy coats, and bottled water.

✨ “We love people back to life.” ✨ Read more about Shower Power in our January issue and join the movement at showerpower.ms or follow them on Facebook.

Mercy House

Alex was one of 25 million Americans battling drug addiction, but to his son Tobias, he was simply Dad. For years, Alex described himself as a “deadbeat drug addict,” rarely present in his son’s life. But in 2017, everything changed when Alex arrived at Mercy House Adult & Teen Challenge in Georgetown, Mississippi.

At his lowest point—homeless, estranged from loved ones, and physically weak—Alex found hope and healing through Mercy House, a 14-month residential Christian discipleship program. It was in their chapel that Alex says his life was transformed when “Jesus stepped in.”

Since 2010, Mercy House has helped over 2,200 men overcome addiction and rebuild their lives through Total Life Transformation, with over 50% of graduates staying sober for five years or more. Now, Alex is seven years sober, married, running a successful business, and most importantly, present in Tobias’ life.

Alex’s story is a testament to the power of faith-based recovery programs like Mercy House, which restores broken families one man at a time.

Living a Life of Faith

Coach Davis’s incredible journey is a story of unwavering faith, community, and the life-changing power of organ donation. In 2021, Coach Davis, beloved by his community, faced kidney failure after years of health struggles. Despite the challenges, he remained hopeful, leaning on his faith and the prayers of countless supporters. His journey took a remarkable turn when Leah Cox, a member of his community, decided to step forward to help.

What followed was nothing short of miraculous. After a long process of matching and testing, Leah turned out to be the perfect match—not only for Coach Davis but also as the key to unlocking Mississippi’s largest-ever kidney donor swap. Through this selfless act, the lives of seven people were dramatically changed, and a ripple effect of kindness and hope spread across families and communities.

Coach Davis’s story is a beautiful reminder of the power of giving, the strength found in faith, and the importance of organ donation. It’s a story that will inspire you to believe in miracles and the good in people.

💍 The Way We Were: David and Dayna Briggs

What started as a triangle tangle in Memphis has become a testament to God’s design for marriage, faith, and perseverance. David and Dayna Briggs’ love story is one of unexpected beginnings, unwavering faith, and a commitment that has stood the test of time.

From secret dates and “unfinished business” to a wedding that united them forever, the Briggs built their marriage on two unshakable foundations: faith in God and hard work. Over 41 years later, their story continues to inspire others.

Now enjoying life on their farm, David and Dayna cherish their “together time” hunting, farming, and witnessing God’s blessings in every season of life.

🌟Living His Best Life: The Inspiring Story of Chris Turner

For Chris Turner, Rankin County is more than just home—it’s where he’s found purpose, joy, and a community that’s changed his life. From a childhood in foster care to overcoming homelessness and battling bipolar disorder, Chris’s journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of a loving community.

Through the Celebrate Recovery program at The Pointe Church, Chris found healing, friendship, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, he’s not only a leader in the group but also a tireless volunteer, dedicating his time to ministries like All Things New, Care Center Ministries, and Burgers and Blessings.

Chris’s faith drives him to serve and inspire others. His favorite Bible verses, Romans 12:1-2 and Joshua 1:9, remind him to live with courage and purpose. “Don’t give up,” he often says, “pursue the Lord with all your heart.”

Whether he’s loading food boxes, mentoring others, or dressing up as Santa to spread holiday cheer, Chris lives by his own advice: “Live life and live it abundantly. Give back to others and enjoy the time you have.”

Chris, we’re inspired by your story and grateful for the light you bring to our community!

📖 For the full story of Chris’s journey, check out “Living His Best Life” by Melanie McMillan in our January Issue.
