PHOENIX, Aug. 9, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Masterworks is pleased to announce that Phoenix Rescue Mission has joined our growing family of rescue mission clients.

Having just celebrated 60 years of ministering to the homeless and poor in the greater Phoenix area, the vision of Phoenix Rescue Mission is to end homelessness and hunger by working with community partners to help transform lives. Originally started as a mission that provided an evening meal, chapel service and clothing to migrant workers and people living on the streets, the Mission has grown into a multi-faceted organization that offers shelter and recovery services to the homeless, most recently to women and their children.

"One of the reasons we picked Masterworks was because they work exclusively with Christian non-profits; Masterworks is an ideal fit for our ministry," noted Jay Cory, president and CEO. "They've worked with missions like ours for many years so they understand our commitment to providing Christ-centered, life-transforming solutions to people facing hunger and homelessness."

Besides Phoenix Rescue Mission, the expanding list of Masterworks' mission clients includes Seattle's Union Gospel Mission, Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities (St. Paul, Minn.), Orange County (California) Rescue Mission, and Union Gospel Mission Sacramento. Two other progressive homeless ministries, Knox Area Rescue Ministries (in Knoxville, Tenn.) and Metropolitan Ministries (in Tampa, Florida), are also a part of the Masterworks family.

"We get excited every time we partner with an organization like Phoenix Rescue Mission, which is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to meet the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the poor and homeless," notes Masterworks President Steve Woodworth. "We believe that together, we can move their ministry forward, both strategically and financially, to accomplish the vision that God has given them."

Masterworks exclusively serves Christian non-profit organizations. With an integrated approach to marketing, fundraising and branding, the strategy is designed to deepen the impact clients have in the world. This Poulsbo, Washington-based agency has been helping organizations grow and meet their revenue goals for nearly a quarter century.
