In Portland, Oregon, the Union Gospel Mission started Life Change. The community of passionate Christians created a job-training program for convicted felons and drug addicts. Union Gospel Mission wants to help,  “serve, rescue, and transform those in greatest need through the grace of Jesus Christ”. Life Change has helped a twenty-four-year-old man who was homeless and a drug addict attend college majoring in electrical engineering with a 3.8 grade-point average. Life Change as also transformed a thirty-eight-year-old woman from a prostitute to a manager of a local Subway sandwich shop. Life Change goes out into Portland where the most needy are and create a relationship by listening to the troubled stories and daily life struggles. Through the gospel, Life Change is able to bring people to their recovery programs and bring Christ into their life. Union Gospel Mission helps care for the poorest of poorest and treat every human being with dignity and respect. Union Gospel Missions sees that God created all of us in His image and likeliness and each person should be treated as such. Life Change is bringing economic prosperity to their community through serving the Lord and transforming lives.
