The story of Wheeler Mission demonstrates the amazing things that can be accomplished by dedicated men and women who follow Gods leading in their lives. Beginning with the life of founder William Wheeler, the book reviews the history and growth of one of the oldest and most respected faith based social services organizations in Indianapolis. Like any organization, the Mission had to struggle through difficult times as it addressed the changing demographics and needs of those individuals who walked through its doors. Wheeler Mission also adapted as needed to remain relevant in the ever changing world of the last century and a quarter. Yet through it all, faithfulness to the Christian message of caring for those less fortunate, both physically and spiritually, allowed the organization to not only persevere, but, through the grace of God, thrive. The book explores the historical heritage of the Mission itself, and shares compelling stories of the individuals that have been served through its outreach to the most vulnerable of the community of Indianapolis.
