<p>Billy Thayer shares his transformative two-year journey at Haven of Rest, evolving from a single parent seeking spiritual identity into a dedicated staff member and community leader. After being introduced to the Conquerors program by now-chaplain Steve Dobo and completing an internship in the shelter, Billy was hired as an evening cook in the food service department, a role he uses to &quot;serve encouragement one meal at a time&quot;. His spiritual growth, characterized by a shift toward patience and humility, has not only restored his relationship with his family but has also led him to serve as a youth pastor at Moving Forward Ministries. Now supported by a strong network of godly mentors, Billy is looking forward to a new chapter of life that includes his upcoming marriage on May 3rd and a continued commitment to being a &quot;lifeline&quot; for those currently walking the path he once did.</p>
