Jeff Hyatt, the facilities manager at Haven of Rest, describes the extensive efforts his team undertook to manage a severe blizzard that brought approximately 11 inches of snow to the region. To ensure the facility remained accessible and safe, the team prepared in advance by tracking the storm, securing salt reserves, and maintaining equipment such as tractors and snow blowers. During the storm, staff and even some guests worked long hours in freezing conditions to clear pathways, prioritizing access for individuals with mobility challenges so they could safely reach the dining room and shelter. Ultimately, the broadcast emphasizes that these behind-the-scenes facility operations are vital to the ministry's mission, as they "clear the way" for guests to receive warm meals, clothing, and the gospel during dangerous weather events.
