Mariah Perrigan
Mariah Perrigan and her husband, Pastor Will Perrigan, enjoy homeschooling their six children in the context of their family’s Gospel Rescue Mission lifestyle. Mariah says, “Although our hearts can be broken when we see these precious people fall back into the bondage of sin and addiction, our children see that to love God and obey his word is the only foundation for being independent and capable of helping others.” Mariah relishes the training opportunity Rescue life provides in resourcefulness. She relates, “Once, we overcame a sugar shortage by finding an enormous box of sugar packets that had been donated from a local restaurant. One child commented, “Normal families don’t open 200 sugar packets to make a batch of cookies do they?’” Mariah’s response was, “I don’t know what normal is, but I’m sure it must be boring!”
