The Team

Jake Mudrezow

Executive Director

After serving most recently as the Director of Development, Jake is honored to lead Hope Rescue Mission into its next season as Executive Director. Jake’s journey to the Mission began in Washington, D.C., where he served as a police officer for seven years. That experience opened his eyes to the deep needs of those in crisis and eventually led him to serve as the Executive Director of a church in Alexandria, VA, from 2022 to 2024. Today, Jake is passionate about combining his background in public service and ministry to bring hope and restoration to those in need. Outside of the Mission, you can find Jake exploring the mountains with his wife, Sami, and their four young children. Jake also enjoys exercising, hunting, and a good cup of coffee.

Sherry Gunter

Director of Finance

About Sherry

“God brought me to the Mission under false pretenses :o).

I volunteered to be a fill-in bookkeeper but left after my first day with a job offer.

My background in banking and church administration provided a unique set of skills that He must have wanted on board. I am the longest standing staff member, as I started in April of 2012. Getting to see this amazing staff faithfully serving our community and those who come to us for help is a humbling experience that I am so grateful for!”

Careers @ HRM

We are called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. This work is not about us — not our reputation, our church, or our organization. It is about Him and the people He loves. When we serve in His way and for His glory, a faithful reputation will follow — not for ourselves, but for Christ to be seen and known. We are not the saviors. We are witnesses to The Savior.

This is where it begins. Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He entered our world. He stepped into our reality. The incarnation is not only one of the most profound truths of the Gospel — it is our model for ministry.

Just as Christ came near to us, we are called to go and come near to others — to step into their world as they are, where they are. Not to control or coerce, but to faithfully bear witness by being present. The power of our witness is found in our “with-ness” — walking alongside, offering hope, and reflecting Christ through relationship.
