Meet John Luckett, President and CEO of the Raleigh Rescue Mission. John grew up on a small farm in rural Mississippi and has a front row seat on the civil rights fear and tensions of the 1960s in the deep South. He was one of the few in his high school class to go to college, and after a successful career in banking and business he and his wife decided as a matter of faith and mercy to take an active hand in meeting the needs of those less advantaged. John has long recognized and appreciated the opportunities given to him by others, and refusing to let race, culture, or his roots define him or limit him, he has turned his personal experience into a life changing ministry to the homeless in our region.
