Community GOBAG Initiative to Fight Trafficking

Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked.

Psalm 82:3-4

The Freedom Church Alliance is helping churches raise awareness, fight trafficking, and support anti-trafficking initiatives.

Many people in our area have never heard of the term Sex Trafficking and those that have don’t know how to help fight this very real problem that exists. This is one of the ways to take action!

Please help our community through a GOBAG initiative?

Watch this video about GoBags and how they help.

This is a huge problem and requires a huge effort by the Body of Christ!

  • Our goal is 25 bags.
  • The cost $30 to fill one bag.
  • Contact Angie Wolfe to make a donation.
  • Let Angie Wolfe know if you want to help at the packing event. Date TBD.
  • Ask Angie Wolfe how you can help combat trafficking.

Let’s unite and ignite the flame! Together we can make a difference! Are you in?

Border Bags

The Freedom Church Alliance (“FCA”). of which LifeBridge is a partner, wants to help those who are being taken advantage of at the border.

Border Bags is a brand new initiative they are undertaking after having become aware in recent months of exploitation taking place among the influx of people at the border.

The FCA and LifeBridge are feeling led by the Lord to respond!

We know that as women and children make their way to the border there is a greater risk for them either being exploited – if they are not already experiencing it.

So we are responding alongside the FCA by:

  1. helping put together bags for women and children and
  2. in a few months deliver these bags to the border for distribution. (We don’t know what this part will look just yet but will keep you informed.)

We are making 20 bags: 12 for women and 8 for children.

WOMEN

To make this easier, click here for a Walmart Registry setup with items. (or search the Walmart Registry for “Border Bag List”).

If you purchase “like items” not on the registry, please text Astra (517/525.5604) or Angie (979/627.5817) and they will manually update the registry.

CHILDREN

  1. Travel size Hygiene Kit
  2. Gym Shorts
  3. Basic T-Shirt
  4. Socks
  5. Underwear
  6. Flip Flops
  7. Small Stuffed Animal
  8. Coloring Book & Crayons
  9. Spanish Children’s Bible

Here’s what we need from you:

  • Take an empty bag.
  • Fill it as appropriate for a woman or child.
  • Return it by September 23.

That’s it!

Thanks for helping us help those being exploited! You are making a difference!

GoBox 2.0 Release!

LifeBridge has been blessed to be a part of the Freedom Church Alliance; an agency dedicated to the eradication of human trafficking by the Church.

Through the years, they have worked with and supported numerous agencies and people to educate and eliminate this heinous enterprise.

One of the most successful tools they have produced is a “GoBox” which educated on the different aspects of trafficking and then gave simple “next steps” on way to help – individually or corporately.

This GoBox is a tactile, immersive experience that will equip you with knowledge about human trafficking, empower you to take action, and connect you with organizations where you can make a difference!

The box was such a success that it was used and requested far beyond the Houston area!

Thus, the “GoBox 2.0” was produced and is set to be released!

This GoBox is a tactile, immersive experience that will equip you with knowledge about human trafficking, empower you to take action, and connect you with organizations where you can make a difference!

This is like nothing you have likely ever seen or used before – and you will be proud to have it, use it, and share it; even as you help in the fight!

The boxes are set to be released on January 9, 2023, and can be preordered here:
freedomchurchalliance.org/gobox

I (Pastor Heitshusen) will be ordering several to give – including one to LifeBridge. I encourage you to order one, too. You won’t be sorry!

May you be blessed as, together, we make a difference in our community and world in this essential area!

EASTER Worship – FREEDOM in CHRIST

Easter Sunday, 2020, @ LifeBridge

IT’S EASTER!!! The highest, most holy day of the year!

Although we wish we could spread the joy of the resurrection of Jesus in person, the fact remains – just because we can’t physically be together, JESUS IS STILL ALIVE AND HIS VICTORY STILL STANDS!!! No virus or situation can or will ever change that!!

Remember that! Every day!

SCRIPTURES:

  • Luke 24:1-9
  • Proverbs 31:8–9
  • Galatians 5:1
  • Luke 4:18–19
  • 2 Corinthians 3:17

OPERATION FREEDOM: Be The Light

Starting this Lent, LifeBridge will engage in “OPERATION FREEDOM: Be The Light!” The first endeavor of this LifeBridge ministry will take place this Lenten season as we conduct a community service project to fill “GoBags” to aid the victims of human trafficking in Houston.

What is a “GoBag”

Rescue America works with victims of sex trafficking, providing emergency rescue services and helps to reintegrate victims back into society. These bags will go to these victims to help in this process. LifeBridge will work with The Freedom Church Alliance (who supplies the bags and many more resources for the Church to fight the scourge of sex trafficking) to collect the needed supplies and help many victims.

Our goal is 75 bags and will run from Sunday, March 1, until Easter, Sunday, April 12.

See below for a card with the contents needed for each bag. PLEASE NOTE THE BAG COLORS/SIZES and PUT IN ALL AND ONLY THOSE ITEMS LISTED. No changes or substitutions, please.

Along with the bags, our sermon series for Lent will also touch on some of the many facets of human trafficking and what our Call, as followers of Jesus, means in the context of this needed fight!

Thank you for being a part of the solution to fight human trafficking!
