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:
helping put together bags for women and children and
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.
A service workday has been scheduled at New Heart of Texas in Hempstead on Saturday, June 11, from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
New Heart of Texas‘ mission is “To provide hope and healing to those whose hearts have been broken through traumatic events such as abortion, sexual abuse, divorce, and marital problems.”
We’re collecting gift cards to help buy lunch and possible a new pair of shoes for children who are removed from their homes in Austin County due to abuse and/or neglect.
YOU can help provide the best volunteer advocacy for some of these children in our very own community!
Suggested gift cards: $10 for Restaurants $30 from Walmart for shoes
