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!

GALATIANS – A Helping Hand

I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)

Fend for yourself or for others?

Well, it’s a bit of both.

We are called to bear our own load, but also are to “bear one another’s burdens.”

Really, it’s about living out the sacrificial life of love for others.

Paul puts it well: “as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”

Loving others means helping others, just as Jesus loves and helps us!

Scriptures

  • Galatians 5:26—6:18
