“I Have Nothing”

STORY

“I have nothing”, Loretta shared as we unloaded a new mattress and bed frame in front of the senior building, Liberty Arms. “We are happy to help! Life Bridge, a church right down the road works with PURPOSE, cares about you and they want to help give you a fresh start.” I smiled, behind my mask, and she felt my joy and smiled back.

Social Impact

Loretta, like so many seniors, are facing life-changing circumstances. Through our growing network, we can continue to give the dignity of a decent bed to released prisoners, seniors, and so many in need of a fresh start.

SPIRITUAL Connection

Whatever we deliver, a bed, a bag, or box, we do it all for the glory of God. We’re connecting people with caring churches, inviting them out of isolation and into the family. Thank you for strengthening our ministry of Christ’s compassion.

Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. AMEN.
