Over 40 million people are trapped in human trafficking globally, with children as young as 12 often exploited. The U.S. is a major consumer of sex-trafficked victims. Our ministry partner, Path2Freedom, is making a significant impact in ending this crisis right here in our community. Please help us to reach our goal of $25,000, that will double to $50,000! If each person in the church were to give $50, we would be able to make it! Let's embody the love of Christ and be God's church to those in need. You can click here to donate online or you can donate by check, noting "4TW" in the memo. Together, we can make a difference!

Backpack Blessings for We Care Outreach
We Care Outreach extends a compassionate hand to those in crisis, providing emergency services like showers, laundry, meals, and secure storage. Their comprehensive support includes case management, counseling, life skills training, and more, reaching over 2,750 homeless individuals annually in Lee County.
Rooted in Philippians 4:13, their mission is to guide those struggling with addiction towards recovery through Jesus Christ. They offer transitional housing with the goal of aiding individuals toward independent living, supported by substance abuse and mental health services.
While participation in church activities is voluntary, residents often find renewed hope and success through faith-based engagement. Residents adhere to a structured program with a 30-day probation, curfews, and regular sobriety checks to maintain a clean and supportive environment.
Join us in prayer and action as we continue to serve those in need, through Christ's love by providing backpacks for the residents. Please bring bags that are new or gently used and cleaned to the Missions Table in the Lobby at New Hope.
