Prayer request for The Bridge
As you may know, LaCasa’s ministry with The Bridge, a program for the homeless, has been ongoing for years. We are at a point where The Bridge is trying to build a campus where these families can be free from undesirable elements. This project has been slowly progressing to where we now have land set aside, but we (The Bridge Board and staff) have been unsuccessful in obtaining funds to build the complex of 15 apartment units, a day care center, and an office for The Bridge staff.
Please join us as we come together in prayer for the Lord's favor and guidance for our property. If your schedule permits, join our group prayer at the site which meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7:30am at 18th Avenue and Angela (just east of 19th Avenue on the north side of Angela - Angela is between Bell & Union Hills).
