Pay It Forward


Imagine opening day of Life Bridge Christian Church.  September 23, 2003 is quickly approaching and the building is not ready.  Electric needs to be run, lights need to be installed, carpet needs to be laid, and tables need to be assembled. We simply don't have the people to get it all done.

That week, the week before grand opening, Suncrest Christian Church (another church plant started 8 years before us in St. John, IN) sent a team of workers to be the "hands and feet of Jesus" to us.  Amazingly, all the work was completed and the church opening was a great success.  "How can we thank you," we asked.  "Give the glory to God," they responded.  And, "Pay it forward."

Now, Impact Christian Church (another church plant that started 4 years after us in Merrillville, IN) needs our help.  They have navigated the early start-up years and many more challenges than any church should have to overcome.  They continue to glorify God and reach new people for Him.  Now, they need our help.

This Saturday, August 9th, Impact will be hosting a Back to School Block Party to reach out to the families in Merrillville, IN.  They need people to be the "hands and feet of Jesus" at this event.  Popcorn needs popping, snow cones need freezing, cotton candy needs twisting, and a watermelon eating contest needs coordinating.  

Are you willing to help Life Bridge "pay it forward" to another church that needs our help?  Let's glorify God by working together as His Church.
