Brentwood Baptist Church,
As we looked out this weekend at snow-covered neighborhoods, it was a striking contrast to the devastating wildfires in California. Many of you have asked how we can help as these fires continue to impact countless lives.
Our Church Planting Partners and Mission Workers in the affected areas are safe but are now serving their communities in the midst of chaos—offering physical, emotional, and spiritual support. The road to recovery will be long, and our partnership in prayer, giving, and encouragement is vital.
Here are three ways you can help:
- Pray – Lift up the communities affected, asking God to bring peace and hope. Pray for our partners’ safety and wisdom as they serve.
- Give – Support relief efforts in LA by giving HERE.
- Encourage/Go – Pray for opportunities to encourage response workers, support people impacted, and consider joining a short-term journey to assist with relief efforts in LA.
Brentwood Baptist has already released $20,000 to our partners for immediate relief efforts. In the coming days, we’ll share more about how we can walk alongside those affected and provide ongoing support.
Even in difficult times, the message of Christ’s hope is being proclaimed. Let’s continue to pray and act as we partner with those bringing light to these communities.
In Him,
Vicki Howell
Community Missions Minister
