Project Belong/Family Advocacy Ministry
May is Foster Care Awareness Month. We wanted to take a moment to highlight our partnership with Project Belong, one of our local Mercy Ministry partners, that does so much to advocate for vulnerable children and families in our community, particularly through the foster care system. We especially want to thank those in our NewCity church family who are currently serving as mentors through Project Belong's Don't Go Alone (DGA) program. We have eight mentors who have been walking along with youth who have aged out of the foster care system without finding permanency in a forever family. These mentors do so much to care for, love on, and support their mentees. Please pray for the mentors to have unwavering love and care for their mentees, and pray for the mentees that they would have strength to persevere through difficult life circumstances, for wisdom and courage to make good life choices, and most importantly, that they would come to have saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Read here for a spotlight on our church's involvement with Project Belong and the Don't Go Alone program. If you are interested in learning more about the DGA program, please reach out to Bora Jin. The next training for DGA mentors will be on May 13 and 14.
NewCity Church to Host Compassion Sunday in 2025
After a four-year hiatus, NewCity will again host Compassion Sunday on June 1 to support Compassion International, a Christian humanitarian aid organization that aims to positively influence the long-term development of children globally who live in poverty. This year, we're aiming to sponsor 50 children out of the 1,000+ who have been waiting the longest with the greatest needs from around the world. Nate and Lexi Solder will share on May 25 how their sponsor experiences have impacted their lives, and tables will be set up on June 1 where people can choose a child they would like to sponsor. Find out more about Compassion International and how their sponsorship works to help children gain spiritual and physical growth to survive. Additionally, take a moment to watch this video that highlights the impact of faithful sponsors to children living in poverty. Please pray through James 1:27 which reminds us that a pure and undefiled religion cares for the orphans and widows in their affliction, and consider becoming a sponsor for a waiting Compassion child.
