Love your neighbor van on wafb

Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.

Latest Sermon

We spend our lives chasing success — in careers, finances, family, and reputation. But what if, in all our striving, we miss the one thing that matters most? This week’s message looks at Jesus’ parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), where a man who seems to have it all discovers too late that he has done just that. The question is simple: How do we keep from making the same mistake? The answer might surprise you.
