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
This week's sermon explores the compassion of Jesus and asks what it means for his followers today. Rather than focusing only on dramatic miracles, we'll look at the deeper source behind them: the heart of God that moves toward people who are weary, hurting, and lost. We'll discover that the compassion we are called to show is not merely human kindness, but the very compassion of Jesus himself at work in and through his people. Together, we'll consider how God invites us to become laborers who carry Christ's hope, healing, and presence into a world that desperately needs him.
