Bridge to Life
Mission
This team lives out the Gospel by meeting the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of homeless individuals within our community.
SPREAD WARMTH FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Vision
Our desire is: to build long-term relationships with the homeless community, to spread the Gospel message with love and compassion, to equip ourselves and others for a Christ driven life, and to impact our world for Christ.
Scripture
“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds. Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you say to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?” James 2:14-17
“And the master said to his servant, “Go out into the highways and byways and compel them to come in, that my house may be full.”" Luke 14:23

We are going out into the battlefield. We build relationships and many times, we face death and loss of those we minister to, due to the cold and harsh Chicago winters.
