Liquid Church in NJ Serves Thousands Sick with COVID with Support from Saddleback
04/28/2020While Saddleback Church has been mobilizing thousands of people to serve nearly 50,000 people in our own community, we’ve also been reaching out to provide practical Relief support to local churches in some of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19.
One such church is Liquid Church in New Jersey, the state with the second highest amounts of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Saddleback Relief sent them relief funds to help lift their burden as they care for members and their surrounding community. They have mobilized members to serve thousands of families sickened by COVID and turned their church warehouse into Joseph’s storehouse. Because of their efforts, now their city is using Liquid Church as its Community Food Bank!
This is what Pastor Tim Lucas had to say thanking Saddleback Church for their support:
“I can’t THANK YOU Saddleback enough for your INCREDIBLY GENEROUS gift to help with Liquid’s COVID relief efforts! Our team here in the epicenter was so touched by your kindness & care from the West Coast. Praise God, we’re hoping to get past the peak this week. In New Jersey alone, we just passed 6,000 deaths. It’s like a war zone, but we know this is a chance for the Church to shine!
Your generosity had perfect timing: Saddleback’s generous gift will pay for an entire Tractor Trailer of emergency food & relief supplies for senior citizens, single parents, and families-in-crisis! As Pastor Rick always taught us, "You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.” Please thank Pastor Rick & your amazing team for Saddleback’s love & generosity— your friendship is a gift to our whole NYC region! With much love & gratitude, Tim”
God, we pray for all the communities, families, and individuals across the globe impacted by the COVID-19 virus and its effects. Would your Church shine brightly in this time and be your hands and feet to the hurting. Would the Church be a source of comfort, hope, and practical support to get people through these difficult times and point them to you. Amen.
