RESOURCES
As believers, we know the hope of Christmas fuels us for anything we may face today and in the future. Even in a world full of pain and suffering, we know that the God of the universe humbled Himself to be born as a baby in order to take our pain and pay the price for our sin, while offering true hope. So now as image bearers of God, we live with the hope of Christmas, and we live out gospel-centered justice in order to defend life, bring restoration, and seek redemption for all that sin has broken. We invite you to live out the gospel through the ministry of Lifeline and change lives around the world by partnering with us.
