We’d be dishonest if we chose to ignore everything happening around us. There’s a lot of hurt in both our country and world, and if we’re being honest, it can be incredibly overwhelming. But that’s what we’re for here at the Lifeline. We want to uplift, inspire and encourage you that no matter, we can shine a light into dark situations.

It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and today we wanted to share stories of people shining light and providing hope into the difficult situations faced by those in Los Angeles, California right now. Yes, the fires are intense, but people are stepping up and helping to make a difference.

If you’ve never head of the Jesus Loves You. Company, they’re a clothing brand spreading the message of Jesus’ love, and they’re making an effort to support LA in the midst of these wildfires. Last week for a 72 hour window, they sold some specially designed shirts representing the city of LA…and every single profit from purchases is being given to support aide and victims of the fires. Seeing a business like Jesus Loves You. provide help through creative ways is so cool to witness.

God’s Pit Crew, a disaster response ministry, is dispatching a full tractor-trailer load of Blessing Buckets to the greater Los Angeles area.  The disaster relief buckets, each carefully packed with critical supplies, are intended to provide immediate assistance to those impacted by the fires.

If you’re interested in sponsoring a Blessing Bucket – which cost $35 per bucket to fill – or to support their ongoing relief efforts is encouraged to visit GodsPitCrew.org or call (434) 836-4472.
