This new ministry team is open to all! Our first area of focus is on IMMIGRATION. Contact Lance to find out how to join us.
So far, we’ve been to the Texas Border where we visited respite centers, talked with border patrol, went to immigration court, and visited the border wall. We’ve also taken three trips to Brownsville to work with Pastor Carlos Navarro and Iglesia Bautista West Brownsville.
We are going back to the Texas Border in Spring 2024 to learn first hand what is going on at the Border.
We completed our time of training with Amplify, a four-part series from CBF Advocacy. This training is available on our Google Classroom (contact Lance if you want an invitation to it.) We learned new ways to demonstrate the love of Christ by addressing systemic causes of problems. We are working together to learn, invite and equip others, and work to transform unjust, broken systems.
The command from Scripture is that we do justice and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. In a time that needs a positive, affirmative voice for justice, we can lift up voices that are not heard. Through the development of Woodland’s Advocacy Ministry Team, we will directly impact our community.
