This month please pray for Bridge Ministries and Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity.
“The mission of Bridge Ministries is to build up and bring together the body of Christ, to do the work of Christ together. The vision of Bridge Ministries is transformed communities, glowing the grace, prosperity, and presence of God.” The following are a few ways they work to accomplish this: “speaking in churches andorganizations about reconciliation and unity; mentor young people to live and lead with passion and
relevance; encourage pastors and churches to remain faithful in reaching outside their walls; sponsor
public prayer gatherings to pray for the city and the church & build friendships with and between those
separated by race, denomination, geography, gender or socio-economic status.” For more information

Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity was started in 1988. They are celebrating their 35 th year building
affordable housing in the Rockford metropolitan area. “They have now completed construction of 144
new homes; have rehabbed 29 homes and serve a minimum of 8 families through home ownership
opportunity and 30 families through critical home repairs each year.” They work with school districts to
teach construction trades to students by having them work on the homes. They have eleven
homeowners who will be completing or starting a home this year. For more information see
