LOVE & CARE 30TH TENT REVIVALThe Love & Care 30th Tent Revival was more than an outreach—it was a movement of compassion that brought together dozens of volunteers, local pastors, and community members to serve the Abilene Community. URA passed out over 600 pairs of Nike Air Jordans to families in need, alongside prayer, encouragement, and moments of healing. The event became a sacred space where joy and restoration flowed freely. Over the 4 days, 89 volunteers partnered alongside URA to participate in 580 service hours. They participated in altar ministry and passed out 669 pairs of shoes. Over the next few weeks, URA will be releasing testimony videos from those directly impacted by Love & Care Ministry. The night started with worship in the Abilene Convention Center, where people from all walks of life lifted their voices together in thanksgiving, and ended with our volunteers serving through passing out shoes, clothing, haircuts, feet washing, and a meal. The revival reminded us that the smallest act of kindness can open hearts to the greatest love of all—Jesus. |

Kairos Ministry Cookie PackingOver 30,000 cookies were lovingly packaged to be delivered into Texas prisons this month. Each one carries a message of hope, forgiveness, and the unconditional love of Christ. United Rescue Alliance was honored to partner with Kairos Prison Ministry International, a ministry that brings the light of Jesus to incarcerated men and women and their families. Volunteers from across the community gathered to help pack cookies by the thousands, filling bags not just with baked goods, but with prayers and purpose. At URA, opportunities like this remind us that transformation often begins with something small—a simple cookie, a kind gesture, or a moment of compassion—that God uses to open hearts and change lives. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40 |
