ATTENTION ERIE 📣 We believe we’re equipped for good works — sometimes that looks like ramps, wheelchairs, and hospital beds.

And sometimes it looks like a pint of Niagara Lager at Black Monk Brewery.

All March long, your glass helps fill healthcare gaps right here at home.

Raise a pint of Niagara Lager in March. Fuel good works.

A new month means a new Niagara Lager Charity.
The March charity is Chosen. They serve the Tri-State area by redistributing durable medical equipment and filling other healthcare gaps in the community. Stop in and support them by purchasing a pint or two of Niagara Lager during March.
Thanks to all who supported Boys & Girls Club of Erie in February by purchasing pints of Niagara Lager.

Mrs. F reached out to us after being recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Along with the weight of her diagnosis, she’s been facing the financial strain of purchasing incontinence supplies and covering other basic needs.

I had the privilege of sitting and visiting with Mrs. F because she wasn’t strong enough to get out and about. As I dropped off the items she needed, she shared her story — years spent as a nurse, then a caregiver — always the one offering comfort and strength to others. And now, she finds herself in a season of needing care.

She spoke honestly about her fears and asked if we would add her to our prayer list. Instead, we did something even better. Right there, I wrapped my arms around her — the way God wraps His arms around us when we open our hearts — and we covered her in prayer and love in that very moment.

Through tears, she said it was one of the best things that has happened to her in a long time.

Givers deserve to be receivers, too. And I’m not sure who received more in that moment — her or me.

We all need to be reminded:
We are loved.
We are seen.
We are not alone.

Last week we mixed it up a bit — Findley Lake Church traded the snow of New York and Pennsylvania for the sun of Yucatán. ☀️

They traveled hundreds of miles to move sand, gravel, and cement — helping prepare a new warehouse for Chosen in Valladolid. This space will strengthen the distribution of durable medical equipment through Chosen’s network of pastors across the region.

And just look at that beautifully wide, handicap-accessible door. 🚪 What a picture of the Gospel — opening doors by stepping into the good works God prepared in advance for us to do.

A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Asunción of Kaua, Pastor Jesús, Pastor Limber, hermano Manuel, and hermanos Gabriel and Brayan for sharing your time, talents, and stories with us. We are grateful to serve alongside you.

This is what it looks like when the Church shows up — together.

Why do we do mission trips in Mexico?
We don’t live by chance. We are called into good works, with Christ at the center—works God prepared in advance for us to do.

This new Chosen lotería design tells that story visually. The cards reflect the assistive devices we distribute every day, and at the center is Jesús — El Amor. Because love isn’t abstract here; it’s practical, planned, and personal.

Through Chosen’s network of local pastors, durable medical equipment is distributed, and visiting teams help improve homes and churches so families can move with dignity and gather with ease.

Drop a 🙏🌎 in the comments if you’ll be praying for the team from Findley Lake Church flying down on Saturday. One project this week includes building a ramp for a young father who uses a wheelchair—improving access to his home and helping his family get to church more easily.

Jesus is Love. That’s why we serve the One.

¡Lotería!

This is our life verse as a ministry.

A reminder that every person is God’s handiwork, and every good work we step into was prepared long before us.

We’re grateful to say yes to what He’s already set in motion.

Thank you for being part of this story with us.
Ephesians 2:10 🌼

When first responders and community partners work together, the gap gets smaller.
We’re grateful for our partnership with the Bryan Fire Department Community Paramedic Program—meeting people where they are and making sure access to durable medical equipment isn’t the missing piece.

If this kind of community care matters to you, consider giving $21 a month to help ensure this work can continue—meeting people where they are, when they need it most.
Together, we’re Equipped for Good Works. ❤️
