Meridian Amikas-Village in El Cajon, California / Baptist Press
In December, Meridian Baptist Church in El Cajon, California, opened its new “village” of emergency shelters on its campus for homeless women and their children. The cottages were built by more than 100 volunteers. Meridian-Amikas Village, as the pilot project is called, is a joint venture of Meridian Baptist, a local non-profit focused on helping homeless women and children, and the city of El Cajon. Women can stay for 90 days as they figure out next steps.
Assemblies of God is organizing a “Seek and Save” initiative to mobilize congregations in major cities throughout the U.S. to collaborate on outreach events. Volunteers will engage in service projects—such as painting schools and doing landscaping—and evangelism.

Members of First Baptist Church in Hobbs, New Mexico, voted unanimously to donate a building on its property to Legacy Pregnancy Resource Center. Nearby Taylor Memorial Baptist Church also voted to donate its $50,000 budget surplus to renovating the building. Founded a little more than 10 years ago, Legacy has moved at least five times, and this will be the center’s first permanent location. Legacy provides pregnancy tests, baby supplies, classes, and prayer to pregnant women in need of practical and spiritual support.
