What do these three have in common? Not much, some would say, but according to Mission M:25 Director Gary Burd one thing ties them together\u2026 a love for teen mothers and their babies.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, <a href=\"http:\/\/missionm25.org\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mission M:25<\/a>, a ministry to the overlooked, lost, and hurting in today\u2019s society, began the 50CC Diaper Run to support <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falconchildrenshome.com\/royal-home-ministries\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Royal Home Ministries<\/a> and take a stand for life. Each September, riders cross the United States in 50 hours to raise awareness and collect diapers and financial support for the ministry. These dedicated riders believe that it is important for the church to stand for something and make a bold statement for life. According to Director Gary Burd, \u201cWhen it comes to standing for life and helping those in need,\u00a0I do this because I have the inability to do nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Executive director of Evangelism USA, Bishop Garry Bryant is grateful for the ministry of Mission M:25, \u201cWe are thankful for the commitment and compassion that Director\u00a0Gary Burd, his wife Carolyn, and their team have for the unborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located in Falcon, North Carolina, the Royal Home operates as a ministry of Falcon Children\u2019s Home and Family Services. In addition to counseling and educational opportunities, the ministry offers life skills training and career planning services to enable teen pregnant mothers to become responsible individuals and provide for their child.\u00a0\u201cRoyal Home Ministries is providing a place of safety with nurturing, spiritual guidance, and protection for the mother. We are providing a viable alternative to abortion,\u201d says Falcon Children\u2019s Home CEO Joseph Leggett.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/missionm25.org\/index.php\/how-we-serve\/50cc-diaper-run\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50CC Diaper Run<\/a> begins September 12 in El Cajon, California, and concludes in Conway, South Carolina, stopping at designated locations along the way. On September 5, the Heartland Conference hosted a special rally which collected over 118,000 diapers and wipes for the Royal Home, 98,000 of which came from Liberty Christian Center, a church of 40-50 people mostly on a fixed income.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1452\" style=\"width: 452px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Woman-Pastor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1452\" class=\" wp-image-1452\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/09\/Woman-Pastor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor Linda Stanberry<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 2016, Liberty Christian Center caught the vision for the Diaper Run and wanted to get involved. Although they were a small congregation, they felt they could make a difference. That year, the church collected over 3,000 diapers and 5,000 wipes. Three years later, they generously donated over 30,000 diapers and 68,000 wipes!<\/p>\n<p>According to Pastor Linda Stanberry, the church begins collecting diapers early in the year and gradually adds to the collection. As diapers are donated, they are placed around the church and in the sanctuary as a reminder. Church members often purchase a pack of wipes when they go to the grocery store each week; some bring handmade blankets, and others donate socks and shoes. People in the community also hear about the cause and stop by to make donations.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Pastor Stanberry and three church members were able to attend Harvest Train at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falconchildrenshome.com\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Falcon Children\u2019s Home<\/a> for the first time. There, they presented handmade blankets to the young ladies at Royal Home Ministries. As they watched the mothers wrap their babies in the blankets, they knew their efforts were not in vain. When the group returned to Liberty Christian Center to share about the trip, church members were moved to tears\u00a0when they heard how they were impacting the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>As the Diaper Run crosses the country this week, we encourage you to meet them at one of the diaper rallies or follow their route <a href=\"https:\/\/app.usfleettracking.com\/view\/FnxxasuT0J2Sc1C8SddnyinEy5-XiATsCQul3pNymLWKzHGa?mobile=false\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online<\/a>.

No mucho, dir\u00edan algunos, pero seg\u00fan el Director de la Misi\u00f3n M: 25, Gary Burd, una cosa los une ... un amor por las madres adolescentes y sus beb\u00e9s. En 2015, la <a href=\"http:\/\/missionm25.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Misi\u00f3n M: 25<\/a> , un ministerio para los ignorados, perdidos y heridos en la sociedad actual, comenz\u00f3 la 50CC Diaper Run para apoyar a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falconchildrenshome.com\/royal-home-ministries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Royal Home Ministries<\/a> y defender la vida. Cada septiembre, los pasajeros cruzan los Estados Unidos en 50 horas para crear conciencia y recolectar pa\u00f1ales y apoyo financiero para el ministerio. Estos jinetes dedicados creen que es importante que la iglesia defienda algo y haga una declaraci\u00f3n audaz para la vida. Seg\u00fan el director Gary Burd, \"cuando se trata de defender la vida y ayudar a los necesitados, hago esto porque no puedo hacer nada\". Director ejecutivo de Evangelism USA, el obispo Garry Bryant est\u00e1 agradecido por el ministerio de la Misi\u00f3n M. : 25, \u201cEstamos agradecidos por el compromiso y la compasi\u00f3n que el Director Gary Burd, su esposa Carolyn y su equipo tienen por los no nacidos\u201d. Ubicado en Falcon, Carolina del Norte, el Hogar Real funciona como un ministerio del Hogar y la Familia Falcon Children's Servicios. Adem\u00e1s del asesoramiento y las oportunidades educativas, el ministerio ofrece capacitaci\u00f3n en habilidades para la vida y servicios de planificaci\u00f3n profesional para que las adolescentes embarazadas se conviertan en personas responsables y mantengan a sus hijos. \u201cRoyal Home Ministries est\u00e1 proporcionando un lugar seguro con cuidados, orientaci\u00f3n espiritual y protecci\u00f3n para la madre. Estamos brindando una alternativa viable al aborto \u201d, dice Joseph Leggett, CEO de Falcon Children's Home. El <a href=\"http:\/\/missionm25.org\/index.php\/how-we-serve\/50cc-diaper-run\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50CC Diaper Run<\/a> comienza el 12 de septiembre en El Caj\u00f3n, California, y concluye en Conway, Carolina del Sur, deteni\u00e9ndose en lugares designados en el camino. El 5 de septiembre, la Conferencia Heartland organiz\u00f3 un mitin especial que recolect\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 118,000 pa\u00f1ales y toallitas para el Hogar Real, 98,000 de los cuales vinieron del Liberty Christian Center, una iglesia de 40-50 personas en su mayor\u00eda de ingresos fijos. En 2016, Liberty Christian Center capt\u00f3 la visi\u00f3n de Diaper Run y quiso involucrarse. Aunque eran una congregaci\u00f3n peque\u00f1a, la congregaci\u00f3n sinti\u00f3 que pod\u00edan hacer la diferencia. Ese a\u00f1o, la iglesia recolect\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 3,000 pa\u00f1ales y 5,000 toallitas. \u00a1Tres a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, generosamente donaron m\u00e1s de 30,000 pa\u00f1ales y 68,000 toallitas! Seg\u00fan la <u>pastora<\/u> Linda Stanberry, la iglesia comienza a recolectar pa\u00f1ales a principios de a\u00f1o y gradualmente se agrega a la colecci\u00f3n. A medida que se donan pa\u00f1ales, se colocan alrededor de la iglesia y en el santuario como recordatorio. Los miembros de la iglesia a menudo compran un paquete de toallitas cuando van al supermercado cada semana; algunos traen mantas hechas a mano y otros donan calcetines y zapatos. La gente de la comunidad tambi\u00e9n se entera de la causa y pasa a hacer donaciones. En 2017, el pastor Stanberry y tres miembros de la iglesia pudieron asistir a Harvest Train en <a href=\"http:\/\/www.falconchildrenshome.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Falcon Children's Home<\/a> por primera vez. All\u00ed, presentaron mantas hechas a mano a las se\u00f1oritas de Royal Home Ministries. Mientras observaban a las madres envolver a sus beb\u00e9s en las mantas, sab\u00edan que sus esfuerzos no fueron en vano. Cuando el grupo regres\u00f3 al Liberty Christian Center para compartir sobre el viaje, los miembros de la iglesia se conmovieron hasta las l\u00e1grimas cuando escucharon c\u00f3mo estaban impactando a la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n. Mientras Diaper Run cruza el pa\u00eds esta semana, lo alentamos a que se re\u00fanan con ellos en una de las reuniones de pa\u00f1ales o que sigan su ruta en <a href=\"https:\/\/app.usfleettracking.com\/view\/FnxxasuT0J2Sc1C8SddnyinEy5-XiATsCQul3pNymLWKzHGa?mobile=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">l\u00ednea<\/a> . Si bien los pa\u00f1ales y las toallitas son muy importantes para el ministerio, las contribuciones financieras tambi\u00e9n brindan oportunidades para satisfacer necesidades cr\u00edticas como gastos m\u00e9dicos, alimentos y ropa. La directora de Royal Home Ministries, Karelys Pereira, comparte: \u201cLes animo a considerar en oraci\u00f3n asociarse con nosotros financieramente. Cinco d\u00f3lares podr\u00edan comprar comida para beb\u00e9s por unos d\u00edas; $ 20 podr\u00edan usarse para comprar un conjunto de onesies o un atuendo para nuestros beb\u00e9s en r\u00e1pido crecimiento; $ 300 podr\u00edan ayudar a financiar las necesidades b\u00e1sicas de ubicaciones privadas durante un mes. Cada poquito ayuda \u201d. Se pueden hacer contribuciones financieras a trav\u00e9s del <a href=\"https:\/\/give.iphc.org\/evangelism\/224392\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sitio web<\/a> .
