Help Lucas Make His Goal!
Support HIS-OC
Many of you saw Lucas Schroeder's video in church last Sunday. He made a short stop motion film to raise awareness about homelessness in Orange County and support HIS-OC. Messiah is supporting HIS-OC for our Easter project by providing bus passes and shelter to residents. Lucas has a goal of reaching 500 views of his short film. If he reaches his goal, his family will sponsor a family in HIS-OC for up to six months and provide four months in bus passes which is over $2,650! He currently has 322 views. Let's help him reach his goal by watching his video. It's really cute too! Good Job Lucas!


Even if you already saw the film in church, please click to watch the beginning, so he can get credit for you watching it!
