"FROM ASHES TO HOPE: UNITED TO REBUILD"

On February 19, 2025, the Ark Christian Pentecostal Church in Brooklyn, New York, a place of worship, love and community, was tragically lost in a fire. For decades, our church has been more than just a building: it has been a home for those seeking faith, a refuge for those in need, and a beacon of hope for our community.

From Sunday services to weddings, food drives and youth programs, Arca Cristiana has been at the heart of Halsey St, touching countless lives. It was where we prayed, celebrated, and supported each other through the joys and struggles of life. Now, we stand on the ashes, heartbroken but full of faith that together we can rebuild.

Our church has suffered a total loss of essential equipment and supplies, including instruments, microphones, televisions, Bibles, party chairs, party tables, decorations, altars, computers, iPads, walkie-talkies and cleaning supplies, our sanctuary, our instruments, our community space, but not our faith.

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help us: Rebuild our place of worship so we can gather in faith again Provide relief to those directly affected by the fire. We are currently not aware of any support we will receive from our insurance, leaving us in need of urgent support. If you can't donate, consider sharing this fundraiser with friends and family. We are determined to rebuild, but we can't do it alone.

Most importantly, we ask for your prayers as we embark on this journey to rebuild not only our church but also our faith in what is possible when people come together. We invite you to be part of the victory that is promised to us through God's grace, and we are confident that even in this tragedy, God has a purpose.

“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,” says the Lord Almighty. “And in this place I will give peace,” declares the Lord Almighty.”
