Sometimes God calls us beyond what feels familiar… and into something far greater.

For Chloe Baggett, a doctoral student in Occupational Therapy at Methodist University, stepping onto a plane for the very first time meant stepping fully into faith. What began with uncertainty became a powerful reminder: when we say “yes,” God meets us there.

“Mission trips tend to push you out of your comfort zone physically and spiritually. I’ve done mission trips within the U.S. but traveling to Yucatán was my first time traveling out of the country (and my first time on a plane). This trip pushed me out of comfort zone big time and made me realize how much I needed to lean into my faith and trust that God is working through me even if I don’t see it. Mission trips give us the opportunity to serve people just like Jesus. To be able to take care of individuals, meet them where they are at, and show them a different love is so special and truly a privilege!

[If you’re hesitant to go] I would say just do it. If I’m being honest I was unsure about going to Yucatán at first. I prayed on it for a while and when the Lord kept giving me little signs, I knew I needed to go. I had no clue what I was going to do there or how I was going to share the gospel. I remember praying before I left and when we landed “Lord I’m not sure why you have me here but just use me for your good” and he did just that. This was an experience of a life time and I highly recommend anyone going on a mission trip if the opportunity arises. This trip is something I will hold in my heart forever! “

If you’ve ever felt the nudge, consider this your encouragement: pray, listen, and take that step. You may not have all the answers—but God will meet you in the obedience.

We’re so grateful for hearts like Chloe’s, willing to go, serve, and trust. 💛

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 night was incredible 🫰

Thank you to everyone who came out, raised a glass, and tipped irresponsibly for a really good cause. Your generosity makes it possible for Chosen to continue freely distributing durable medical equipment to neighbors who need it most.

A special thank you to Logistics Plus Inc. for matching funds for Aaron Bisbee — your partnership multiplied the impact in a big way.

Huge gratitude to The Brewerie At Union Station for hosting and creating such a great space for the evening. And to our guest bartenders — thank you for stepping behind the bar, working hard, and representing Chosen so well. Gannon University, Great Lakes Insurance Services Group LLC, Lake Erie Transportation, LLC, Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers - West Erie.

We’re so grateful for a community that shows up and gives generously. 💙 Cheers to making a difference together.

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.
