Church Rebuilds After Theft

A church on the West Side, Last Chance Ministries, faced a major setback when thieves stole brand-new air conditioning units and ripped out a wrought-iron fence—just before their big children’s church launch in July. Forced to delay opening until August or September, they rallied the community with a 5K “Endurance Run” fundraiser, drawing hundreds to Woodlawn Lake Park. Even with strong turnout, they’re still thousands short to replace everything, especially the AC. Pastor Jimmy Robles says the name “Endurance Run” perfectly captures their spirit: pushing through, believing, and rebuilding—no matter the hurdles.
