Resilience Care Boxes
What does your broken place look like? Everyone has one. Sickness, betrayal, financial stress, job loss, family issues, pandemic anxiety that just keeps hanging on. It doesn’t seem possible when we’re standing in the middle of it, but some of the biggest miracles and breakthroughs come from those broken places.
The mission of Lisa Bain Ministries came out of a cry to the Lord, a plea for vision in the middle of darkness.
One of the beautiful things to emerge was our Resilience Boxes, a tangible way to help someone walk through their own broken place.
As our team gathered to pray over what we would include in these care packages, we realized the items should come from the hands of those who knew their own broken place.
These people have stories of healing and freedom that need to be shared. Quilts, necklaces, books, journals, cards, pillows, money/gas cards, and other comforting items and items tailored to fit the recipients need, will be placed prayerfully in these boxes.
We have chosen each one to carry a story that creates a personal connection, assuring the recipient they are not alone, and someone cares deeply for them. We have even included a note explaining the meaning behind every item in the care box.
Care with connection is so important, and these boxes are filled with both!

The Story Behind Resilience Boxes
Several months ago, I ordered a necklace that I fell in love with–a small piece of Kintsugi artwork. This method of mending 
broken pottery symbolizes that broken places should be celebrated as beauty in the master’s hand. My necklace reminds me that our broken places are a container for God’s glory, and our scars aren’t flaws, but evidence of redemption. My Kintsugi is still my favorite necklace, and as we began praying about the Resilience Boxes, I wanted to share one of these necklaces with everyone who receives a box. But how would that be possible? I prayed and felt the Lord nudging me to contact the creator. I argued that the creator would never answer an email from a random person.
Really Lisa? If my handprints are across this entire ministry, don’t you trust me with it?
I emailed the creator, asking her to contact me, and she did. At the end of an hour-long phone conversation, we were partners. Our stories are similar, two women who know brokenness. Soul sisters with a divine connection. She was praying that her creations could bless those facing broken places, reminding them of the beauty within their journey. She wanted her necklaces to bring hope, and we wanted to include 
something that would be a constant reminder of that hope. Those necklaces she was working on before we connected are the exact replica of our Broken to Breakthrough logo. After we hung up the phone, I cried, and once again wondered why we doubt God when He has put us exactly where He wants us to be.
Our handmade quilts, made by the precious
quilting ladies, will be included in the Resilience Box and with them a handwritten letter with a photo of the ladies. Connection. These women are familiar with broken places because they have walked through their own storms, including Anna, who is 97 years old and shows up every Tuesday with a smile on her face. Now, these quilting ladies are giving, sewing, and paying it forward so they can remind others they are not alone. Every knot they tie is a prayer for the recipient.
We package each item in the box with intention and a story that connects recipient to creator. Before the boxes leave our hands, we pray over them, and the prayers are specific to the recipient. We want to lift up their broken place, and we pray the creations inside will bring comfort 
and hope, relationship and love. We
want each person who opens their box to feel those prayers. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, to bounce back. The items in the box are like arms wrapping around the recipient, reminding them that resilience can shine through even in the darkest moments. Together, we can walk out of the storm.
