pray for hurricane Helene relief

The more we hear about the losses and devastation from Hurricane Helene the more my heart hurts for those hit by this huge storm. That is why we take time today to stop and pray.

I ask you to read through, pray through and stop and pray through this list. But I also ask you to give to the relief efforts. See my notes below in how you can give.

Isaiah 65:24 NLT

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Pray for those who lost loved ones. Pray for those who haven’t been found.

Pray for those who have lost their homes and businesses.

Pray for those who are cut off from the supplies desperately needed.

Pray for those who have lost electricity and communication.

Pray for those who are serving in the recovery effects.

And finally, pray for those who need the hope only Jesus gives.

I remind you to make a difference by choosing to serve and to give. If you are a trained volunteer, go. If you can join a relief group in your area that is helping, volunteer and serve. There are so many places gathering supplies to give. Choose to go to one or more and donate items.

In our local area there is a drive at the speedway on Friday, many local schools are collecting supplies, Harbour towing is collecting, Rockingham Chiropractic where we go is collecting and so many more.

1 John 3:17 NLT

If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

There are also many organizations that are taking money donations. You are welcome to give to The Community Fellowship and designate it for missions. Go to https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving or to our mission partner at https://www.sbcv.org/helene

Choose today to stop and pray for those in need.

James 5:16 NLT

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
