River Winds Community Church

This year earthquakes, floods, and fires have struck the US and other countries. If you can, please join in the restoration efforts to assist the victims.

What is needed:

1)      Search and Rescue – to find and recover the living still hidden and trapped in the rubble.

2)      Medical Treatment – the lesions and breaks have to be treated for physical healing to begin.

3)      Water, Food & Shelter – clean water is needed for all the people, survivors and aid personnel alike, plus food and temporary shelter. Sleep and rest are an integral part of one’s physical recovery. A measure of privacy and family life would be welcome.

4)      Clean up and Restoration – the infrastructure (roads, utilities, communications) needs to be addressed for “normal” functioning and a restoration of “life” for the residents.

5)      Rebuilding – with the tremendous devastation of homes and official structures this task will be an ongoing multi-year project much like Katrina recovery is in the US Gulf States.

What you can do:

1)      Pray – for God’s intercession, favor, and mercy. He can expedite and streamline the assistance that is needed and is already headed to these countries.

2)      Pray – for unity and coordination among the various relief organizations present.

3)      Donate – supplies and funds to the relief effort:

Apostle Paul said, “We must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Acts 20:35 (NIV)

And in Hebrews we read: God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Heb 6:10 (NIV)
