GREAT NEWS IN FINDLAY, OHIO

There have been close to 600 people helped so far here in Findlay, Ohio.
Since my last post we've had volunteers from the Mid-County Church of Christ in Troy, Ohio, Marion, Ohio, and another group from Norval Park Church of Christ in Zanesville, Ohio. We currently have a group from the Cox Blvd. Church of Christ in Sheffield, AL. and tomorrow have groups coming from Richmond Church of Christ in Richmond, KY. and from the Southgate Church of Christ. Saturday we have a couple coming from Huntsville, AL that will be bringing supplies.

We are so thankful to ALL of you who are praying, coming and working, bringing supplies, sending monetary donations, etc.

THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS!!! We are having visitors that we have been helping from the community at each of the worship services on Sundays and Wednesdays. PRAISE GOD!!!!
Our prayer is that the church here will continue with the follow up and that souls will be added to the Lords church.

SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED!!!

It is VERY busy here!! Red Cross has shut down. This is not a sign that things are ok here, this is just the way it is in a disaster area.....the Red Cross only stays for so long.
Now is when the people here in Findlay are really needing help. As hard as it is they are coming to the realization that they MUST throw away precious belongings and tear out walls, etc. Now is when they need the cleaning products, household supplies, furniture, etc. that their insurance did not allow for.

We are running extremely low on supplies. If your congregation is one that agreed to make up care packs for us......now is when we need them :) If you don't have them made up but would like to furnish the funds to allow for us to make them up here....please respond by phone or email as soon as possible to let us know. It is very needed and the community has been very appreciative of the church here in Findlay.
The seeds are being planted today......PLEASE help us reach out.

With this being said......vounteers are still desperately needed as well to help with the clean up and disinfecting stage.

You may call my cell phone 937-308-2259 or email disasterrelief@hotmail.com to make arrangements to ship the care packs, let us know funds are on the way or to schedule a trip to volunteer.

Funds can be mailed to:

FLOOD CLEAN UP

These are some pictures the Norval Park group from Zanesville, Oh. took while they worked with us yesterday.

In case you can't tell by the picture......the washer is FILLED with muck and yuck!

Flooding is such a nasty, disgusting job to clean up after! We are so appreciative of all who are volunteering their time!!

FINDLAY GOING STRONG

The church here in Findlay is reaching out to many in the community. We've had many coming in for supplies as well as signing up for assistance with their houses.

Today we are blessed to have volunteers from the Millersburg Church of Christ as well as the Norval Park Church of Christ in Zanesville, Ohio. They are doing an excellent job sharing the Love of Jesus through disaster relief. They are doing some nasty work on these houses, we are so thankful for them!!
PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING.......we are in desperate need of more volunteers! It is dirty work but VERY rewarding!! :)

Many of you have sent the care packs that your congregation made up and we are so thankful for that!! We recently "revamped" the care pack program, if you would like a copy of the new items that go in the care packs, please email me. disasterrelief@hotmail.com


****IF YOU SIGNED UP THROUGH OUR WEBSITE TO VOLUNTEER OR RECEIVE UPDATES THROUGH EMAIL................

I am asking you to please sign up again. My computer (along with the backup CD) was stolen. There was no information on the computer from any of you that would cause an identity problem, etc. for you, however I no longer have your email addresses or the forms that you filled out to volunteer.
