Illinois and West
Virginia lead states
in allowing CCDRE
to help disaster
victims in 2014
Due to tornadoes racing
through Illinois the last part of
2013, CCDRE was able to deliver
supplies
with
a
value
of
$530,469.03 to survivors in the
Brookport and Washington areas.
Our thanks to the N. Crockett
St. Church of Christ for their
cooperation in allowing CCDRE to
deliver loads of new furniture, bed
sets and mattresses, appliances,
washing
machines,
dryers,
refrigerators, and stoves to the
disaster survivors.
The Eureka Church of Christ in
Washington, IL also worked with
CCDRE and allowed cleaning
supplies, baby and personal care
products, loads of new furniture,
food, washing machines, dryers,
refrigerators, stoves, and linens to
be delivered for distribution to
disaster survivors.
West Virginia suffered a severe
chemical spill in January, and with
the cooperation of the Kanawha
City Church of Christ in Charleston,
CCDRE was able to deliver plastic
plates, cups, baby wipes, hand
sanitizer and loads of bottled water
to the survivors. Drinking water
was a severe problem.

Distracted Driving Equals Disasters
Distracted driving is a dangerous epidemic on America’s roadways.
April has been assigned the “National Distracted Driving Awareness and
Enforcement Month.”
This risky activity can divert a person’s attention away from the
primary task of driving, while endangering the safety of the driver,
passengers, and bystanders. In 2012, there were 3,328 people killed and
421,000 injured nationwide in crashes involving distracted driving.
Text messaging requires visual, manual, and cognitive attention from
the driver, and is by far the most alarming distraction. Take your time
and make wise choices while driving, and you may avoid a disaster. Pull
off the road at a safe location if you receive a call or if it is necessary to
make a text message or call. 
HOPE
“The Lord is good to
those whose hope is in
Him, to the one who seeks
Him. It is good to wait
quietly for the salvation of
the Lord.”
An aerial view of CCDRE at
410 Allied Dr., Nashville, TN
was delivered to that location to be
distributed to the chemical spill
survivors in that area.
Plastic plates, cups, baby
products, hand sanitizer, and many
loads of water were delivered to the
Danville Church in Danville, West
Virginia.
A load of bottled water was
also delivered to the Madison, West
Virginia Church. CCDRE apprecites the excellent cooperation. 

FROM THE DESK OF
THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
Joe L. Dudney
Vice President/Executive Director
A story I remember from years
ago is one that I would like to tell
because it sums up what we do, our
purpose and what keeps us going.
In January, 1998, upstate New
York had a bad ice storm. We sent
truckloads of supplies to help
Plattsburgh, Massena, and Watertown, NY. Sometime later, after
things had somewhat returned to
normal, I received a phone call from
a woman who lived west of Watertown, up in the Adirondack
Mountains. Her home was very
secluded, and roads to her place
were closed. She had been cut off
before, so she knew how to prepare
for these hard times, but not for the
number of days this ice storm had
cut her off. She rationed her food
into a number of meals. At first she
was eating 2 prepared meals a day,
but knew she still had many days
before things opened back up, so
she began eating 1 meal a day. The
day after she had eaten her last
meal, she was worried and didn’t
know what to do. She was out →
of food, and water was also running
out. She had never prayed but
believed that there was someone
more powerful in the heavens. She
laid face down on the floor and tried
to speak to this person she knew
was in charge. She explained that
she said, “I am out of food and
water, I am hungry and thirsty, and
would you please help me?” At that
very minute, she heard a knock at
the door. She opened it, and there
stood a fireman carrying a food box
from Churches of Christ Disaster
Relief. She spoke to the fireman
about what had just happened, and
the fireman went to his truck and
brought her a second food box.
She had called to tell me about
her first request from God, to thank
us for helping her, and to tell us
what else had taken place since that
day. Once she was able to get out,
she began visiting the Church of
Christ that had helped get the food.
She met the people at the church,
people that cared for her and for
what was going on in her life. She
started attending worship, and
listening, and she studied the Bible
with them. She had recently been
baptized and was calling to thank us
for saving her physical life, while
through Christ, she had also saved
her spiritual life, and is now a
member of the Lord’s Church.
This is our purpose, and our
prayer is that people’s hearts will be
touched by the love shown by a
local group of God’s people
wanting to help their neighbor in a
time of need by taking food and
supplies that CCDRE is able to
provide. All of this can only be
done because so many continue to
support what we are doing. This is
all done to the glory of God.
Please continue to help us in
trying to bring others to Christ. We
thank each of you for your prayers
and your support for CCDRE. 

There was recently severe
flooding in Colorado, and we
delivered washing machines, dryers,
refrigerators, stoves, and a load of
bed sets and mattresses to the LongMont Church of Christ to be distributed to the flood survivors.

Many in Florida depend on the
sea for their livelihood. After one
of the seafood industries was
destroyed, CCDRE delivered a load
of canned goods and dried peaches
to the Franklin Church of Christ in
East Point, FL to help those who
were hurt by that destruction. →

In addition to the cities already
mentioned, we were able to deliver
a load of food to the Bywater
Church of Christ in New Orleans,
LA after a hurricane recently struck
that area.
A load of food was also
delivered to the Belpre Church of
Christ in Belpre, Ohio after
flooding in that city.
much needed improvements made
to our warehouse facility.
We always extend our thanks
to all of our many volunteers who
work at the Operations Center. We
appreciate our indispensable truck
drivers who deliver supplies to

Please keep CCDRE in your
prayers, and come to see us
whenever you can. 

Tim Larkin, author of
“Survive the Unthinkable,” has
trained more than 48,000 people to
protect themselves from attackers in
the past 2 decades. Following are
some helpful tips:
Be aware. The biggest issue is
awareness. If you walk or run
while plugged into a digital device,
it makes you less likely to notice if
someone is approaching you.
Don’t ignore your intuition.
Notice when something doesn’t feel
right, and get away.
Know what you don’t know.
Don’t presume an attacker will
behave as you would. When you
confront someone, you have no idea
how they will respond. People talk
about trying to live without fear, but
fear is actually biologically fantastic
for you. What you should worry
about is panic, and that is due to a
lack of information. 

Greetings from lovely Charles
Town, West Virginia!
It seems the first 3 months of
2014 have passed very quickly, and
April has arrived, and so has spring.
The people who live where I live,
and I am sure people in other
places, are ready for spring. The
winter has been cold, and we have
dealt with more snow than we
wanted to. With spring comes
tornadoes and other severe weather.
I pray your community is spared
these storms, but if not, we are
ready to provide relief supplies to
help relieve some of the suffering.
The past 3 months I have
visited 15 congregations to tell →

about providing physical/material
assistance following disasters. This
annual event brings brethren from
across New England together to
enjoy great fellowship and be
encouraged for church growth. I
also spoke during the Kanawha
Valley Unity Service on the campus
of West VA State University,
Institute, West VA.
Several
churches came together for this time
of worship and fellowship.
In the coming weeks I will be
visiting churches throughout the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern
states. In addition to this, I will set
up our exhibit at the Ohio Valley
University Lectureship, Vienna,
West VA. I will also set up our
exhibit

I would love to visit your
congregation and tell the CCDRE
story, who we are, what we do, how
we do it, and some of the good that
comes from our efforts working
with/through local congregations
following major disasters in their
communities.
Please call me at 1-615-4761777 or 1-304-610-4478, and we

NATIONAL 9/11 MUSEUM
TO OPEN IN MAY
In spite of years of funding
disputes, engineering challenges,
and a nearly disastrous flood, a
museum dedicated to victims of the
9/11 terror attacks will open in
May, 2014 in a giant cavern beneath
the World Trade Center site.
The museum will tell the story
of 9/11 through photos and video
and audio clips.
CCDRE delivered supplies for
many months to those touched by
the disaster. 

Greetings from Missouri!
It’s been a busy time here. I
traveled to Wisconsin this quarter to
visit congregations, and spent most
of February there. This was my
first trip to Wisconsin, so little did I
know it was going to be so cold
there. I was able to go to about half
of the congregations in Wisconsin.
I think I will wait until it warms up
to go back. I met and spoke to
some really great people. On this
trip I visited churches in Appleton,
Oshkosh, Manitowoc, Milwaukee,
Sheboygan, Marshfield, Waupaca,
and Elkhorn. During my trip home
I stopped and checked up on
Washington, IL to see how the
relief effort was going there since
the tornado hit last November.
On my way home I received a
call from a good friend, Wayne
Heasley,
from
my
home
congregation who informed me that
my wife, Lori, had volunteered us
to be the cooks this year for our
mission’s team, so the second week
of March we traveled to Alton, TX
where we cooked for our team
members while they were there

house/church that will be moved to
a site after completion. I was not
aware that it was that much work to
cook for 26 people; however, it was
a great experience. Then it was
time to go to the Tulsa Workshop.
If you are in the area and have
never been, you should go next
year. Put it on your calendar for
March 19-21, 2015.
What an
uplifting experience, don’t miss it.

We continue to help areas hit
by disasters in 2013. An important
feature of CCDRE is that we are
there after other agencies have left.
In January, I was able to travel
to the Washington, IL area which
was hit by a tornado last November.

if you do not have a disaster plan in
place, that you make one as soon as
possible. We never know when or
where disasters will strike. CCDRE
can help, so please contact us to see
how we can help in time of need.

“Godliness with contentment
is great gain for we brought
nothing into this world, and it
is certain we will carry
nothing out.”
- Paul writes to Timothy
Some believe the time was
about 1446 B. C. Moses had
died, and it was Joshua’s new
job to lead more than two
million people into a strange
new land and conquer it.
What a challenge!
Every new job is a
challenge! Without God, it
can be frightening. With God,
it can be a great adventure.
Just as God was with Joshua,
He is with us as we face our
new challenges. We may not
conquer nations, but every day
we face tough situations,
difficult
people,
and
temptations. However, God
promises that He will never
abandon us or fail to help us.
By asking God to direct us we
can conquer many of life’s
challenges.

coordinated the receipt and
distribution of the supplies in the
area due to the late fall tornadoes.
Eureka, along with the East Peoria
Church and the Northwest Church
in Peoria, IL have been working
together to distribute the food,
supplies, beds, and appliances to
those affected.
Next, I went to the Washington
Church of Christ in Washington,
Indiana. They were also hit by
tornadoes the same day in
November.
They received a
shipment of supplies from CCDRE,
and had already distributed the
supplies to help those in their
community that were affected by
the disaster. →
(see Lewis, page 6)
Lewis continued from page 5
From Washington I drove to
Brookport, IL, another community
hit again, the same day in
November by the late season
tornadoes.
The North Crockett
Church in Brookport, along with the
Mount
Pleasant
Church
in
Metropolis, IL and the Lone Oak
Church in Paducah, KY, are
working together to help that
community. They had also received
a shipment of food, personal care
items, and cleaning supplies from
CCDRE, along with beds and
appliances. When I was there, other
groups such as the Red Cross and
other religious efforts had been long
gone, but the local Churches of
Christ were still active and trying to
help where they could.
All of us have been watching
the tragedy unfold about the
mudslide in Oso, Washington. We
were in touch with congregations in
the area on Monday after the
mudslide took place. We were
ready to send a truck, and had a
congregation ready to work with us,
but this disaster was different. →
Those that were in the path of the
mudslide on that Saturday morning
had no warning. A small number
were at work or away from their
homes, and the rest appear to have
been overtaken by the mud.
It takes a large space to unload a semitrailer truck load of supplies. Here we see
a Receiving and Distribution Center set up
at a mall in Colorado
There are very few to help, and
they do not need a 53 ft. semi-trailer
full of supplies for that small
number of people that survived the
ordeal. Those not overtaken by the
mudslide need temporary housing
but still have a job, still have local
groceries, and the majority of the
people are fine, still working and
have a home and still able to get
what they need. Assistance for the
small number can be taken care of
locally. This tragedy is one that is
very difficult to imagine. We heard
of one fireman from the area that
located his house under the mud,
dug through what was left of his
house and found his wife and son
covered by the mud. What a heart
breaking story! We can only turn to
God when things like this happen,
and if you don’t have God, to whom
do you turn? Please continue to
pray for the families and the
community in Oso, WA. 

A MERRY HEART
DOETH GOOD LIKE A
MEDICINE
The following
letter was
received by Minister Allen in
response to the Minister’s request
for people to make a pledge to his
church. Let this bring a smile.
“Dear Mr. Allen, In reply to your
request to send a check, I wish to inform
you that the present condition of my bank
account makes it almost impossible.
“My shattered financial condition is
due to federal laws, state laws, county
laws, corporation laws, liquor laws,
mother-in-laws,
sister-in-laws,
and
outlaws.
“Through these laws, I am compelled
to pay a business tax, amusement tax, head
tax, school tax, gas tax, light tax, water tax,
sales tax. Even my brain is taxed.
“I am required to get a business
license, dog license, car license, truck
license, not to mention a marriage license.
I am also required to contribute to every
organization or society which the genius of
man is capable of bringing to life: women’s
relief, unemployment relief, every hospital
and charitable institution in the city,
including the Red Cross, the black cross,
the purple cross, and the double cross. For
my own safety, I am required to carry life
insurance, property insurance, liability
insurance, burglary insurance, accident
insurance, business insurance, earthquake
insurance, tornado insurance, unemployment insurance, old-age insurance, and
fire insurance.
“My business is so governed that it is
no easy matter for me to find out who owns
it. I am inspected, expected, suspected,
disrespected, rejected, dejected, examined,
re-examined,
informed,
reformed,
summoned, fined, commanded, and
compelled until I provide an inexhaustible
supply of money for every known need,
desire, or hope of the human race.
“Simply because I refuse to donate
something or another, I am boycotted,
talked about, lied about, held up, held
down, and robbed until I am ruined.
“I can tell you honestly that had not
the unexpected happened, I could not
enclose this check. The wolf that comes to
so many doors nowadays just had pups in
our kitchen. I sold them and here is the
money.”

An amazing five and a half
week-long trip through the SouthWestern states allowed me to meet
many brothers and sisters in Christ,
many of whom had never heard of
Churches of Christ Disaster Relief.
I am often greeted with tear-filled
eyes and comments of amazement
and wonder at the scope of this
work.
It was a privilege to preach at
the Morrowood Church of Christ in
El Paso, TX. That congregation
handled the distribution for
survivors of the floods that occurred
Typical flood damage
last summer in Socorro, TX, a town
of 30,000 people just south of El
Paso, where there is no Church of
Christ. Most citizens of the town
knew little about the Church of
Christ before the flood, but after the
work of the Morrowood congregation and 5 truckoads of relief
from Nashville, they know about us
now!
I preached next in Farmington,
NM, then on to AZ. I visited the
Church in Moab, UT, then on
Sunday morning I preached in
Kayenta, AZ which is in the middle
of the Navajo Reservation, the
largest reservation in the world, and
it reaches the states of AZ, UT, CO,
and NM. Our Navajo brethren were
an inspiration, and I was honored to
include them in the work we are
doing. I preached in Cortez, CO
next.
The next place I preached was
in Payson, AZ, a beautiful little
workshop I went out to eat alone. I
was about to leave the dining area
when I saw Kylie who lit up to see
me. She took me to meet her
grandmother and the grandfather
who preaches at the Church in
Chino. Danael was there too. They
invited me to sit and visit, so I did.
After supper, the girls insisted I go
shopping with them, so I tagged
along for a couple of stores then
left.
My next stop was in Tulare,
CA where I had a wonderful
reception, and I finished out the trip
at Prescot, AZ which was one of the
main congregations that worked
with us after the fire in Yarnell, AZ
that took hundreds of homes and the
lives of 19 firefighters. It was great
to see the brethren there again, and
to hear stories of things occurring
after we sent a trailer load of
refrigerators to disaster survivors.
After witnessing so much destruction, it is a
joy to see beautiful mountain flowers
blooming in the spring
town in the mountains northeast of
Phoenix. My next stop was in
Kerney, AZ, about 80 miles north
of Tucson. Then I preached in
Tucson at the Old Spanish Trail
congregation and the Palo Verde
Church of Christ. Duncan, AZ and
Safford, AZ were the next places
where I preached.
My next stop was in Monterey,
CA where I was scheduled to be at
“Recharge,” a workshop on the
west coast which is similar to
“Polishing the Pulpit” in the east.
While there, I made friends
with 2 ten-year old cousins from
Chino, CA named Kylie and
Danael.

SAFE DRIVING TO
AVOID DISASTERS
An example of heavy flooding predicted
from melting snow in the spring
snows of the winter begin their
spring thaw. Disasters can occur in
every season and anywhere in the
U.S.
Congregations and benevolent people want to assist when
these events occur, but often don’t
know where to turn. CCDRE is an
efficient and cost effective way to
provide that support. As the spring
brings its share of disasters – floods,
tornadoes and whatever else may
happen, please remember that
CCDRE can help you. Supplies are
distributed by local volunteers of
the Church of Christ which allows
the local church to extend a
benevolent hand with evangelistic
heart. Please help us financially if
you can, and keep the work of
CCDRE in your prayers. Thank
you, and God bless you!

Following are tips from AAA to
help your teen-agers drive safely and
avoid disasters:
▲ Set up a Parent-Teen Driving
Agreement
specifying
important
details such as the kinds of behaviors
that will increase driving privileges,
and those that will decrease them.
▲ Set a goal for each practice
session. For instance, concentrate on
identifying potential hazards or
keeping a good following distance.
▲ Use “commentary driving.” With
the car in motion, you and your teen
take turns describing objects or events
that could affect your choice of driving
actions.
▲ Be patient with your teen.
Encourage him or her to forgive other
drivers’ mistakes and learn from them.

When I come to the end of the
road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled
room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once
shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must
take,
And each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of
heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing
good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.

DISASTERS ARE NO LAUGHING MATTER
but Life Care Centers of America have concluded that laughter may have the following benefits: *Stress levels
drop * Vital parts of your body receive stimulation *You feel good *Your immune system gets a kick.. You
may use the following suggestions to get started: *Watch a funny movie or TV show * Read a funny book *
*Share laughter with friends. Laughter can never cure an illness or replace medical treatment, but it may
improve your everyday living.

MISSION NOT IMPOSSIBLE
There I stood in front of the Detroit airport
waiting for the undertaker!
Uncle Harvey had left his southern home in
the early part of the 20th century and had gone
north to “make his fortune” like so many young
men of that era. He made very few trips back to
visit his few relatives in the south.
Many years passed and Uncle grew old. He
had no family, but his kind neighbors watched
out for him. Now he was dying, and they didn’t
know what to do with him, so Uncle told them

to call me! He was on his death bed and asked
me to come to see him, and I knew he wanted
me to take care of the arrangements for his last days on this earth. Lord, if you want me
to go and help Uncle, you will have to guide me because I don’t have a clue as to
what I am doing.
Upon arrival in Detroit, a kind neighbor gave me the names of 2 funeral directors.
After spending as much time as I could at the hospital, I had to get to the airport for my
flight back home. I only had time to call one of the funeral directors (this was before
cell phones,) and the help he offered was not satisfactory. I rushed to the airport, took
a deep breath and joined the travelers in the waiting room. While waiting, I suddenly
looked around, and I was the only one in the waiting room! What had happened! I
raced to the window to see my plane backing away from the gate.
After rescheduling my flight I had time to call the second undertaker and explain the
situation to him. He impressed me as being an honest, reputable businessman and
offered to come and pick me up at the airport, and take me to his place of business
where I could make all the arrangements. So there I was, standing in front of the airport
waiting for the undertaker. Lord, you better be with me now, or I am in deep trouble.
Three days later, I received the call that Uncle had passed away. I only had to make
one phone call to the kind undertaker, and everything fell into place. Missions are not
impossible when God is at the helm. We never know when He may use us to carry out
His will; we just have to be available and trust Him to do the rest. Uncle never made
his fortune, but he was brought back south and laid to rest alongside his parents. 
