SPRING STORMS
UPSET THE SOUTH
Twenty-two tornadoes tore
through Tennessee, the second
biggest outbreak of tornadoes in
Middle Tennessee recorded history,
according to the National Weather
Service.
Northwest Georgia reported
two deaths and suffered millions of
dollars in damage.
Emergency Management agencies encourage citizens to always be
prepared for the unexpected by
staying informed, stocking supplies
and making a plan. •

Vice President/Executive Director
This article will focus on the
assistance provided to those in the
path of Hurricane Sandy after it
first made landfall on October 29th
of 2012 near Atlantic City, New
Jersey.
There were a known 285
fatalities from this storm which was
approximately 900 miles wide.
We began making phone calls
to congregations immediately. We
contacted congregations we had
worked with after Hurricane Irene
hit the same area in August of 2011
and other congregations.
After making the necessary
arrangements with several church
leaders in the disaster area our →
first semi truck left the CCDRE
Operations Center on October 31st
for the Roosevelt-Freeport Church
of Christ in Roosevelt, NY.
Members from the RooseveltFreeport and the Long Island
Church of Christ in Bay Shore, NY
unloaded the shipment of food,
cleaning supplies, and clothing into
a building that the Roosevelt-Freeport Church had purchased hoping
to remodel it into their new church
building.
From the end of October
through the end of March 2013,
there have been 54 shipments of
food, cleaning supplies, clothing,
blankets,
bedding,
detergent,
bleach, furniture, appliances, and
frozen dinners delivered to the
Northeast. Notice the chart below
for the total delivered for the first 3
months of this year.
Thanks again for the help from
the congregations, individuals,
volunteers, and truck drivers who
support this work so faithfully. •

In the last 3 months we have
been dealing with the needs of
disaster survivors in Adairsville and
Calhoun, GA; New Orleans, LA;
Hattiesburg, MS; Union Beach and
Sewell in NJ; Capitan, NM; Bay
Shore, NY and Coble, TN.
We have been hearing great
reports from the northeast →
Ralph Coles
after hurricane Sandy invaded the
area. The churches on Long Island
and Union Beach and Toms River
in New Jersey have braved the
storms, distress and hardships of
winter weather.
Many church
members have delivered food and
supplies to their communities and
have touched people in a physical
and spiritual way. They have set up
100’s of Bible studies, holding
community gospel meetings, and
evangelism teams have been formed
to go out and visit with families
who are interested in hearing about
the Gospel of Christ.
I visited the Faulkner University, set up our display and told
about the CCDRE efforts.
Our investment in the new
warehouse has paid off as we sent
out 4 truck loads of frozen dinners
which were given out in one day. •

After Hurricane Sandy struck in
the northeastern quarter of our
country many people who talked to
me expressed the same thought:
More people are expressing
positive thoughts about Churches
of Christ than they have ever
heard before. We have sent some
$3 million of relief supplies to 10
congregations, and the people are
continuing to work in assisting
victims who have lost so much.
During the past 3 months I have
made 15 presentations/updates
about the work of CCDRE to the
following:
Southwest Church of Christ in
Hartford, Connecticut.
In Maryland the Westside
Church
and East Baltimore
Church in Baltimore; the Church of
Christ in Easton; the Chesapeake
Church in Grasonville; the Church
in Hagerstown; the Church in
Olney; St. Mary’s County Church
in California, MD; Oxon Hill
Church in Temple Hills.
In Pennsylvania I had the
privilege of presenting the program
to the Church of Christ in Glen
Rock and Mt. Holly Springs. I also
attended a church leaders meeting→
hosted by the Church of Christ in
Camp Hill, PA.
In Virginia I made a presentation
at the Church of Christ in Strasburg,
and also attended a church leaders’
meeting in Fredericksburg hosted
by the North Virginia Church and a
meeting hosted by the Church of
Christ in Falls Church, VA.
I will soon set up our display and
speak at the following lectureships
on the topic, “How Churches of
Christ Disaster Relief Benefits
Outreach:”
Ohio Valley University, Vienna,
West Virginia;
Lectureship hosted by the
Coventry Hills Church of Christ in
Pottstown, Pennsylvania;
New England Lectures, Taunton,
Massachusetts;
Mid-Atlantic Lectures, New
Castle, Delaware.
Please stop by our display at
these lectures for additional
information and arrange for
someone to come to your congregation and make a presentation about
how you can help at a time of a
disaster. •

WORDS FROM THE
LONG ISLAND CHURCH
OF CHRIST, BAY
SHORE, NY
“We have seen the grace and
love of the Lord in the way you
sought us out and helped our
community with a generosity
unequaled to any we have seen.
“We have reached out to over
500 families, and made countless
gospel
presentations
in
the
boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn.
“We are emphasizing that the
greatest need of all is the
forgiveness of sins in Jesus. No one
has refused the fact that God did
this to get everyone’s attention to
their need of salvation.” •

Greetings from Missouri! Last
week I was in Tulsa, OK at the
Tulsa Workshop, set up our display
booth there and visited with many
people from several states.
In the next few weeks I will be in
Minnesota where I will share the
CCDRE work with churches in
Richfield, Park Rapids, Minneapolis, and Mankato.
My first trip will be to Mena, AR
where I will meet with several
families to speak about CCDRE but
also discuss with them how they
may become C.E.R.T. (Community
Emergency Response Team) certified so they are ready to go to work
in a community when a disaster
strikes. There are many things a
church can do to prepare for a
disaster, and because of experience
I have with C.E.R.T., I am available
to discuss this with your
congregation.
I would like to share with you
the great work that CCDRE is
doing, thanks to the many who
support this work with their time
and finances. If you would like
more information I may be reached
at toll-free 1-888-541-2848. •

Tornadoes hit the Georgia area
of Adairsville/Calhoun and Hattiesburg, Mississippi where we delivered food, personal care items,
cleaning supplies, water, baby
supplies, linens, etc., but our main
focus has been on Hurricane Sandy
victims in the northeast.
Bible studies are taking
place, people are
hearing God’s word,
and studying things
they have never heard
before!
Our support of those in the path
of Hurricane Sandy has slowed
down considerably even though
there is still a need. Our financial
support from you controls what we
can do and for how long. Those not
involved directly in this effort are
no longer hearing about aftermath
in areas of the country because the
press no longer considers it ‘A
Headline,’ so our financial support
tapers off. The press also does not
raise the fact that when there is this
much damage, it will be many
months before some can move back
‘home.’ Several employers closed
their business after the storm, so
now many are without work,
without a place to→
live, and are receiving no aid from a
government organization. (They
left early in the year.) Many local
community members do not know
where to turn. I have been told by
members of the congregations we
have helped that the name ‘Church
of Christ’ is now known by people
in the hurricane path because of
how local congregations have been
able to assist them with supplies
provided by CCDRE.
We ask you to please continue
to pray for those that will need help
for months to come, and continue to
support CCDRE so we can carry on
this effort. •

In late April and early May,
look for me at our table at the
Pepperdine Lectureships. If you
would like for me to come to your
congregation while I am in
California or driving through
Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico,
April and May would be a good
time. You may contact me at
[email protected]
or on my cell phone 615-330-7053,
and you can always find me on
Facebook, Ken Leonard Forney,
Texas.
In late May and early June I
will try to stay close to home in TX,
so that would be a good time to
schedule me to visit in the Forney
area.
I will be at the Regional
Church of Christ Lectureship in
Midland, TX on June 16 through
20. Then I will be at the Red River
Encampment in New Mexico June
22 through 27. I will be scheduling
to speak at churches in west TX in
June and New Mexico in July.
The last of July I will be in
northwestern CA and in August I→
4
Ken Leonard
have scheduled one church in
Seattle and plan to spend several
weeks in Washington. I would be
glad to put churches along the way
there and back in Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon on the
schedule for August and September.
In March I attended the
Churches of Christ National
Lectureship in Houston. Besides
great preaching I was able to hear
some terrific singing. It turned out
to be an inspiring combination for
me, and I wrote a song and decided
to include one verse in my report. It
is called
“Jesus, Please Send Me.”
There’s a family who’s pleading tonight
Praying everything turns out alright
Seeking solace and safety from the storm
Please take care of their needs
If it’s shelter or something to eat
Remind them You still care
And do it through me.
CHORUS (quick time)
Hold them in Your arms,
Let them know Your love is always there.
When they feel alone
Let them see the fellowship we share.
When they are afraid
Shine Your light and chase away despair.
Jesus, please send me
To answer their prayer. •

Thank you to all of the
congregations and individuals that
continue to support CCDRE, Inc. It
is an encouragement to all of us
when we have the privilege to meet
you and to discuss the efforts of
CCDRE, Inc.
Your prayers and
financial support, as well as the
physical efforts of many people, are
the keys to success in our efforts to
provide assistance so that local
congregations of the Church of
Christ can reach out to those
impacted by disasters. →
During the past 3 months we
have been fortunate to visit many
congregations in Alabama, Tennessee and Hawaii. In Huntsville,
AL we spoke with brethren at
Twickenham, Mayfair, Chase Park,
Northwest, Lincoln and West
Huntsville. In Decatur, AL we
visited the Grant St. Beltline and
Austinville congregations. We also
met with the Broad St. congregation
in Scottsboro, AL and Ashville Rd
in Leeds, AL. In the Birmingham, AL area we were honored to
worship and meet with congregations at Hoover, Riverchase, Roebuck Pkwy, Heritage Place and
Decatur Hwy In Gardendale.
One of the great opportunities
we had was to attend and set up our
display at the Freed-Hardeman
University Annual Bible Lectureship in Henderson, TN.
While on a personal visit, we
had opportunity to meet with
several congregations in Hawaii,
including Pearl Harbor, Honolulu
and on the island of Maui. Thanks
to our supporters in those areas.
In TN we were blessed to →
visit Cottage Grove and Wildersville congregations.
If we can come to your
congregation or assist in any way
with information about CCDRE,
please call 919-270-8770 or email
[email protected]. •

SHAME, SHAME
According to a new report by
the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers, 1.2 billion tons of food –
as much as 50% of the world’s total
production – gets thrown away.
After Jesus miraculously fed
over 5,000, John writes that He
said, “Gather the pieces that are left
over. Let nothing be wasted.”

“The Lord brings death and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and raises up.
The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
He humbles and He exalts.
He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap;
He seats them with princes
And has them inherit a throne of honor.”

Samuel over to the Lord”

Editorial -
Patience, a Virtue
Lord, give me patience, and give it to
me right now. That is the attitude of some
of us in regard to acquiring patience, a
virtue which Paul identified to the Galatians as being an evidence of the Holy
Spirit living in our heart.
Abram (later called Abraham) and
Sarai (later called Sarah) had returned to
Canaan from Egypt where they had spent
some time due to a famine in Canaan which
is Israel today.
Edna M. Walling
While in Egypt, Abram acquired a
Newsletter Editor
handmaid for Sarai whose name was
Hagar. Now that they were back in Canaan, God told Abram, “Lift up your
eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land
that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your
offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then
your offspring could be counted.”
Years before, God told Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your
father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a
great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a
blessing, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
Now, Abram and Sarai were back in Canaan. They must have remembered
God’s promise, but were confused because they still had no offspring. They
waited and waited, but still no offspring. Sarai decided it was time for her to
help God by giving her handmaid, Hagar, to Abram as a wife. Abram
apparently thought this was a pretty good idea and didn’t object. Ishmael was
soon born as the son of Abram and Hagar.
Sarai eventually gave birth to Isaac, the promised offspring, and his and
Ishmael’s descendants are still fighting today. If Sarai had had the patience
and faith to wait on the Lord, the picture in the Middle East might be different
today. Let’s pray for more faith and patience. •
