APPRECIATED
STORM SANDY
BLASTS THE EAST COAST
There was once an old comedian
who used the slogan, “Everybody
wants to get into the act.”
So it was with grateful hearts
that volunteers at the Long Island
Church of Christ in Bay Shore, New
York welcomed volunteers from the
New York police department.
With the cooperation of 4
churches on Long Island New York,
CCDRE was able to deliver food,
baby supplies, cleaning products, new
furniture, beds and other essentials,
and we stay in contact in case of
additional need in that area. 

FROM THE DESK OF
THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
Joe L. Dudney
Vice President/Executive Director
As we begin 2013, I look back
at CCDRE’s accomplishments,
losses, and the different types of
disasters that took place in 2012
where we assisted victims.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Early in
2012, we were able to begin using
our additional 38,000 square foot
warehouse. This facility has been a
great asset for our work. Included
in this space is a 5,000 sq. ft. freezer
divided into 2 separate sections to
allow us to only freeze the sections
we need at the time.
LOSSES: During the 1st quarter of
2012 we said ‘Goodbye’ to 2 of our
employees: Dewey Hawkins who
worked with CCDRE for 8 years,
and Lynn Cook who worked with
us for 16 years.
RETIREMENT: Cal Hubbard, an
18 year employee. All of these
gentlemen are greatly missed.
DISASTERS: We helped WILD
FIRE victims in CO, NM, and OK.
We assisted victims with Flooding→
due to excessive snow melt in ND,
and from heavy storms in FL, MN
and West VA. We helped many
who
were
devastated
by
TORNADOES in AL, IL, IN, KS,
KY, MO, NE, TN and TX. We
assisted victims in OH with food
after a severe storm caused an
extended POWER
OUTAGE.
We are still providing supplies to
those in the Northeast, and we
helped victims of HURRICANES
last year in NC, LA, CT, NJ, NY.
We are always thankful to be
blessed by our Lord, along with the
hard work of our many volunteers
including our truck drivers. We do
not receive funding from state or
federal government.
Over the
years, congregations, individuals,
and companies from all 50 states
have supported us financially. We
cannot thank you enough! In 2012
alone, congregations, individuals,
and companies from 49 of 50 states
and Guam sent donations to us! We
also received support from New
South Wales, Australia, and
Kharkov, Ukraine! •

The last 3 months of 2012 have
been full of extreme weather events.
Across the U.S. severe winter weather
fronts
have
caused
hazardous
conditions for many of us. CCDRE
has responded to several disasters this
year, and our goal is to help relieve
some of the human suffering that
comes with violent weather.
Super storm Sandy left a path of
destruction and waste that many
residents had never experienced.
Electrical power was out for days or
weeks in some areas.
Estimated
damage reached in the billions of
dollars, and the death toll for the U.S.
alone was over 80 persons. →

CCDRE has delivered 26 trailer
loads of supplies, food, baby products,
personal care boxes, water, cleaning
supplies, bleach, linens, diapers,
blankets, pillows, rakes, shovels,
masks, gloves, clothing, shoes, 4drawer chests and dinette sets, bed
frames and mattresses, new furniture,
new stoves, refrigerators, washers,
dryers. Additional orders have been
made for more beds, furniture and
appliances to be delivered this year.
We expect requests for help to continue
for many more months.
In November I attended the EzellHarding Christian School In-Service
meeting and set up our display and
gave out literature. I also spoke at the
Eagle Way Church of Christ Mission
Weekend in Hopkinsville, KY. I spoke
at the Oakland Church of Christ and
told the morning class about our
current activities then delivered a
lesson at the worship service on
Christ’s love.
We at Churches of Christ Disaster
Relief wish each and everyone a
HAPPY NEW YEAR, and THANKS
to our volunteers and faithful donors. I

Dwane Casteel
I look back over the year of 2012
and discover that I drove almost
30,000 miles visiting churches,
attending fellowships, retreats,
lectureships,
and
preachers’
meetings. I visited and told the
story of CCDRE to 66 churches in
17 states. It has been a privilege to
inform churches of how we assist
churches with disaster relief
supplies following major disasters
in their communities, and of the
good that comes from these efforts.
I have set up displays at retreats,
fellowships, and lectureships to
inform brethren of this work. I
have attended preachers’ meetings
where I have given brief updates of
our work and given literature to the
attendees. I look forward to being
on the road again informing
churches and individuals of our
work.
One of the great features of this
work is that we can respond quickly
to assist victims of disasters.
Hurricane Sandy hit CT, NJ and NY
on Monday, October 29th. Our first
contact with Walter Maxwell of
the Roosevelt Freeport Church of
Christ on Long Island was late
Tuesday, October 30th. After a 
phone call on Wednesday morning,
October 31, our first semi-truck
load of relief supplies left
Nashville. This truck arrived and
was
unloaded
on
Thursday
afternoon, November 1, just 3 days
after the storm. This was the first of
many semi-truck loads of relief
supplies delivered to CT, NJ and
NY.
May I suggest a way in which
you can give honor to someone, or
you can give a memorial in memory
of a loved one simply by making
a donation in their name to CCDRE.
You not only honor or remember
someone, you also bless many
people who have suffered from
disasters. These gifts are also tax
deductible.
I would like to come and tell
your congregation about this good
ministry. I may be reached at 1615-476-1777 or at our toll free
number 1-888-541-1848.
May God bless you richly in this
New Year of 2013. 

WORST STORM IN A
CENTURY
Authorities identified Sandy as the
worst storm to hit New Jersey in a
century. Nearly 350,000 homes were
destroyed, 116,000 people evacuated or
displaced and nearly 7 million people
lost power.
Some were reminded of the worst
recorded East Coast storm in 1938,
known as the Long Island Express,
which killed nearly 800 people. 

Greetings from Missouri! I have
been visiting churches in Nebraska the
last month. I have met many fine
people and was able to introduce
CCDRE to them. Until now, I haven’t
spent much time in Nebraska, and was
surprised it takes such a long time to
drive across the state from east to west.
I visited with my friend, George
Robison, in Ogallala then went to
North Platte, Hastings, Grand Island,
York, Broken Bow, and Scottsbluff. I
was able to take a short break and
spend time with family in December. I
will be traveling to Illinois and
Arkansas in January and February.
I would like to come to your
congregation and tell you about the
work CCDRE is doing to help victims
of disasters. I am sure you will read
about the work being done in the NY
and NJ areas. Please keep all of these
in your prayers. I hope we can assist
you and your congregation. You may
contact us at 615-833-0888 or toll free
1-888-541-2848. 

getting into boilers, many were without
heat for weeks. Motels were filled with
people displaced from their homes. Due to
the power outage, a third of the gas stations
were open, so gasoline was rationed to
even number license plates on even days.
Many were waiting in line for hours,
sometimes all night to fill up or get a few
gallons in a container.
A total of 26
truckloads of
supplies have thus
far been delivered
to Hurricane Sandy

Mike Lewis
As we began the 4th quarter of this
year, it appeared that 2012 might end early,
as far as disasters taking place, but things
always seem to happen that let us know
we’re not in charge! We are all still
thinking about Hurricane Sandy, but here is
a brief summary of others that needed help
in the last 12 months.
Disasters began early with the tornado
season first striking AL in January, so we
assisted victims in the Birmingham area.
Then in March and April, tornadoes caused
more devastation, and we helped other
victims in AL, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MO,
and TN. Next, the wildfires started in CO
and NM just several weeks before tropical
storm Debbie hit northern FL, so we
assisted the Live Oak, FL area. Wildfire
victims received assistance in Bellvue, CO
and between Ruidoso and Capitan, NM. A
month later, fires were still burning, only
then we were helping victims near
Colorado Springs, CO. In September,
Hurricane Isaac again pounded the New
Orleans area, with many still trying to
recover from Hurricane Katrina seven
years earlier! We helped the communities
near Slidell, New Orleans, and La Place,
LA. Things seemed to be slowing down
for us, then we got news of a super tropical
storm building in the Atlantic, heading
towards the Northeast. When things began
to slow down for our Operations Center,
here came Hurricane Sandy the end of
October!
I made 2 trips to the northeast to
follow-up with what was needed and how
distributions were going. I drove through
the communities in NJ, NY, and CT.
Many were without power for 3-4 weeks,
and because of the saltwater and sand →
By December 13, 2012, over a quarter
million people had applied for FEMA
assistance.
The low percentage of
qualified builders and workers in the area
compared to the number of homes that
need repair will stretch the re-building
timeframe to more than a year for many!
Please continue to pray for the
disaster victims all over this country. Lives
are being changed as hundreds of Bible
studies are taking place in the disaster
areas.
One New York
congregation has
requests for over
100 Bible Studies!
The Lord’s servants are showing their
neighbors that the love we have for others
should reach out far beyond what happens
in a building, should last much longer than
a few hours on Sunday and mid-week, and
that yes, we care about their physical
needs, but we are very concerned about
their spiritual well-being.
Many thanks to everyone who
continues to support this effort. •

THANKS, FAIRFIELD!
Tom Rutledge, Treasurer for
the Fairfield Church of Christ in
Bell Buckle, TN, sends the
following message explaining why
the Fairfield Church is increasing
their annual contribution by
approximately 333%.
“We believe your work is one where
every dollar received is put to work in the
mission field where it is most needed. We
commend your organization for your hard
work and tremendous effort on behalf of
those who have been devastated by
unanticipated occurrences beyond their
control. We pray that your work will
continue to bring comfort to those who are
hurting and are in need of immediate
assistance. It is both encouraging and
amazing to see and hear of the wonderful
way in which your organization is able to
provide almost instantaneous assistance to
those whose lives have been so adversely
impacted. May God bless your continued
efforts to bring comfort to those in need.”
CCDRE expresses sincere appreciation for the faith and generosity of
the Fairfield Church. Someone has

CLOSURE SOMETIMES COMES
SLOWLY.
In Disaster Relief work it is often
easy to focus on the most recent
situation and forget disasters that have
happened in the past. With that in
mind I recently did some follow-up
visits to churches in and around
Bastrop, TX, a city that was inundated
by fires in September and October of
2011. Originally there were almost
1700 homes that were destroyed and
$325 million in damage. CCDRE sent
several truck loads of assistance.
When I walked into the church
building in Bastrop I saw signs of
ongoing assistance still taking place. I
was surprised when I learned that there
were still several hundred families who
would be considered homeless over a
year after the fire. People are living in
makeshift shacks, tents, busses, even
sleeping in their cars!
A member of the church, with
great emotion, talked to me and
expressed his appreciation for the help
that came from Nashville. He said it
was over- whelming to see the love that
was passed along to the people of
Bastrop in the form of food, cleanup
supplies, furniture, appliances, etc.
Several families that have been helped
are now members of the congregation.
Sometimes closure after a disaster
comes soon, but often takes time to see
the end. This is especially true after
fires. More than just losing homes,
sometimes people lose the forest where
their house was located, and find 
that a bare piece of hilltop is far less
valuable than one surrounded by trees.
If they decide to sell and build
elsewhere the loss in property value
can be compounded by other factors.
This is not only true in Bastrop
but in other areas that have experienced
fires in the recent past like CO and
NM. I don’t intend to take focus away
from the disaster in the Northeast
because I think that will be a long and
drawn out recovery as well. I only ask
that we continue to remember the
victims of disasters who are still
struggling with loss as well as our
members who are helping them.
If you would like for me to come
and speak to your congregation in the
southwest and western U.S. about what
CCDRE is doing across the country,
contact our Nashville Operation Center
at toll free 1-888-541-2848. 
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
“Yes, Sir.”
That was the answer that Ralph
Coles, CCDRE Associate Director
of Outreach & Follow-up, gave to
Jesse Pettengill, Minister of the
West Islip Church of Christ in West
Islip, NY, when Minister Pettengill,
with an incredulous tone in his
voice asked, “You are going to send
a 48 foot semi-truck full of disaster
relief supplies for the church in
West Islip to distribute to our
neighbors in need in the name of
Christ, and all I have to do is sign
an invoice?”
It all seemed too easy to
Minister Pettengill, but that’s the
way CCDRE operates! 

CCDRE appreciated the detailed
description furnished by Minister
Pettengill of the activities surrounding
the receiving and distribution of the
supplies delivered by CCDRE. It was
a challenge to find an area large
enough to store such a voluminous
amount of supplies, but thanks to Eric
from Bruce Electric in Lindenhurst
they were able to work it out. Minister
Pettengill wrote, “God has a way of
arranging these things.”
The Pettengill home barely
escaped damage as the waters reached
within a couple hundred feet of their
home. He was writing by candlelight
and the illumination of his LCD laptop
screen, and they had been 9 days
without power. Two million people
were without power.
He wrote, “Thanks to countless
volunteers and millions in donations,
Church of Christ Disaster Relief is able
to respond quickly to domestic needs
caused by natural disasters. Their
trucks of blessing came full of non
perishable food, water, clothing,
blankets, sheets, pillows, cleaning
supplies, mops, brooms, rakes, shovels,
etc.
It was just the things our
community needed.” 

I would like to extend a
heartfelt thank you to the
congregations and individuals that
have supported CCDRE over the
past year. As we continue to work
in 2013, we do not know what
challenges and disasters lay ahead.
We are confident that wherever and
whenever those occur, your support
of this organization will allow local
congregations of the Church of
Christ to respond to those
opportunities. As a direct result of
your
support,
thousands
of
individuals have been assisted by
fellow Christians. Many have had
an opportunity to hear about Jesus
Christ and have seen Christianity in
action through our fellow brethren.
It is such an honor and
privilege to work with CCDRE and
to have the opportunity to visit
congregations and meet brethren
across the country. During the past
quarter, we set up our display at
Harding University during their
annual lectureship and met many
supporters, while having an
opportunity to introduce others to
CCDRE. In Louisiana, we visited
various
locations
including
Alexandria, Morgan City and the
Goodwood Blvd. congregation in
Baton Rouge. In early November,
we set up our display at the 17th
Annual South Lectureship hosted
by the Palm Beach Lakes
congregation. Our special thanks to
the brethren there for their kindness
and hospitality. Many brethren that
we met spoke of the various
hurricanes, tornadoes and events
that have occurred in past years and
the support that CCDRE was able to
provide. While in south Florida, we
also visited the Sunset congregation
in Miami and Suncoast in Lake
Worth. We appreciate your support!
In December, we had a
wonderful visit with the Raleigh
Church of Christ in Raleigh, NC.
The congregation was very
hospitable and appreciated seeing
the various boxes of supplies that
are provided by CCDRE to local
congregations to assist those
impacted by disasters.
Many
commented that they have been
aware of CCDRE but had a better
understanding of the work after
seeing the materials first hand. It
was also a pleasure to visit with the
East Wood Church of Christ in
Paris, TN and brethren from the
Glendale Church of Christ in
Murray, KY. Both of these congregations have been supporters of
CCDRE, and we are grateful for
their open hearts and desire to reach
out and help others.
We would like to come to your
congregation and share information
about CCDRE. If you are in the
southeastern U.S. and would like to
hear more about this work, please
contact me at 1-919-270-8770 or at
[email protected].
We would be honored to visit
with you at anytime. 
MESSAGE ABOUT NEW
JERSEY
Dawn Adcock sends the
following thanks for the work done
by CCDRE in New Jersey:
“It is with my utmost thanks
that I write this letter. I have been
absolutely amazed at your response
to help with the Gateway Church of
Christ in New Jersey. What you did
has been such help not only to
them, but also to everyone in their
community. The relief trucks were
unloaded and supplies were given to
so many who were in desperate
need, and for that I thank you.
Thank you that the truck was on its
way so quickly with everything you
knew that was needed. The Church
of Christ disaster team was just the
beginning. Once the Church of
Christ disaster truck arrived, it
brought immediate attention from
the media, etc. that then triggered
more help and more volunteers.
Thank you for making a difference
in Union Beach, NJ. Through your
efforts a huge impact has been
made on all those who were
affected by Hurricane Sandy. There
is no telling how many hearts have
been touched as a result of your
efforts. Thanks from the bottom of
my heart.” Dawn Adcock

SANDY DAMAGE IN
FREEHOLD, NEW JERSEY
Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918), was an American poet and journalist who was best known for
his poem “Trees.” He was killed in World War I
while attacking a German machine-gun nest
along the Oureq River in France.
Can’t you imagine his sadness if he could
see this beautiful tree which God fashioned for
so many years, and is now struck down by a
savage storm such as Sandy.
Sandy left this house bottom up
CCDRE delivered food, baby products,
personal care items, water, cleaning supplies,
linens, and other essential items to the Freeehold
Church of Christ for distribution to the disaster
survivors in that area.

TREES
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

WATCHOUT FOR
DISASTER
HUSTLERS!
With disasters come the eager
repairmen who will create a disaster
of their own unless the victims are
vigilant and on their toes.
The
unethical
repairmen
promise anything, take your money,
do nothing, or do sloppy work, and
you never see them again!
Unfortunately, senior citizens are
easy prey.
Be careful and take your time
before hiring a post-disaster
contractor. You are nervous, upset,
suffering through a new traumatic
experience, and vulnerable, so try to
be patient and think before you act.
Never hire a contractor on the
spot. Check with Better Business
Bureau or with someone whom you
know has used this contractor.
There is no use in checking his/her
references which he has given you
because he has only given you
names of people who will say good
things about him.
Do not hire someone who
comes to your door. Good contractors don’t have to solicit work
Their work speaks for itself.
Avoid those who only give you
a P.O. box number where they may
be reached (and it may be
fictitious.) The same applies to a
bogus phone number.
Get everything in writing on
the company’s letterhead paper. Get
the estimates, prices, materials,
completion dates, and his driver’s
license number. Share this information with your insurer before you
sign anything.
Pay them only after the work
has been performed satisfactorily.
Be cautious! People are being
ripped off everyday. Be sure you
are not the next one. 

PRAY WITHOUT
CEASING
That was the admonition that Paul
gave to the Thessalonians.
The late Alan Bryan (19252006), a highly respected and popular
Church of Christ Preacher and author
back in the last century, had a sermon
on “The Meaning of Prayer” which he
delivered more than 3,000 times.
There were 50,000 responses, and
everywhere he went he was requested
to deliver this sermon. He put it into
pamphlet form and following are some
excerpts:
“The only way we can learn to
pray is by praying.
“Through the ages men have read
the accounts of the Son of God and
with open astonishment have expressed
their bewilderment at the wisdom and
power of Jesus. Until He came to
earth, no one like Him had been among
men. Never again on this earth will
mankind behold one possessing such
wisdom
and
power
as
that
demonstrated by Christ. When all
creatures gather around the great white
throne to sing praises to Jehovah,
9
we, then, will behold at God’s right
hand the Elder Brother, the One who
died that we might live, the One who
lived here on earth that we might go
home to God in heaven and then
worship our God through eternity.
Only then will we behold One
possessing such wisdom and power.
“In studying Christ’s life one
cannot escape the place that prayer had
in His life. However, we can never
understand Him and that which He
was able to do unless we begin to
understand the true meaning of the
simple words He uttered, ‘I can of
myself do nothing.’ If the Son of God
in all of His wisdom and power had to
depend upon God, how much more
should we, weak mortals that we are,
depend upon God. We must learn how
to pray and then learn to pray.
“If there were but one sermon for
me to preach, one lesson for me to
present, one article for me to write, or
one paragraph left for me to compose, I
would use that precious opportunity to
try to help people to learn to pray.
With my parting breath I would want to
convey, to the lowly creatures that we
are, the lofty peaks we can reach when
we truly learn to pray. We must use
the great opportunities of prayer to
possess much of the power God means
for us to have. Yet such power remains
neglected and unused because of our
failure to depend upon our Maker. By
turning to Him in the outpouring of our
soul we pray and pray and pray.
“Of all of the subjects that I
believe individuals must be taught and actually want to be taught – none
are more important than the subject of
prayer.
“You must learn as an individual
that prayer, when properly learned, is
one of the most natural things a person
can do.
“When we have no other place to
go, the only place we can go is to God.
It is absolutely essential that we learn
to depend upon God. It is only when
we learn to bow down before the only
God, and not before others, that God
can truly lift our souls to Him.”

“For the Lord Himself will come down from
heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of
the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that,
we who are still alive and are left will be caught
up together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord
forever. Therefore encourage each other with
these words.”

LIVE IN PEACE
Most of us prefer to live in peace. There are
those who seem to thrive on turmoil, disagreement, strife, discord, and conflict, but by examining the scriptures, we have to conclude that
type of conduct isn’t pleasing to the Lord.
When the Apostle Paul was outlining to
Titus the principles by which the Cretan
Christians should live, he reminded the people
“to be peaceable.” He wrote to the Romans,
“Live in harmony with one another,” and he
went on to say, “If it is possible, as far as it
depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
He referred to God as “the God of peace.”

When he was relating to the Corinthians some
Newsletter Editor
of the principles surrounding marriage, he
included, “God has called us to live in peace.” His final greetings to them included
“live in peace.”
It was probably Solomon who wrote, “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a
house full of feasting with strife.” With as many wives as Solomon had, he could
probably speak authoritatively on living “with strife.” Solomon tells us among the
things which God hates is discord. He stated further, “God is not a God of disorder but
of peace.”
It was the wisest and greatest man of all time who included in the Beatitudes,
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God,” and when He was
describing the influence which Christians have on others, He said “and be at peace with
each other.”
To the Colossians Paul wrote, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts;…you
were called to peace.” To the Thessalonians he wrote, “Live in peace with each other.”
The writer of Hebrews tells us, “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to
be holy…”
James, probably Jesus’ half brother, describes the “wisdom that comes from
heaven” as “peace-loving.” Then he says, “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a
harvest of righteousness.”
“Peace” is mentioned in 52 books of the Bible. May each of us do our part in
promoting peace among men – and women. 
