Sandy's wrath and God's path.

My sister has been on the phones coordinating with pastors in churches in New York finding out what all needs to be done and donated to help out. This is an update she recived this morning. God is alive and sees all! Praise Him! Praise Him from the highest mountain to the depths of the sea!

I have spent some time on the phone with pastors and volunteers on the ground in New York. In Staten Island, there are thousands of volunteers coordinated from churches, feeding 20,000 people a day and mucking out houses. Just on Sunday, they got 200 houses done and sanitized. In the past 2 weeks they got the work done that would normally take 6 months. This is the power of Jesus Christ when the people of God are unified and working together to help those in need. They were the first responders before FEMA or the Red Cross. They were already there, in their neighborhoods, serving God and were on the ground from day 1. I spoke with the coordinator of Staten Island churches today. The director of FEMA visited him this week. He was told that there was no way FEMA could have pulled off the incredibly detailed and volunteer-based effort they have on the ground. Truly a blessing to see the work of God! So proud of everyone working there.



So thankful that Americans of all creeds and colors are receiving help from those who are more than willing to give. We can't count on the government alone. The swath of the storm was huge and yes some places have yet to receive aid, but it's not because they are being ignored. It's for lack of help and because the storm affected so many. Please, if you have the time and means find a local church or charity that is coordinating with organizations within the affected areas donate time, money, food, etc etc. We have so much in this country we can definitely share with each other. 

Also before I go I just want to let all those who are actually reading my posts that I have a friend who drives a tractor trailer and today he was stuck behind a line of trucks carrying transformers to repair the electricity disaster up north. ALL THE TRUCKS had transformers on them! 

Don't be Silent
