Appalachian Helene Response (recommended by a tumblr user)

If you have extra income to spare, please consider donating some to one or more of these resources. Direct Relief and Americares has efforts focused in Florida and All Hands and Hearts has teams in North Carolina. Samaritans Purse has efforts in quite a few places, focused in Florida and North Carolina, but also has efforts in Georgia and Tennessee.

If you have any other suggestions for disaster relief efforts that have Hurrican Helene recovery efforts, please let me know and I'll add them to the list. I just did a quick online search for these and they all seem legit.

Don't Stop Praying

What's your impossible? Your "I need a miracle"

What's got you barely hanging by a single thread?

What looks so hopeless now? What weighs down your heart with doubt?

You beg for a breakthrough, but no sign of breakthrough yet

When you've cried, and you've cried 'til your tears run dry

The answer won't come, and you don't know why

And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time

Don't stop praying

Don't stop calling on Jesus' name

Keep on pounding on Heaven's door

And let your knees wear out the floor

Don't stop believing

'Cause mountains move with just a little faith

And your Father's heard every single word you're saying

So, don't stop praying

He's close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit

The Alpha and Omega knows how your story ends

When you've cried, and you've cried 'til your tears run dry

The answer won't come, and you don't know why

And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time

Oh, do it one more time

And don't stop praying

Don't stop calling on Jesus' name

Keep on pounding on Heaven's door

And let your knees wear out the floor

Don't stop believing

'Cause mountains move with just a little faith

And your Father's heard every single word you're saying

So, don't stop praying

(Don't stop, don't stop praying)

Oh-oh

(Don't stop, don't stop praying) oh, don't stop praying

(Don't stop, don't stop praying)

Oh-oh

Don't stop praying for the prodigal

Don't stop praying for the miracle

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

Don't stop praying that addictions end

Don't stop praying for deliverance

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

Oh, don't stop praying for the sickness healed

Don't stop praying for His power revealed

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

No, don't stop praying for the Kingdom come

Don't stop praying that His will be done

Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen

Don't stop praying

Don't stop calling on Jesus' name

Keep on pounding on Heaven's door

Let your knees wear out the floor

Don't stop believing

'Cause mountains move with just a little faith

And your Father's heard every single word you're saying

So, don't stop praying

(Don't stop, don't stop praying)

(Don't stop, don't stop praying) oh, don't stop praying

(Don't stop, don't stop praying) hey, don't you give up now

No, don't stop praying

Operation Christmas Child

Tis the season to start thinking about Christmas and charities. One charity/ministry you could think about donating to is my favorite, Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse. (This is a Christian Organization, so if that bothers you, please just scroll on.)

My church and family have been heavily involved with this ministry for many many years now, and I’ve seen first hand the blessings it provides to families. The goal is to try to give every child, no matter where or what their income is, a present for Christmas. 

You can support the ministry with money for shipping, or packing your own gift and taking it to a drop off center.

It begins with a shoebox, decorated with wrapping paper. Then, it’s filled with school supplies (notebooks, pencils, sharpener, erasers, crayons) hygiene products (soap, washcloth, toothbrush, bandaids) and toys/clothes/useful items (bags, clotheslines, bungee cords, SOCCER BALLS (deflated with a pump), beanie babies, sewing kits). Then, we put in a picture of our congregation and a personal message from our church. Each box is packed according to gender and age group, since in a lot of countries, different kids of different ages will have different roles. Girls after 13 are expected to help their mothers with childcare, so sewing kits, clothes lines, and hair care stuff are good. Where as the boys help out the men, so duct tape and bungee cords are good for them. 

We had a man from Africa, who received a shoebox as a child with a Soccer Ball in it, said it made him the most popular boy in his village. They love to play soccer, and often, they play with whatever they can, and before his ball, they were playing with a rock wrapped in duct tape. 

Here’s our church having a packing party! In one Sunday, we packed 363 boxes! 

In a lot of these countries, children won’t get the opportunity to go to school unless they can provide their own supplies. With the supplies in the box, we’re giving them a chance. I specifically asked my mom, who is the drop off leader for our county, about Menstrual supplies. Most girls aren’t able to attend school while on their period, because they don’t have hygiene supplies. She said: Tampons and diva cups are bad, because most people aren’t going to know how to use them, disposable pads are fine, but reusable cloth pads are the best! So arm a girl with clean hygiene products and school supplies?! Imagine what she can do!!

And look at how happy these kiddos get!

Don’t you want to be a part of that?

You can find your local drop off center here, and learn more information here. 

Most drop off centers should be complying with COVID regulations.

Also things to note, what NOT to put in a box: 

-Liquids, like soap, shampoo, water bottles, toothpaste etc. They can spill, and some customs don’t allow it.

-Candy and other food. Again, some customs don’t allow it, and they could melt or expire. 

-Anything that looks war related. Camo, guns, knives, etc. Some of these kids live in War torn countries, and that would not bring them joy. Camo clothes are especially dangerous, because some of these countries utilize child soldiers, wearing camo could get them killed. Scissors, however, are okay. 

Operation Christmas Child is a branch of Samaritan’s Purse, which was founded by Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham. Like I said, my mom is a major volunteer. So believe me when I say most, if not all donations, go directly to the ministry, and not to any CEO pockets.

Hurricane Helene Relief

To any fellow Americans (or generous international folks) who want to help donate towards the efforts to assist those devastated by Hurricane Helene, I highly recommend Samaritan's Purse.

They are an organization I've trusted for years.

It is unfortunate that we have organizations that base themselves on the guise of charitable effort and take people's heart-felt, generous money and do not put it where it was meant to go (Red Cross and FEMA looking rather poor right now). So if you want to donate, but not to Samaritan's Purse, please be on watch for reliable and honest groups.

After sharing the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus said “Go and do likewise.” That is the mission of Samaritan's Purse—to follow the examp

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Our parish will be supporting Operation Christmas Child again this year. This ministry of Samaritan’s Purse collects and distributes gift-filled shoeboxes and the message of God’s love to children in trying circumstances around the world.

Parishioners of all ages can fill a shoebox and be involved in this simply, hands-on mission project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus Christ.

A $7 donation is requested for each shoebox to help cover shipping and program costs).

Informational brochures and boxes are available on stage in the parish hall or from Michelle Place.

Our final collection date will be Sunday, November 15. Completed shoeboxes can be delivered to the church anytime before then.
