by His design and HEROES

 

Deployed by Billy Graham's Rapid Response Team, in partnership with Samaritan's Purse to Colorado Springs, CO when the Waldo Canyon fire destroyed an entire neighborhood in the urban area, as well as forest service property.This time was especially trying since we've lived in this area over thirty years and knew so many affected.  

July 8-14,2012
 
Donated their online workshop to anyone needing to take it through the summer of 2013 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (Black Forrest Fire).
 

Deployed to fire ravaged Paradise, California

 

"Because life challenges us with episodes of loss, we must become skilled and committed to handling all of life from the perspective of what we call purposeful brokenness. God's grace operates in our brokenness with the long view in mind, while actively, intimately embracing His sons and daughters in a lasting embrace day by day."
   
-from The Way of Hope,  
Growing Close to God through Loss 
 
Many we met in Paradise, California, were broken and seeking answers to life, desiring to trust a living God as they moved forward. With God even tragedy can have meaning in horrendous loss.
 
Others who weren't ready to seek God in their loss were being drawn closer to Christ. In addition to what by His design provided, the church we were partnering with demonstrated an unconditional love for people, with no expectation of getting anything in return.
 
 
The ten days we spent at Magalia Pines Baptist Church was both exhausting and exhilarating because we could visibly see how our God of undeniable mercy and grace was using all of the team of volunteers to re-create community daily.
 
"The church we had before the fire is not the church we have now," Pastor Doug commented. He's spent the last 25 years at this place and is uniquely qualified by a lifetime of experience and training to be used in this resurrection.  
 
When we got there, this small church who'd lost most of their
members due to the devastation, was providing home-cooked meals twice a day and other practical help to hundreds. They've been doing this for several months now.
   
The ongoing collection of household goods that people can apply for is being housed in the church's auxiliary building formerly used for children's ministry.
