Domestic Outreaches Spring/Summer 2009

Disasters have devastated several areas in the United States in the past few months: storms, floods, forest fires, tornados and hurricanes. Even in the southeastern part of America, floods have impacted the northern part of Florida. For several weeks, the CA team has trucked supplies into the area and helped local residents in what has been called the worst flood in 500 years.

In the last three months, 35 semi-truck loads of food, water, and supplies have cleared our warehouse and moved to help people at the edge of disaster. During this same time, 18 outreach events have been held to assist people in this time of economic crisis. Wheelchairs have been distributed, school desks shipped, used computers sent and medical supplies given. This has been one of the finest seasons of ministry in the history of Compassionate Alliance.

CA is aligned with these churches in areas of ministry: Meadowbrook Church, the Assemblies of God, New Testament Baptist Church, the Christian Church, and many of other fellowships and organizations. These local churches are the distribution points for the ministry. Hundreds of volunteers have found a place of significant ministry through CA in the warehouse preparing the product or at the outreach distribution centers. All share in the work and blessings of following Christ and "remembering the poor and needy."

Have you been blessed with much? Then you may feel the need to give back to help others, for we are not to be consumers only but rather suppliers of the abundance of God's gifts. It is as if we are the channel through which God's blessings flow. Thank you for your help. Let us all be found faithful in our compassionate alliances.

You can help those in need by sending your gift to Compassionate Alliance. Your generosity will help make a difference in the lives of many.
