In all their affliction He was afflicted,

and the Angel of His Presence saved them;

In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;

and He bore them and carried them

all the days of old. Isaiah 63:9

Whoever loves much, perform much,

and can accomplish much,

and what is done in love is done well.. Vincent Van Gogh

COMPASSION= LOVE + ACCION for NATURAL DISASTER AREAS:

Following the immediate work with Hurricane Harvey response, we are now gearing up for Hurricane Irma. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries is putting out an urgent plea for churches to prepare more Crisis Care Kits and get them to the warehouse as quickly as possible so that they can be processed for shipment to Florida. All the supplies were depleted after sending CCKs to Texas so we need to get them going into the warehouse as fast as possible. We are really in needed right now!

The information and list of CCKs is attached.

Ideas for Crisis Care Kits:

1. Have your church share the Crisis Care Kits list with your neighbors, and include your church address for delivery of Crisis Care kits.

2. A precious lady from a church celebrated the birthday of her son and instead of asking for gifts, she collected a large amount of Crisis Care Kits.

3. Share the information of Crisis Care Kits with your neighbors, family, co-workers, and Facebook friends.

Hurricane Irma

To support church-led disaster response efforts, go to ncm.org/Irma

Hurricane Irma is barreling north toward Cuba and Florida, after leaving a wake of destruction in the Caribbean. Antigua and Barbuda, St. Martin/Sint Maarten, St. Barthemely, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands were devastated. Next in the category-5 storm's path is Cuba and the U.S. states of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Nazarenes in St. Martin were heavily affected when the storm hit with full force. Three Nazarene churches in St. Martin were severely damaged; a newly constructed church in Marigot, the capital city, was completely destroyed. And 75 percent of church members lost their homes entirely.

Church leaders in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are mobilizing to respond to needs in their communities once Irma passes.

Earthquake strikes Mexican Cost An 8.2 earthquake struck off the southern coast of Mexico Thursday night near the Guatemala border. Initial reports stated at least 33 people were killed in Mexico and one in Guatemala. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries is collecting information and news will be shared as it is available. Prayer is requested.
