Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

 

Over the past week and a half, the state of California, and to some extent Nevada, has sustained an almost unprecedented affliction of wildfires around our two-state area.While most of the fires have been burning in remote areas, there have been several communities that have been affected, especially on the outskirts.The CNH District’s (your) disaster relief fund was able to send some immediate relief to congregations who sustained damage among their membership or staff housing and property.We were even able to assist, in small ways, many firefighters who were housed near our office, who needed easy access food, special assistance bags, and temporary parking. We acted on behalf of all of you. I know many of you extended similar mercy ministry in your own areas and will continue to do so. We will communicate with you if additional general disaster funds are needed.

 

I encourage all of you who have been engaging in and re-doubling your efforts in the most important thing in these circumstances: Bring your prayers before the Lord King.Beseech the very courts of heaven for mercy and care for God’s people and for our land.Continue to pray for first responders and for those who have been affected.Ask that God would give wisdom to our elected officials and that they would rule well in these times.These pressures and terrors further oppress a populace that is harried and so many times lives in avoidance of the call of almighty God to turn and come unto him.
