How to Help AND How not to Help

Posted on May 21, 2013 by JD Smith

Get in the mix now please.

You have seen the news. You know it is bad. The pain is heart wrenching. Natural tendancies is to want to help. To reach out to fellow humans in need. We get this. However, we have seen time and time again how good intentions go terribly wrong and create a bigger burden. PLEASE heed this advice:

1. DO NOT get in your car and drive there unannounced. You will clog the roads and be in the way of critical responders. Even if you are bringing in “supplies”, even if you are a nurse or a doctor or have equipment. You can’t even get in without proper clearance at this time, they will turn you around.

2. DONATE to CitiIMPACT. Your dollar donation is multiplied close to 100 times through goods and services. DO NOT gather used clothing items or loose items. It also clogs the system and creates…

As spring nears, we’re all pretty much ready!

OH, your life isn’t “springing” with HOPE though?

Aurora Colorado Tragedy

Posted on July 20, 2012

Our prayers and actions are with those in this tragedy today in Aurora, Colorado. May Godly richly comfort them through these hours, days..and years of mourning and changes. Mourn with them. Romans 12:15

Lord, Be their HOPE as you have been ours. Psalm 71:5

Human nature is so depraved, we hardly know the depths to which we might fall. The dark face of evil knows know bounds in its deception and reach into the hearts of mankind, without the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ intervening.

Posted by CitiIMPACT Ministries (IMPACT Ministries): (CitiIMPACT web site)
“A youth group from Littleton, CO recently served with CitiIMPACT in Joplin.

“I checked in with Dave, the leader this morning and he says,
“Thank you, still trying to assess “damage” to my kids. Please hold our community in prayers.” “
(The group served in Joplin, MO with us at the same time we were shipping fire relief supplies to Colorado.)
Let’s continue our prayers together for those mourning these incomprehensible losses.

Peace be with you all as you cling to your loved ones a little tighter today. Redeem the time and times. Arise Prince of Peace. JD Smith
