With the cooperation of 4 churches on Long Island New York, CCDRE was able to deliver food, baby supplies, cleaning products, new furniture, beds and other essentials, and we stay in contact in case of additional need in that area.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Joe L. Dudney Vice President/Executive Director As we begin 2013, I look back at CCDRE’s accomplishments, losses, and the different types of disasters that took place in 2012 where we assisted victims. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Early in 2012, we were able to begin using our additional 38,000 square foot warehouse. This facility has been a great asset for our work. Included in this space is a 5,000 sq. ft. freezer divided into 2 separate sections to allow us to only freeze the sections we need at the time. LOSSES: During the 1st quarter of 2012 we said ‘Goodbye’ to 2 of our employees: Dewey Hawkins who worked with CCDRE for 8 years, and Lynn Cook who worked with us for 16 years. RETIREMENT: Cal Hubbard, an 18 year employee. All of these gentlemen are greatly missed. DISASTERS: We helped WILD FIRE victims in CO, NM, and OK. We assisted victims with Flooding→ due to excessive snow melt in ND, and from heavy storms in FL, MN and West VA. We helped many who were devastated by TORNADOES in AL, IL, IN, KS, KY, MO, NE, TN and TX. We assisted victims in OH with food after a severe storm caused an extended POWER OUTAGE. We are still providing supplies to those in the Northeast, and we helped victims of HURRICANES last year in NC, LA, CT, NJ, NY. We are always thankful to be blessed by our Lord, along with the hard work of our many volunteers including our truck drivers. We do not receive funding from state or federal government. Over the years, congregations, individuals, and companies from all 50 states have supported us financially. We cannot thank you enough! In 2012 alone, congregations, individuals, and companies from 49 of 50 states and Guam sent donations to us! We also received support from New South Wales, Australia, and Kharkov, Ukraine! • ******** ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH & FOLLOW-UP Ralph Coles The last 3 months of 2012 have been full of extreme weather events. Across the U.S. severe winter weather fronts have caused hazardous conditions for many of us. CCDRE has responded to several disasters this year, and our goal is to help relieve some of the human suffering that comes with violent weather. Super storm Sandy left a path of destruction and waste that many residents had never experienced. Electrical power was out for days or weeks in some areas. Estimated damage reached in the billions of dollars, and the death toll for the U.S. alone was over 80 persons. → 2 Ralph Coles CCDRE has delivered 26 trailer loads of supplies, food, baby products, personal care boxes, water, cleaning supplies, bleach, linens, diapers, blankets, pillows, rakes, shovels, masks, gloves, clothing, shoes, 4drawer chests and dinette sets, bed frames and mattresses, new furniture, new stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers. Additional orders have been made for more beds, furniture and appliances to be delivered this year. We expect requests for help to continue for many more months. In November I attended the EzellHarding Christian School In-Service meeting and set up our display and gave out literature. I also spoke at the Eagle Way Church of Christ Mission Weekend in Hopkinsville, KY. I spoke at the Oakland Church of Christ and told the morning class about our current activities then delivered a lesson at the worship service on Christ’s love. We at Churches of Christ Disaster Relief wish each and everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR, and THANKS to our volunteers and faithful donors. I can be contacted at 615-833-0888 or 615-476-1682. • ******** “Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.” -Writer of Hebrews ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Dwane Casteel I look back over the year of 2012 and discover that I drove almost 30,000 miles visiting churches, attending fellowships, retreats, lectureships, and preachers’ meetings. I visited and told the story of CCDRE to 66 churches in 17 states. It has been a privilege to inform churches of how we assist churches with disaster relief supplies following major disasters in their communities, and of the good that comes from these efforts. I have set up displays at retreats, fellowships, and lectureships to inform brethren of this work. I have attended preachers’ meetings where I have given brief updates of our work and given literature to the attendees. I look forward to being on the road again informing churches and individuals of our work. One of the great features of this work is that we can respond quickly to assist victims of disasters. Hurricane Sandy hit CT, NJ and NY on Monday, October 29th. Our first contact with Walter Maxwell of the Roosevelt Freeport Church of Christ on Long Island was late Tuesday, October 30th. After a phone call on Wednesday morning, October 31, our first semi-truck load of relief supplies left Nashville. This truck arrived and was unloaded on Thursday afternoon, November 1, just 3 days after the storm. This was the first of many semi-truck loads of relief supplies delivered to CT, NJ and NY. May I suggest a way in which you can give honor to someone, or you can give a memorial in memory of a loved one simply by making a donation in their name to CCDRE. You not only honor or remember someone, you also bless many people who have suffered from disasters. These gifts are also tax deductible. I would like to come and tell your congregation about this good ministry. I may be reached at 1615-476-1777 or at our toll free number 1-888-541-1848. May God bless you richly in this New Year of 2013. Storm Sandy destruction in Union Beach, NJ ** * * * * * * WORST STORM IN A CENTURY Authorities identified Sandy as the worst storm to hit New Jersey in a century. Nearly 350,000 homes were destroyed, 116,000 people evacuated or displaced and nearly 7 million people lost power. Some were reminded of the worst recorded East Coast storm in 1938, known as the Long Island Express, which killed nearly 800 people. 3 ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Dennis McClintock Greetings from Missouri! I have been visiting churches in Nebraska the last month. I have met many fine people and was able to introduce CCDRE to them. Until now, I haven’t spent much time in Nebraska, and was surprised it takes such a long time to drive across the state from east to west. I visited with my friend, George Robison, in Ogallala then went to North Platte, Hastings, Grand Island, York, Broken Bow, and Scottsbluff. I was able to take a short break and spend time with family in December. I will be traveling to Illinois and Arkansas in January and February. I would like to come to your congregation and tell you about the work CCDRE is doing to help victims of disasters. I am sure you will read about the work being done in the NY and NJ areas. Please keep all of these in your prayers. I hope we can assist you and your congregation. You may contact us at 615-833-0888 or toll free 1-888-541-2848. Destruction in Union Beach, NJ ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH & FOLLOWUP getting into boilers, many were without heat for weeks. Motels were filled with people displaced from their homes. Due to the power outage, a third of the gas stations were open, so gasoline was rationed to even number license plates on even days. Many were waiting in line for hours, sometimes all night to fill up or get a few gallons in a container. A total of 26 truckloads of supplies have thus far been delivered to Hurricane Sandy victims Mike Lewis As we began the 4th quarter of this year, it appeared that 2012 might end early, as far as disasters taking place, but things always seem to happen that let us know we’re not in charge! We are all still thinking about Hurricane Sandy, but here is a brief summary of others that needed help in the last 12 months. Disasters began early with the tornado season first striking AL in January, so we assisted victims in the Birmingham area. Then in March and April, tornadoes caused more devastation, and we helped other victims in AL, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MO, and TN. Next, the wildfires started in CO and NM just several weeks before tropical storm Debbie hit northern FL, so we assisted the Live Oak, FL area. Wildfire victims received assistance in Bellvue, CO and between Ruidoso and Capitan, NM. A month later, fires were still burning, only then we were helping victims near Colorado Springs, CO. In September, Hurricane Isaac again pounded the New Orleans area, with many still trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina seven years earlier! We helped the communities near Slidell, New Orleans, and La Place, LA. Things seemed to be slowing down for us, then we got news of a super tropical storm building in the Atlantic, heading towards the Northeast. When things began to slow down for our Operations Center, here came Hurricane Sandy the end of October! I made 2 trips to the northeast to follow-up with what was needed and how distributions were going. I drove through the communities in NJ, NY, and CT. Many were without power for 3-4 weeks, and because of the saltwater and sand → By December 13, 2012, over a quarter million people had applied for FEMA assistance. The low percentage of qualified builders and workers in the area compared to the number of homes that need repair will stretch the re-building timeframe to more than a year for many! Please continue to pray for the disaster victims all over this country. Lives are being changed as hundreds of Bible studies are taking place in the disaster areas. One New York congregation has requests for over 100 Bible Studies! The Lord’s servants are showing their neighbors that the love we have for others should reach out far beyond what happens in a building, should last much longer than a few hours on Sunday and mid-week, and that yes, we care about their physical needs, but we are very concerned about their spiritual well-being. Many thanks to everyone who continues to support this effort. • ******** “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” - John, son of Elizabeth and Zacharias, testifies about Jesus 4 WORKERS WELCOMED FROM ASHLAND CITY, TN Pictured above L to R: Zelma Parrish, Louise Burney, Anita Lunn, Phil Lunn CCDRE welcomed these helpful, hard working volunteers from Ashland City, TN and invite them back any time. • ******** THANKS, FAIRFIELD! Tom Rutledge, Treasurer for the Fairfield Church of Christ in Bell Buckle, TN, sends the following message explaining why the Fairfield Church is increasing their annual contribution by approximately 333%. “We believe your work is one where every dollar received is put to work in the mission field where it is most needed. We commend your organization for your hard work and tremendous effort on behalf of those who have been devastated by unanticipated occurrences beyond their control. We pray that your work will continue to bring comfort to those who are hurting and are in need of immediate assistance. It is both encouraging and amazing to see and hear of the wonderful way in which your organization is able to provide almost instantaneous assistance to those whose lives have been so adversely impacted. May God bless your continued efforts to bring comfort to those in need.” CCDRE expresses sincere appreciation for the faith and generosity of the Fairfield Church. Someone has said, “The more I shovel out, the more the Lord shovels in, and His shovel is bigger than mine.” • ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Ken Leonard CLOSURE SOMETIMES COMES SLOWLY. In Disaster Relief work it is often easy to focus on the most recent situation and forget disasters that have happened in the past. With that in mind I recently did some follow-up visits to churches in and around Bastrop, TX, a city that was inundated by fires in September and October of 2011. Originally there were almost 1700 homes that were destroyed and $325 million in damage. CCDRE sent several truck loads of assistance. When I walked into the church building in Bastrop I saw signs of ongoing assistance still taking place. I was surprised when I learned that there were still several hundred families who would be considered homeless over a year after the fire. People are living in makeshift shacks, tents, busses, even sleeping in their cars! A member of the church, with great emotion, talked to me and expressed his appreciation for the help that came from Nashville. He said it was over- whelming to see the love that was passed along to the people of Bastrop in the form of food, cleanup supplies, furniture, appliances, etc. Several families that have been helped are now members of the congregation. Sometimes closure after a disaster comes soon, but often takes time to see the end. This is especially true after fires. More than just losing homes, sometimes people lose the forest where their house was located, and find that a bare piece of hilltop is far less valuable than one surrounded by trees. If they decide to sell and build elsewhere the loss in property value can be compounded by other factors. This is not only true in Bastrop but in other areas that have experienced fires in the recent past like CO and NM. I don’t intend to take focus away from the disaster in the Northeast because I think that will be a long and drawn out recovery as well. I only ask that we continue to remember the victims of disasters who are still struggling with loss as well as our members who are helping them. If you would like for me to come and speak to your congregation in the southwest and western U.S. about what CCDRE is doing across the country, contact our Nashville Operation Center at toll free 1-888-541-2848. BELIEVE IT OR NOT “Yes, Sir.” That was the answer that Ralph Coles, CCDRE Associate Director of Outreach & Follow-up, gave to Jesse Pettengill, Minister of the West Islip Church of Christ in West Islip, NY, when Minister Pettengill, with an incredulous tone in his voice asked, “You are going to send a 48 foot semi-truck full of disaster relief supplies for the church in West Islip to distribute to our neighbors in need in the name of Christ, and all I have to do is sign an invoice?” It all seemed too easy to Minister Pettengill, but that’s the way CCDRE operates! ******** Texas wildfire damage Wildfire damage in New Mexico ******** BEWARE OF HURRICANE HAZARDS Hurricanes have an impact on health long after they are gone. Because storm related flooding can take weeks to subside, watch for mosquito-borne viruses, allergies and asthma, mental illness and stomach problems. 5 CCDRE appreciated the detailed description furnished by Minister Pettengill of the activities surrounding the receiving and distribution of the supplies delivered by CCDRE. It was a challenge to find an area large enough to store such a voluminous amount of supplies, but thanks to Eric from Bruce Electric in Lindenhurst they were able to work it out. Minister Pettengill wrote, “God has a way of arranging these things.” The Pettengill home barely escaped damage as the waters reached within a couple hundred feet of their home. He was writing by candlelight and the illumination of his LCD laptop screen, and they had been 9 days without power. Two million people were without power. He wrote, “Thanks to countless volunteers and millions in donations, Church of Christ Disaster Relief is able to respond quickly to domestic needs caused by natural disasters. Their trucks of blessing came full of non perishable food, water, clothing, blankets, sheets, pillows, cleaning supplies, mops, brooms, rakes, shovels, etc. It was just the things our community needed.” ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Ken Lowry I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the congregations and individuals that have supported CCDRE over the past year. As we continue to work in 2013, we do not know what challenges and disasters lay ahead. We are confident that wherever and whenever those occur, your support of this organization will allow local congregations of the Church of Christ to respond to those opportunities. As a direct result of your support, thousands of individuals have been assisted by fellow Christians. Many have had an opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ and have seen Christianity in action through our fellow brethren. It is such an honor and privilege to work with CCDRE and to have the opportunity to visit congregations and meet brethren across the country. During the past quarter, we set up our display at Harding University during their annual lectureship and met many supporters, while having an opportunity to introduce others to CCDRE. In Louisiana, we visited various locations including Alexandria, Morgan City and the Goodwood Blvd. congregation in Baton Rouge. In early November, we set up our display at the 17th Annual South Lectureship hosted by the Palm Beach Lakes congregation. Our special thanks to the brethren there for their kindness and hospitality. Many brethren that we met spoke of the various hurricanes, tornadoes and events that have occurred in past years and the support that CCDRE was able to provide. While in south Florida, we also visited the Sunset congregation in Miami and Suncoast in Lake Worth. We appreciate your support! In December, we had a wonderful visit with the Raleigh Church of Christ in Raleigh, NC. The congregation was very hospitable and appreciated seeing the various boxes of supplies that are provided by CCDRE to local congregations to assist those impacted by disasters. Many commented that they have been aware of CCDRE but had a better understanding of the work after seeing the materials first hand. It was also a pleasure to visit with the East Wood Church of Christ in Paris, TN and brethren from the Glendale Church of Christ in Murray, KY. Both of these congregations have been supporters of CCDRE, and we are grateful for their open hearts and desire to reach out and help others. We would like to come to your congregation and share information about CCDRE. If you are in the southeastern U.S. and would like to hear more about this work, please contact me at 1-919-270-8770 or at kiparis@bellsouth.net. We would be honored to visit with you at anytime. MESSAGE ABOUT NEW JERSEY Dawn Adcock sends the following thanks for the work done by CCDRE in New Jersey: “It is with my utmost thanks that I write this letter. I have been absolutely amazed at your response to help with the Gateway Church of Christ in New Jersey. What you did has been such help not only to them, but also to everyone in their community. The relief trucks were unloaded and supplies were given to so many who were in desperate need, and for that I thank you. Thank you that the truck was on its way so quickly with everything you knew that was needed. The Church of Christ disaster team was just the beginning. Once the Church of Christ disaster truck arrived, it brought immediate attention from the media, etc. that then triggered more help and more volunteers. Thank you for making a difference in Union Beach, NJ. Through your efforts a huge impact has been made on all those who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. There is no telling how many hearts have been touched as a result of your efforts. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.” Dawn Adcock ******** “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” - 6 Jesus More Hurricane Sandy destruction in Union Beach, New Jersey CCDRE appreciated the cooperation of 4 churches in New Jersey that served as Receiving and Distribution Centers. WORKERS FROM GOODMAN OAKS CHURCH OF CHRIST, SOUTHAVEN, MS CCDRE welcomed the following fine group of workers from Mississippi: Fred Wesson, Bill Phillips, Albert Hayes, Jane Winstead, Jerry Winstead, Jamie Hayes, Betty Shackelford, Jim Craddock, Ann Walker, Drew Saradpon, Delmas Brooks, Jane Stewart, Jane Brooks, Tom Stewart, Beth Ramsey, Bob Douglas, Reta Douglas, Dorothy Jones, Marcia Fraley, Helen Stewart, Richard Fraley, Jeanine Walker (not pictured) GOOD NEWS FOR NEW ORLEANS CHILDREN The Goodman Oaks workers in the Nashville Operations Center CCDRE appreciates the good work of these volunteers and invites them back at any time. This organization could not exist without the faithful volunteers, many who come from far and wide, the volunteer truck drivers, and the individual and church contributions. It has been reported that Mitch Landrieu, Mayor of New Orleans, has “helped raise millions from national philanthropies and worked to secure a $1.8 billion lump sum from FEMA to rebuild schools destroyed by storm Katrina in 2005.” Some would probably say, “It’s about time.” Churches of Christ Disaster Relief delivered supplies with a value exceeding $16.3 million to the gulf states of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas in 2005 as result of storms Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. 7 SANDY DAMAGE IN FREEHOLD, NEW JERSEY Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918), was an American poet and journalist who was best known for his poem “Trees.” He was killed in World War I while attacking a German machine-gun nest along the Oureq River in France. Can’t you imagine his sadness if he could see this beautiful tree which God fashioned for so many years, and is now struck down by a savage storm such as Sandy. Sandy left this house bottom up CCDRE delivered food, baby products, personal care items, water, cleaning supplies, linens, and other essential items to the Freeehold Church of Christ for distribution to the disaster survivors in that area. More Sandy destruction TREES I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce Kilmer CCDRE tractor trailer trucks eager to be on the road to help disaster survivors ******** The Disaster Relief News is printed through the courtesy of Pollock Printing Co., Nashville, TN 8 WATCHOUT FOR DISASTER HUSTLERS! With disasters come the eager repairmen who will create a disaster of their own unless the victims are vigilant and on their toes. The unethical repairmen promise anything, take your money, do nothing, or do sloppy work, and you never see them again! Unfortunately, senior citizens are easy prey. Be careful and take your time before hiring a post-disaster contractor. You are nervous, upset, suffering through a new traumatic experience, and vulnerable, so try to be patient and think before you act. Never hire a contractor on the spot. Check with Better Business Bureau or with someone whom you know has used this contractor. There is no use in checking his/her references which he has given you because he has only given you names of people who will say good things about him. Do not hire someone who comes to your door. Good contractors don’t have to solicit work Their work speaks for itself. Avoid those who only give you a P.O. box number where they may be reached (and it may be fictitious.) The same applies to a bogus phone number. Get everything in writing on the company’s letterhead paper. Get the estimates, prices, materials, completion dates, and his driver’s license number. Share this information with your insurer before you sign anything. Pay them only after the work has been performed satisfactorily. Be cautious! People are being ripped off everyday. Be sure you are not the next one. IF YOU GROWL ALL DAY YOU WILL FEEL DOG TIRED AT NIGHT ******** PRAY WITHOUT CEASING That was the admonition that Paul gave to the Thessalonians. The late Alan Bryan (19252006), a highly respected and popular Church of Christ Preacher and author back in the last century, had a sermon on “The Meaning of Prayer” which he delivered more than 3,000 times. There were 50,000 responses, and everywhere he went he was requested to deliver this sermon. He put it into pamphlet form and following are some excerpts: “The only way we can learn to pray is by praying. “Through the ages men have read the accounts of the Son of God and with open astonishment have expressed their bewilderment at the wisdom and power of Jesus. Until He came to earth, no one like Him had been among men. Never again on this earth will mankind behold one possessing such wisdom and power as that demonstrated by Christ. When all creatures gather around the great white throne to sing praises to Jehovah, 9 we, then, will behold at God’s right hand the Elder Brother, the One who died that we might live, the One who lived here on earth that we might go home to God in heaven and then worship our God through eternity. Only then will we behold One possessing such wisdom and power. “In studying Christ’s life one cannot escape the place that prayer had in His life. However, we can never understand Him and that which He was able to do unless we begin to understand the true meaning of the simple words He uttered, ‘I can of myself do nothing.’ If the Son of God in all of His wisdom and power had to depend upon God, how much more should we, weak mortals that we are, depend upon God. We must learn how to pray and then learn to pray. “If there were but one sermon for me to preach, one lesson for me to present, one article for me to write, or one paragraph left for me to compose, I would use that precious opportunity to try to help people to learn to pray. With my parting breath I would want to convey, to the lowly creatures that we are, the lofty peaks we can reach when we truly learn to pray. We must use the great opportunities of prayer to possess much of the power God means for us to have. Yet such power remains neglected and unused because of our failure to depend upon our Maker. By turning to Him in the outpouring of our soul we pray and pray and pray. “Of all of the subjects that I believe individuals must be taught and actually want to be taught – none are more important than the subject of prayer. “You must learn as an individual that prayer, when properly learned, is one of the most natural things a person can do. “When we have no other place to go, the only place we can go is to God. It is absolutely essential that we learn to depend upon God. It is only when we learn to bow down before the only God, and not before others, that God can truly lift our souls to Him.” PRAYER CHANGES THINGS MEMORIALS GIVEN IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, & DECEMBER 2012 GIVEN IN MEMORY OF Adell Adams Jane Hughes Bill Allen, Madison, TN Kenneth & Edna Netherton Hobart & Eula B.

Editoral - LIVE IN PEACE Most of us prefer to live in peace. There are those who seem to thrive on turmoil, disagreement, strife, discord, and conflict, but by examining the scriptures, we have to conclude that type of conduct isn’t pleasing to the Lord. When the Apostle Paul was outlining to Titus the principles by which the Cretan Christians should live, he reminded the people “to be peaceable.” He wrote to the Romans, “Live in harmony with one another,” and he went on to say, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” He referred to God as “the God of peace.” Edna M. Walling When he was relating to the Corinthians some Newsletter Editor of the principles surrounding marriage, he included, “God has called us to live in peace.” His final greetings to them included “live in peace.” It was probably Solomon who wrote, “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.” With as many wives as Solomon had, he could probably speak authoritatively on living “with strife.” Solomon tells us among the things which God hates is discord. He stated further, “God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” It was the wisest and greatest man of all time who included in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God,” and when He was describing the influence which Christians have on others, He said “and be at peace with each other.” To the Colossians Paul wrote, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts;…you were called to peace.” To the Thessalonians he wrote, “Live in peace with each other.” The writer of Hebrews tells us, “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy…” James, probably Jesus’ half brother, describes the “wisdom that comes from heaven” as “peace-loving.” Then he says, “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.” “Peace” is mentioned in 52 books of the Bible. May each of us do our part in promoting peace among men – and women.
