Ohio Division Fall 2006

  • We continue to support the flood recovery of southeastern Ohio with volunteer time and multiple shipments of clothing, building supplies, household items and other necessities.
  • We also help support the Fort Wayne, Ind. seminary. A 16-foot trailer full of bedding, mattresses, lamps, dishes, kitchen sets, pots and pans was delivered in August. Items were taken right from the trailer into students’ homes.
  • A load of school desks will be sent to Indiana Division, who will ship them to India.

    • Hurricane Katrina Response


    Volunteers sort and pack relief supplies bound for Ocean Springs, Miss. in Sept. 2005.

    A Special Message from our Pastoral Advisor…

    “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life -
    only to take it up again.” John 10:17

    Jesus was born to die on the cross at Golgotha. There we see love at its best. Why did Jesus not come down from the cross? That would have evidence that He was sent from God. Why did Jesus not do so? What held Him to that cross? Love, love for you and me and for those who crucified Him.

    Jesus remained on that cross that you and I may find forgiveness and peace. While we were in sin, unlovable and full of hate, Christ died for us. Only because Jesus loved us so, remained on the cross that Friday, gave His life, is heaven opened to you and me. So. we see love at its best on Calvary’s cross. Let us fix our eyes on the cross of Christ to see God’s boundless love for us sinners displayed.

    Rev. Charles Kramer
