Even A cup of cold water in His Name\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our efforts continue to supply critical medical supplies, hygiene, clothing, shoes, and basic living commodities to those devastated by Russia\u2019s evil invasion and occupation of Ukraine. Containers were loaded this past Thursday and Friday with household necessities (linens, clothes, beds, etc.). A huge amount of new medical supplies was loaded. Friday’s container was sent to those assisting the children of war, IDPs, the elderly, the widowed, and the disabled. These two containers are on their way to Poland and then into Ukraine. Our distribution network has received the inventories and already has the items designated for distribution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wouldn’t be possible without the financial support many of you provide for our operations. We have 26 pallets of medical supplies left to ship. We expect several pieces of medical equipment for ophthalmology and dental use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Small Pebble dropped into a still lake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know the metaphor\u2026a small pebble is dropped into a still lake, and its impact sends constant ripples into the farthest places. This past week I received this good message. It was very encouraging at a critical time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good morning. I hope this email finds you…I work for Green Valley church of Christ in Noblesville. A few ladies at the congregation happened upon a copy of your book from 1983: Studies in Jonah,<\/em> from the library collection of Bob Dixon, who passed away in Indianapolis last year. I\u2019m only mentioning his name because he knew a lot of people and was a missionary to Africa via the Southeastern church of Christ and a preacher in his lifetime.\u00a0Which leads me to a wild question\u2026I can only find two additional copies for sale used on Ebay.\u00a0 Is it possible you have a digital PDF of your work that I could purchase for them to use in their Bible study? Thank you, Bri\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
