Missions with Don & Rosemary

Well when I make a mistake, it is usually a big one and did I get called on the carpet. Sooooo.. I need to retract or at least explain better a statement I made about we have only one paid employee in the DRT who receives a salary. Actually, he receives NO salary from any donations given to the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team. All of your donations go to help people in disaster areas. Our boss, Mark and his family live from their savings and when time allows (and thats not often) they do some repair work back home in Ohio and other places to make enough money to sustain thenselves. I don't know how they do it, but they are two of the most dedicated sacrificial people I have ever known. We are all volunteers. How can you be a volunteer? Many ways. You can be a volunteer by coming to the affected area and helping, but you also be a very important volunteer and I believe, just as important, when you remember this work in you prayers, when you tell people about the great work in helping people done by the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team, when you help gather supplies that are needed and arrange to get them to the area and of course it is a great help when money is donated to help buy materials to help people repair their house or feed them in time of crisis. Yes there is something that nearly all of us can do in volunteering with the DRT that can glorify our Lord and use this efffort to make known unto the world the manifold wisdom of God. Tonight we will be putting on the blog one of the volunteers who not only has been a great help as a volunteer, but has wriitten an article about the DRT from the viewpoint of a Christian woman. I will put her article on as she wrote it . It is so good. Please tell your friends to be watching for it at donchudson.blogspot.com It would be put on now, but I have to stop and visit a wonderful widow woman, and visit a funeral home and visit the family as I will be preaching their Mother's funeral tomorrow. Remember Laura's blog at Churchesofchristdrt.org She and Mark are back down in the area and you can get a up close view of what's going on. Must go. "I got to get off this carpet" Don
