Read below for HOPE
not only longed for, but,
DELIVERED by Jesus
through YOU!
Happy Easter from CitiIMPACT
HOPE comes from an empty tomb.

This past month through CitiIMPACT and our partners, that empty tomb’s hope and love have filled:
  • 8 semi loads of supplies to Henryville, IN;  West Liberty, KY; and Dallas, TX. 
  • 95 Easter Baskets for Kindergartners whose school was destroyed.
  • Over 600 volunteers with an unforgettable experience; serving  in the above areas as well as in Joplin, MO; Charlotte, NC; and Tuscaloosa, AL.  
  • Countless people touched, fed, clothed, housed . . . given HOPE!
Summer Mission Trips:  Disaster and Urban – Just a few days ago more powerful tornados struck areas surrounding Dallas.  CitiIMPACT is partnering with local churches and ministries to establish long term recovery efforts.  Let us know if your help is on the way.  Get in touch with us now to plan your summer mission trips.  Besides the above disaster recovery needs we also have team needs for Charlotte, NC doing camps for at-risk kids and in Louisville inner-city.

Love for Liberia
Look at these precious faces! These are some of CitiIMPACT’s sponsored children at school. Many more await the HOPE that comes throughsponsorship as most can’t afford to go to school.  The average Liberian makes less than $1 day.  Forming our team now for OCT 2012 LIBERIA. Need for pastors, teachers (starting our own school!), videographer.

A New Adventure Every Day








How can we at CitiIMPACT help YOU serve? Here is one example:


Operation New Adventure is helping many children:
“It all started as a simple idea. To get books into the hands of children whose families have been struck by tragedy. After just a few weeks of contacting local and national representatives, organizations and emergency personnel, we found CitiIMPACT Ministries and they were thrilled with the idea! 
As it would go, the day after we exchanged emails, tornadoes ravaged parts of the Midwest and Southern United States. Instead of receiving a phone call to come up with a plan for our idea, we received an email saying they could use books in Joplin, Henryville, and West Liberty within the week! Yikes!”

These great books, by the thousands, are being shipped now!






There are so many ways for you to help others in their times of distress.



You CAN be very effective in making a lasting positive IMPACT in the lives of hurting people in the USA & beyond.
Contact us today with your idea for helping others!

In the disasters of life, natural, economic, terrorism or others…YOU can make a lasting positive difference!

Be Willing…..Be There….Be HOPE…..

Psalm 71:5 “You (God) have been my hope.” West Liberty KY tornado. Represent & Re-Present Hope in Christ.
Here in West Liberty we’re dispatching supplies & volunteer teams working through a local coalition of churches who will serve together for years to come, leading the way for restoration of their communities.

You 
CAN
Be the Change!    From Aaron, team leader from Texas Tech University
who served with CitiIMPACT in Joplin this month, 
“We are grateful for the connection you provided us and we are glad we were able

to participate in rebuilding Joplin, in a sense. Because honestly if you could not

see

the devastation with your eyes you would have not known it happened. the people

of Joplin were so friendly and full of spirit. The town has a rich and strong community

and culture and we were privileged to experience that.”


Over and over again we hear, “If we had only been prepared, we could have done more.” Just this morning the mayor of Scottsburg, IN, Bill Graham reiterated this to us; even as he serves thousands of people in a horrible situation all around Henryville.
You CAN be Prepared to receive help & give help in times of disaster…saving lives and restoring HOPE.

Tornado Relief
Ohio, Alabama, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee

DEAR FRIENDS: 

You all have heard of the severe weather outbreak and tornadoes from Friday.   Much of the eastern half of the country experienced this first hand.  Our scouts and first responders are busy assessing the multiple areas hit including towns and cities in six states.  We will have staging areas and distribution sites identified in the coming days and will be ready to have teams.  Trucks are on standby for delivery.  

Here is how you and your church can respond:
  • SEND a Team (First responders, chainsaw, skilled  are first wave.  Non skilled to follow by weeks end.)
  • PRAY – asking special prayers for a baby found in a field 10 miles from where she lived, she is in critical condition.  Her parents and two siblings didn’t survive. Many others are also seriously injured, homeless and hurting.
  • GIVE – your DONATION is critical to ongoing relief and recovery.
  • Connect us to people in your community needing help and currently helping (churches).
  • Become Prepared in your community:  Disaster Preparedness Training
Even prior to this latest outbreak, CitiIMPACT had multiple teams on the ground.  All are safe.  Hundreds of college students will be volunteering their spring break weeks in Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and Charlotte with CitiIMPACT.  What an honor to serve them as they serve.  Keep them in your prayers.  
 

If marked “2012 Tornado Relief”, 100% of donation will go towards relief, recovery, and restoration.  Money is multiplied through our many partnerships and gift-in-kind donations.
CitiIMPACT is a 501(c)3 tax exempt corporation.  You will receive a receipt for tax purposes at the end of the year.
 
Serving with you, still.
