Low lying areas in NJ under evacuation for this nor’easter.
CitiIMPACT’s volunteers & assets are safe. 
Pray fervently for the thousands of people who are homeless & suffering from Sandy.
The kids really need us all to help them.
There are literally people who haven’t eaten for a week.
PLEASE DONATE.
It costs us $1 per hot meal.

As part of our overall missions projects affecting at-risk children and families, you have long seen our involvement in responding to natural disasters.
I suppose there is great truth in that every size disaster is EPIC to those who experience it.
There are few events that are EPIC in the number of ways it can be disastrous in so many forms and such a broad geographical and demographic landscape. Sandy is one of those, truly.
Our efforts will together with your help positively affect thousands of people with the HOPE of the truth of Jesus Christ love for them…in practical ways during this harsh event.
Please join in the efforts with us to rescue the perishing situations of many people as we ramp up to the holiday season.
Blessings to you, JD Smith, President, CitiIMPACT Ministries
You are ONE. Which ONE?
Thanks for all you do as you work forward on mission with us to serve hurting people. Many of you are paying it forward from having received Hope and Help in times past.
Blessings!

Waiting for God to “fill you up” with something or some things? (Isaiah 43:18,19)
1. Let go of the past. Press on.
2. Some find it refreshing when they give out all that He has already given them. That seems to make room for the New Thing or Things.
IE: Willamette River in Oregon seems to be refreshing & life-giving as it flows….
Thousands of volunteers for missions have allowed CitiIMPACT Missions to serve & connect them to meaningful sustainable projects for Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer Breaks.
People who fall through the cracks are who we serve together in multiple states.

SCHEDULE NOW: Click to sign up to help and give out what God has given you. He’ll replenish everything for you!
When have your experienced the flow of God’s refreshing living water? I’d love to hear your story!
John 7:38 “38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

Philippians 2:3 “Do nothing out of conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”
I’m doing a Reblog from our CitiIMPACT Missions today com as it tied in perfectly to a few things I was going to write today in general.
Over the years we’ve been involved in missions and ministry, we have often seen that “a whole lot of nothing” often stands in the way of “a whole lot of something”.
Many non-Christians have to witness in-fighting between territorial missions and churches, even disaster response groups, that don’t reflect a lot of love or unity.
Truly, the Great “I AM” clearly wanted us to all be the “WE ARE” in Him. John 17 in the Holy Bible is clear on this.
Undeniably so much of how the non-Christian world operates and thinks has far too long invaded the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Church, His Kingdom. It’s important to remember that He is the head of The Church.
How now then shall we live? How now then DO we live?
Let’s press on to the high mark of His calling and allow the Great I AM to lead us into being the WE ARE that He intends. I’m quite sure we’ll see more fruit that remains in all categories of life when together we reach for and share the fruit together. UBUNTU!
Blessings to you! JD Smith
Later this week, I’ll give you some updates on our foreign missions and church planting initiatives.
Along with a perspective from nearly two weeks on the ground in Hurricane Isaac, my next post will share some insights garnered from partnerships developed over the last two decades serving in compassion ministries, including disaster zones, with nearly 200,000 volunteers.
Until then:
Sign up your teams for volunteerism!
Donate your time, talent and treasure to assist others in need.
Pray for those around you who don’t know Christ in this tumult filled world.
Blessings,

Can we possibly go too far with HOPE? Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”
Still under water after 10 days. Thousands need HOPE. www.CitiIMPACT.org
What is in our hands and hearts to give is freely received, so we freely give. Therein lies peace and freedom for both the giver and recipient.
