bahamas Relief: God Opportunities

Hey Renew Family!
Sometimes, God gives you an opportunity that you didn’t realize that you were going to have to make an impact that you never thought you would get to make.  This week has been one of those opportunities.
​
I received a short text last Sunday night from my friend and Superintendent of several Nazarene Churches in Freeport with the simple message, “Hey Treavor, I’m just checking in.” 
I knew that meant more than, “How was your Sunday?” so I called him that night.  He told me the severity of the need and through that one call we made connection with Convoy of Hope and Christ Fellowship in Palm Beach County and were able to get 20 portable cookstoves and a generator on a flight that next day.  He was so grateful! 

Since then, I received a call from my brother who is a pastor in Texas and his church along with several churches in his area contributed $5000 to help get emergency food, tarps (another storm is headed their way) and cleaning supplies on a flight to the Bahamas today (9/13).  I will be flying to Freeport with the goods and hope to get a better idea of how we can continue to try to help the people of the Bahamas. 

If God gives you an opportunity, what are you going to do with it?

I want to give a huge “Thank You” to all of you that have supported our effort to help those hit hardest by Dorian! 

In addition to the Hurricane Relief items we are collecting through this Sunday... we started a water initiative to send drinking water to the Bahamas. The most basic need in the Bahamas right now is water.  There is a shortage and when organizations and/or the government bring it in- the public pickup locations become a frenzy. So far, we have raised over $1600 for this initiative!

To Send a Case of Water: Text $4 followed by the keyword: “HURRICANERELIEF” (One Word) to 786-565-1165. Or you can give online by simply going to www.renew.miami/giving and be sure to select “HurricaneRelief”.
​
A family in our church has helped us find a way to send 2 cases of water for the price of 1! So if you send $4 it will provide 2 cases of water to people that are in desperate need! 
 
Thank you for your support!
God bless!
