URGENT Call-Out

CBDR ACTIVE DEPLOYMENT

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!!!

1. We are presently serving in Nederland, CO with our Laundry Unit doing Laundry for this mountain community who lost their only laundromat after a major fire in their community. This service is such a blessing to them, and we need to be able to keep this operation going for a few more weeks. If you live within driving distance and could take a morning or afternoon shift, please contact me as we are trying to make a schedule for this. We will be having this service for 3 days per week. (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday) 9:00 am – 1p.m. 1p.m. – 5:30 p.m. I will give you more details once I hear back from you. (this consists of washing, drying and folding clothes for the community). We have had a very positive response from the community with many smiles and handshakes as they bring their wash in and leave with clean clothes!

2. Flooding in Pagosa Springs, Archuleta County – Thank you, CBDR volunteers, for your availability to go to Pagosa. Our time here has ended. Please continue to pray for those affected as they continue to recover from the flooding.

This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has this world’s goods and sees a fellow believer in need but withholds compassion from him—how does God’s love reside in him?
