This is What It’s All About Here in Ringgold

A new friend and sister church partner in Tornado Relief, Brent Harrison, Missions Pastor at Cedarcrest Church in Acworth, GA came to town to go to work this past weekend.   The story below is what and why we are ALL doing what we do during this continued relief effort.  Enjoy their report!
Brent’s Synapsis:
It was very clear that God brought us there to intercede for Dale and Joy Cope and their Kids (Shea and Seth)…I can’t imagine losing your house and your business in the same day, being neglected by insurance and FEMA, and then losing everything else you own to looters over the next several weeks.  Dale confessed he was at his end, and even called his pastor to tell him that he did not think he could carry on…the next day, we showed up at his house!  Not only did we give him hope by seeing his prayers answered for help, but we were able to purchase for him much needed supplies for his home, which just so happened to be nearly the exact number that Cedarcrest Church had given towards the relief efforts.
Here are the videos we created to remind us…
Please continue to be in prayer for Dale and his family as they attempt to put their life and faith back together.  If you would also like to sent them a note of encouragement, scripture or prayer, please send it to…
Dale and Joy Cope
252 Greystone Dr.
Ringgold, GA 30736
A big huge thanksgiving to all the Origin Team and partners around the nation that are allowing and making this relief effort possible!
All the Best,
Shane

Bags of Love

Origin Church crew ventures out today giving out 40 plus bags of love to tornado victims.  Our hope and goal is just when it seems all the giving is over, a bag of love shows up on their doorstep.  We are also set to give out gift cards to Home Depot and Walmart today!  God, lead us to the right places!!!

We launch out for more tornado care, Friday of this week with over 40 bags of supplies going to needy tornado victims here in Ringgold, GA.  We go door-to-door looking for the owners of devastated homes, to simply bless.  We also will be giving out Home Depot and Walmart gift cards to help.  This needs to be an on-going process in our area due to the nature of stages that change in relief efforts.  It’s exciting to stay over-the-top in efforts to help when it seems like everyone has concluded caring.  We are in the long-term relief stage and people still need people to care.  Origin Church is doing our best to stay on the field, in the game, and get the ball to the end-zone in Ringgold, GA.  Thanks again to all you many partners around the U.S. that are making this happen!
