Very Important Brantley Co. Fire Update!

---

When we said,"you give to us, we give to them", this is what we meant!

1. ‎Thank you, Jesus!
2. Where did the $ go?
3. Receipts (pics)
4. What’s next?

First, all Glory to the Lord! Once again, He has allowed us to serve in ways that a little ministry should not be capable of. Only through Him can we accomplish such LARGE things, being so small.

We have received $212,968.06 in donations designated for the fire from over 200 donors. We have spent $207,280.27 of that, which has been used 100% to help fire victims. We are still trying to locate more families that lost their homes, which the remainder will go to.

NO salaries, NO administration costs, not even gas. We were even able to cover fees on the gift cards, making sure 100% of your donation went to the fire victims. No middlemen. You trusted and gave to us; we gave straight to them personally.

If you gave to us and did not designate for the fire, but have never given to us before, we went ahead and gave 100% of your donation to the fire victims as well.

The day the fire started, we bought pallets of water and got ready to serve. Day 2, we were able to start putting $500 gift cards straight into families’ hands. Over the past month we met with, prayed with, cried with, and placed aid into the hands over 80 families who lost their homes.

We then began to allow the Lord to use us in many more ways, including providing families temporary housing.

To date we have given $85,600.00 in gift cards and provided temporary housing with $107,067.04 in campers. We have also paid to have power restored, well repair, campsite payments, supplies, food, toys, Bibles, etc.

The pictures included will show donors exactly where their donations went to. We invite you to look over them if you donated, to see for yourself.

During disasters there are many questions about how much of your donation actually gets to those in need. Before you give, always look back to past disasters and see who was on the ground and what they got accomplished. Just because a ministry is small, that does not mean they cannot be very effective and trusted with your donation.

WE ARE STILL ACTIVELY SERVING IN BRANTLEY CO. We are no longer able to do $1 for $1 donations straight to the victims as we are now in the clean-up and rebuilding phase. This phase takes lots of additional costs like tractor and truck fuel, materials, etc., which so far, we have been absorbing.

If you would like to help us going forward in Brantley and also to be prepared to instantly serve in the next disaster, please go to our How You Can Help page.

Please share with those who donated through us.
