OAKS spreads its branches

“As she stood in what was left of her belongings after the fire had destroyed everything, she made the statement that the Lord had impressed on her heart recently not to hold on to the things of this world too tightly. Wow! Was that ever true in one of the most heart wrenching attempts to help a husband and wife who had just lost it all.”

Stories like this one are an incredible reminder not only of how change can happen in an instant, but also that we are all called to help when one of our neighbors is in the midst of a storm. Or in this case, a fire.

This is just one of many stories you’ll find on the new OAKS page, as our Organized Acts of Kindness and Sacrifice ministry spreads its branches and unites its volunteers with our CTR Body online. The new site is in its infancy, and will eventually allow you to click on a calendar so you can see the needs and opportuntities to help people right in your own neighborhood or community.
