Update By Rebecca Aponte-Young

Stephen Aponte and Pedro Gelabertalong with members of the Long Island Church of Christ have been continuing the Disaster Relief to the people in the Far Rockaway and Coney Island areas. Hundreds of people have been receiving furniture and appliances and all kinds of gifts provided by the COC Disaster Relief Effort and Disaster Assistance Mission. This week, members from the Northport Church of Christ, http://northportcoc.org/, joined us with Kerry Richardson to continue in this great work! About 14 members from the Northport Church of Christ flew and drove into NYC on Saturday to join the relief effort. Praise God fior their desire to serve! This week we will be delivering furniture, appliances and Household necessities like pots and pans, etc. to those who continue to be in need. Our brethren from Northport brought a truckload of their own of many supplies that was collected from the members of their church. Awesome stuff! Please pray for our efforts of soul winning. Today the women are going to a Sandy victim's home in Seagate, Brooklyn to help her organize her home and kitchen. I will be doing a bible study there with Pamels PettyJohn. I met Pamela on our line on day in November when we went to Coney Island and had at least 700 people that day. We were very low on volunteersa that day and so we weren't able to speak to too many people or take thir phone numbers for Bible study. But I saw an interest in Pamela and offered her bible study quickly in a short conversation because our line was so long. She gladly said yes and gave me her phone number. Pamela has been hugely instrumental in us helping hundreds of other people in the seagate community. She opened her home for community bible study and allowed us to distribut supplies right out of her home. She has been amazing! Please pray for her open heart and willingness to obey the Lord. May God be glorified through this Relief Effort and may many know that Jesus is alive!
