Larry, that is a truly noble thing you are doing. Your true colors are shining brightly. Yes, you are blessed. Thanks so much for bringing some humanity to the forum.

Amen to that, there are some amazing people on this forum and this shines a light on that compassion.

Here is a very good avenue .

http://www.gofundme.com

I used this to help to save Kodak . Lots of members on the forum sent many prayers and some donated as well. The most important part was the prayers as it always is. God answers .

Hope that info helps.

I got home from church today and was wiped out. It had been a very rough week. One of those weeks where you just can't convince yourself anymore that the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train. I talked to my wife about hanging it up because we are just sticking our fingers in a couple of holes in the dike and it's not doing any good. My church is a small (25 or so) church that is a storefront church and God seems to send us people on their last legs who don't know it or don't care. She told me that we can't hang it up because God has not released us yet.

All I knew when I got home was I was bone numbing tired from the emotional and spiritual onslaught that occurred this past week. I just collapsed on the bed and slept the sleep of the dead. I woke up two hours later and came down to a dying stove. I had forgotten to de-ash the stove when I got home and it was almost out. I opened the ash door, knifed the grates and logged onto the forum while I waited to see if it was going to revive or go out. I was immediately greeted with a multitude of PM's and a notice saying my mailbox is 1/3 full. I thought great. Now I've been hacked on top of everything else. Then I saw the headings on the PM's. They were from all you people wanting to assist and be part of a ministry that I never even knew existed, until you wonderful folks named it.

Stove and Heat Ministry

To say I am stunned is an understatement of humbling proportions!!! It does not seem to be enough to say THANK YOU for your networking in the "underground coal board" as Hampden Bob called it. I have the name of each person who responded and I will be sending each person a PM to personally thank each person and get your address. I will be starting a Stove and Heat Ministry newsletter that I will send each person who is participating keeping you up to date on the goings on in this new ministry. To anyone who may think that something untoward is going on I did not solicit any donations of any type. These are all individuals that want to help someone else. It may take a while to get a PM to each person so if you don't get a reply right away don't think I overlooked you. There are a LOT of folks that I need to respond to so hang in there and again THANK YOU.

This lady who seems to have gotten all this started had told me that she was so happy and elated because she had almost given up on any one helping her so she quit asking. I installed that stove and the first round of coal ( 7 buckets of nut) to get her up and running. She was a brand new person this morning in church. Smiling, laughing, joking with people and told me her faith in people was being restored and wanted to know what she could do for someone else.

I will send each person a PM with the church address requesting that everything go there if nothing else but to have accountability. The church has a 501c(3). At the end of the year each person will get a letter of non-cash or cash donation so if they choose they can use their contribution as a tax deduction for 2015 taxes.

Again THANK YOU against all that is right and holy.

Rev. Larry Coutlee, Pastor
New Beginning Church
Ashland Pa.

Rev Larry,

Your mailbox was only 1/3 filled?

I'm hoping that a lot of our members didn't get a chance to sign on yet today.

You really embody the coal region way that I was raised in. If you see someone in need, and you can help out, you do it- no questions asked, for no other motivation than it's the right thing to do. It always comes back around one way or another. Sometimes it seems like a dying ideal, but then you see something like this. As for your bad week, it reminded me of something I heard on the radio on my way home from work yesterday morning- "don't let the devil put a period where the Lord intended a comma." Keep up the good work!

Rev, like I said, "good on you". It wouldn't have happened without you.

Isaiah 40:28-31

" 28¶Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Some words of encouragement for you this morning.

That is one of my favorite passages & very fitting for this time ,when one of God's servants is down mentally/physically/spiritually from an overload,to be reminded once again of Gods promise to be there for us when those times come. Just think about the far reaching effects of this thread,it started as a simple ,nice feeling post & will likely reach out to benefit many who desperately need heat, with all of us helping & sharing. A big win-win for many

Also fitting;

I Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you but such is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
