New Zealand and Capt. Nigel

As you follow the news reports coming in relative to the recent earthquake and continuing aftershocks in New Zealand, please remember our own Captain Nigel C. and his family in your prayers. Nigel is a native of New Zealand and his hometown is the area most severely impacted by these events. Thankfully, none of his family members have been injured but the overall impact on the community has been devastating with significant loss of life and dramatic property damage. The continuing aftershocks are especially unsettling to those living in the impacted areas.

For Nigel, being far away from family and friends as they endure these hardships is especially tough.

The Salvation Army is among the organizations heavily involved in responding to this disaster.

Thank you for keeping his family in you thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

May those who come to us for help leave blessed.

Karen H.

Please pray for our new Center Director, Karen H. She started in her position a week ago. She is in the midst of adjusting the center programming and schedules. Changing things sometimes is difficult to some people. Pray that the Lord will give her strength and wisdom as she makes some tough decisions.
