Dear family in King Yahushua (Jesus Our Messiah),
As many around the world observe this day as a day of thanksgiving and remembrance of all our blessings, we too want to send out to all of you our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for coming along side of us these last two months. After Yahushua led us to ask for help in collecting emergency supplies for those affected by Hurricane Helene here in Western North Carolina, USA, He then moved on all of our hearts and supplies have continued to pour in daily. We are beyond humbled and thankful for your overwhelming response to the urgent needs of people here in the mountains, who have basically been forgotten by any government or relief agencies. We are deeply touched by the outpouring of love you all have shown, as we have been able to distribute supplies so far to those in need and will continue to do so as long as Father leads us.
Those who are receiving these critical items are so beyond grateful and thankful that they have stood before us stunned by the outpouring of others to help them in their time of need. One woman, a grandmother of three had lost everything and said that she had not cried since the flood destroyed everything she and her family had. In our presence, her emotions flowed as she just couldn't believe that she was receiving without needing to pay for anything. We provided her with food, clothing, toiletries and bibles, and she just kept saying how thankful she was for the hearts of those who have come to serve, whether local or from afar. We prayed with her and said that we would keep in touch so that we could help her with ongoing needs in a family of five.
We have witnessed first hand in giving out your supplies, the power of the greatest gift there ever was, or ever will be, and that is the incredible power of the LOVE OF CHRIST, YAHUSHUA, OUR LIVING, HOLY, RIGHTEOUS FATHER. Love conquers all, and His love breaks through all suffering, all pain, all despair, and all hopelessness. Always remember this! Love is everything... and being a small part of His plan in what He has called us to do has deeply changed us and shown us that even in total destruction, devastation and loss, there will always be His eternal and unending LOVE.
One van full of six children were so overjoyed when we handed them children's illustrated bibles that the little girl actually squealed to her siblings yelling, "Look!!! They even gave us bibles!!!" She and her sisters were also thrilled to receive toiletry bags of their own with a hairbrush, toothbrush/paste, soap, and hair pretties. Something so many people take for granted each day, but something these children did not have. What a blessing to be able to see a child's face light up! I have not stopped crying daily at what these acts of kindness can do to change lives. As Yahushua shows us His mercy, we are to show His mercy and love to others and the outcome has been indescribable.
YOU ALL have made this possible...
We love each of you dearly, and could not continue to do any of this without you. And for those who would like more information about what is happening here that is not being reported, please email us privately at beholdicome@protonmail.com, and we will give you YouTube links that are by people who are 'boots on the ground', sharing the real stories of the many, many challenges that people are dealing with at ground zero.
We have updated our Amazon wish list once again as below, and will also include at the bottom of this note, other companies and items that have been requested so there are options as to how you can still continue to help. We will also add an additional means of sending monetary donations, as this may help those who are not residing in the USA.
We still are requesting bibles, KJV, NKJV, AMP version and children's illustrated bibles. However, because of the surplus of clothing that we have received, we are limiting what we are requesting for clothing to this list:
- Men's winter jackets, especially XXL and 2XL and 3XL
- Beanies/Wool hats for children and adults
- Wool socks for all ages
We will use any monetary donations for things such as toiletries and personal items, as we are presented with the needs on a more individual basis.
May Father greatly bless and reward you for your obedience always!
Doug, Julie and our family

(*) For those brothers and sisters who have joined us recently, we use the name Yahushua because Jesus told us that it is His given name in Hebrew when he came to earth to destroy the works of the enemy and walk out in the flesh all that had been prophesied about His coming as Our Lord and Savior. He is called by many names, but truly we are to have an intimate relationship with Him individually and collectively to praise and glorify His Holy name in these end times..
