Hello again dear brothers and sisters in Yahushua!
Today I want to let you know of an urgent need once again for the less fortunate families who are still trying to function after going through hurricane Helene and now the Polar vortex that is directly affecting North Carolina and surrounding areas at its severest point. Here in Western North Carolina, we have had a series of winter storms the last few weeks, one with major ice, and the next with wind chills at -25F. This is unusual, if not unprecedented. Here at our property, there is still 2 inches of solid ice under a foot of snow which has not melted. Many people have been trapped in their homes, as their make shift driveways are sheets of ice and they have not been able to get out to get supplies. The rest are those who cannot provide for themselves due to many reasons: disabilities, lack of transportation as well as major destruction that has not been repaired since hurricane Helene rolled through.
As some of you are aware, we have been partnering with a missions group here in Western North Carolina and have been assisting them since 2024. The name of the group is Musicians Mission of Mercy and they provide basic needs, as well as food to those who are extremely poor. and in great need. Their food pantry is now empty and there are a minimum of 100 families that depend on this pantry each week for the only food they can acquire. This ministry has field teams with 4WD that can access those who can't even get out of their areas and dwelling places.
I have personally seen how these people live, and testify that they are the poorest of the poor. Many are in shacks at best, some in dwellings over a hundred years old with no insulation, no water sometimes, and no heat. Many do not even have the funds to use electric if it is even available. You can find many of their stories on Youtube, and they are those in the Appalachian Mountains who have been living in poverty for decades.
Please pray about sending anything you can to help these families, even if each person reading could send $1.00. Because of the audience that reads Father's words, there is a possibility that many would not go hungry if everyone would help in their own way, based on what Father has provided. Father will bless each one of you, even if the gift is very small. He multiplies His blessings to those who faithfully walk with Him and provide for others as He leads.
I remember a homeless woman who lived in California, and she would send me a one dollar bill in an envelope, which was given to her by someone, but she insisted on giving it to the sanctuary here. She lived out of a grocery store cart on the streets, and someone who helped her mailed the envelope for her. It reminds me of the woman in the Bible with the small change who gave all that she had to the Temple.
Luke 21:1-4
And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites.So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty, put in all the livelihood that she had.”
Father will reward each gift that comes from your hearts knowing your intentions and needs, and He will always provide for you and reward you in His timing for your faithfulness.
I will put the information below as to where to send your gifts. Please send any donations to Musicians Mission of Mercy (MMOM) directly, and not to us here at Behold I Come. They will receive the funds faster this way, so they can go and purchase the non-perishable foods and basic needs to give away.
Thank you in advance for your support and outpouring! Last year when we asked for help for the Thanksgiving Food Drive, they received enough to provide for all their 'regular' families, plus more! Hallelujah and all glory to the risen King Yahushua (Jesus Our Messiah)!
We love you and keep each and every one of you in our prayers every day!
Shalom and many blessings,
Doug and Julie
