Introducing Kevin Watterson

This Sunday, November 30th during Pizza lunch we have asked Abbie and Tim Rask to give us an update on their preparation for ministry in India. We have also asked Kevin Watterson from EFCA Crisis Resonse to introduce himself, his family and their ministry.

Here is some ministry information on the Wattersons:

This Sunday, November 30th, during Pizza Lunch, Kevin Watterson from EFCA Crisis Response will be introducing himself and his family. The Watterson family is in the process of raising support for an extended ministry with Crisis Relief. We hope you will enjoy getting to know Kevin and will prayerfully consider meeting with him to discuss his support when he calls.

Kevin and Babette Watterson along with their kids, Kendra-10 and Logan-8 will be sharing their support needs and their Vision for Ministry with EFCA’s Crisis Response ministry. Kevin was the owner of a small heating and air conditioning company up until May of 2006 when God called him to sell his business and opened the way for him and his family to join Crisis Response.

Kevin and his family have been serving with Crisis Response since February of 2007 as short term missionaries, and have recently switched their status to long-term. They have relocated from Pennsylvania to Louisiana in July this past year and are currently raising support as they serve in the ministry.

As you may recall, Kevin came with Mark Lewis here to Trinity Fellowship to help in the Ike recovery effort the Sunday after the storm hit. Many of you have joined the relief effort and shared in the ministry opportunities that hurricane Ike has created.

One of the guiding principles of Crisis Response is the belief that in the wake of every crisis lies an opportunity for ministry. Crisis Response exists to “Show the Love of Christ to Those in Need” by meeting the physical, emotional and relational needs of people with the intention of sharing the good news of the gospel of Christ as the other needs are met.

Cutting trees, cleaning up debris, gutting houses and helping in the rebuilding effort after disasters provides the opportunity for non-believers to see Christians in action, and leads to questions about why we do what we do and builds the credibility needed for people to listen when we talk about Jesus, and the hope we have in him.

Please come and join us as we hear how God has worked through the Crisis Response ministry, and the vision and challenges Kevin and his family face in joining the Crisis Response ministry.
