I live in a small town of 5,000 population. There are a lot of churches here. Mostly Baptist and only one apostolic/oneness church that I know of. I guess it is different in larger cities. And it doesn't really matter to me who offered or didn't offer, but that the cause of Christ is being done. Nothing else should have entered anyone's mind. But to give God the glory for a GREAT thing being done for His church, the body, not the building.

This is my first @ posting a comment, but I feel I must. I know for a fact that the pastor of the UPC church 2 blocks away...was the first on the scene to offer any assistance. The District Supt., was there when the offer was made. The AG church is just ascroos the street, and much more convient. "Kudos" to Pastor Cliff Walker, and the Calvary Church (UPC).

Yes, isn't that just like Him. Keeps on doing what He does no matter what all the nay sayers do. Works things for His good and perfect will. Turning sorrow into JOY. Weeping may endure for the night, but Joy cometh in the morning.

When this is all over, the church will look back at all of this as a blessing from God!
