Re: LET'S HELP JESSIE

[kay-gee]

CALLING ALL CTZ USERS. It's time for us to step up to the plate as GODs people and help a sister. Looking for funds and a co-ordinator. Perhaps this hasn't been done before on internet forums. Guess what! we're about to make history! Maybe we can't provide jobs or homes, but we certainly can raise enough for a big whack of groceries and pay some bills. We have all been blessed by our LORD, now is the time to act and get those wallets out! JAMES 2 vs 15,16 Please register your willingness to participate by a post to this thread. Thank-you in advance. KEEP PRAYING! (1Thess5:17)

What makes you think we don't already involve ourselves in helping others? :scratch:

[roman8]

[Jessie]

Nothing can replace the effectiveness of prayer that`s for sure. :pray: :hug:

:tiphat::scratch: Any new news about Operation Help Jessie?

People constantly say that prayer helps. Yes, this statement is true, but the Lord does answer prayers through other people as well.

So then, who can authoritatively say that we are not the said "other people," if our consciences may say otherwise?

Then, Core, please prove that "you" are helping Jessie, as opposed to challenging the opposing viewpoint to prove that "you" are not helping Jessie.

[a.baker]

:pray: I pray for you much Jessie and continue to do so :hug: . I think about you and where ever you are and hope things work out. In the end they will. I am familiar with many of your struggles and sometimes just being there for each other with a listening ear and trying to understand can go a very long way. I wish I could help out you and your family financially as well as others in the family of Christ but I cannot at the moment. (you know me better personally than some others :): ). So I continue to be here for what ever you need and what ever I have to give.

For the record to others I just want to say that yes, it does not take money to help out much. I don't even have enough of that stuff myself for my own personal family. It just makes me sad when people focus on money when it comes to help because than that puts my help out of the picture. I feel I have so much to give and the world views it as nothing because it is not a material to hand over. But I know Jesus views what I have to offer as much.

I am not saying, to not help out some one financially (in fact my family just received all kinds of financial help from people at church and still are) ; I am just saying lets not forget all the other wonderful things out there that do help that have nothing to do with materials. We all have different ways to contribute to our family in Christ. :nod:

Bills and food comes and goes, but a friend sticks around for a life time :D .

Does one have to brag in the open about what they do for whom when for it to count? Answer that for yourself by seeing what the Bible says on the issue.

I will not say whom I have helped financial or otherwise, or whom I have not.

Core, you cannot have it both ways. Specifically, you cannot challenge the opposing viewpoint to prove that you have not helped Jessie, yet insist that how you have helped Jessie is a private issue entirely.

:scratch: What is going on, Core? The fact of the matter is that roman8, kay-gee, and I wish to help Jessie, yet you and others here are trying to convince us that no help is needed.

:nod: Let us let Jessie make the decision at any time, okay?

[CoreIssue]

I never said for anyone to not help in their own way. I never said help was not appropriate. Do it and God bless.

But no one should be assuming others have not helped because they are not in this particular organized effort. Or that this thread is the ONLY communications that have occurred on this or others in need issues.

I am saying those who wish to help this way please do. But don't judge others as not helping others, be it Jessie or anyone else.

This is the problem when someone posts a thread asking for finacial help for someone.
Some people can`t afford to help out financially but can help by praying or sending a supportive pm.
I think it is pretty bold and rude for you to come on here and challenge anyone about what they have done or will do as far as supporting someone.
If you want to send money then send it but i for one don`t need to hear your horn toot and will not tolerate your attacks on Core or anyone else.
Consider that a warning. :nod:

My husband (eahaddix) and myself would really like to help Jessie if she so chooses to accept our help. I am sure that most of us on this board do have our own financial issues to deal with, but I think that if everyone were to give at least $20, we could help Jessie without causing too much of a pinch in our own wallets. I know that may not sound like much, but every little bit helps. If everyone would give at least $20, it could add up to at least $100-200. This amount could help pay a bill or two, which could help create a buffer zone for Jessie.

Jessie, please do not be concerned about being a burden or inconvenience to the people on this board. I know that you have made a lot of prayer request about financial problems. Perhaps, as eahaddix stated in his post, the Lord intends us (CTZ) to be at least part of the answer to the prayers. The extra money can help free you in some degree to where you will be able to focus on more spiritual issues instead of monetary issues. In short, we care about you Jessie and we just want to help. Just let us know what you want to do, Jessie. :hug:

[InTheWind]

My question and concern is why you or anyone else thinks they have to make it public of what they give, if anyone wants to give money to Jessie then do so but i think it`s best to do it privately. That way those that can`t or don`t want to give arn`t made to look bad. I think that a thread stating that it would be great if anyone was inclined to donate what ever to contact Jessie and ask her for her address.
I don`t think God wants people boasting about what they give, we see enough of that on tv.

[Ladyberg]

InTheWind,

This is not an issue about trying to make it public on how much one can give, but just simply trying to make an organized effort in trying to help a sister in Christ in need. I know, as for myself at this current time, there is no way that I could effectively help Jessie on my own. What is the harm in making a public announcement with that? However, since you are insistent for some reason to make this a private issue, I am willing to "step up to the plate" and be the coordinator of this effort that Kay-Gee requested. If anyone is willing to give to Jessie, give me a PM. Also, Jessie please give me a PM if you are willing to accept the help.

[InTheWind]

There is nothing wrong with making a public announcement that Someone is in need but i think it best that you make a separate thread that states that if anyone wants to give to contact you or Jessie privately.
That would not make it awkward for anyone.
Consider this thread closed.
