It is not clever technology that will see salvation brought to the ends of the earth. It is the taking on of His Name, His nature and character, the living of His life and the partaking in His sufferings and death.”– John Willis Zumwalt

Sunset Avenue Church of God located in Asheboro, NC deployed a Missions team lead by Paul and Faith Trollinger to House of Hope Central Ohio located in Crooksville, OH.  The purpose for this project was to minister encouragement to Ron & Kathy Kovacs directors of HOHCO, as well as performing several construction projects.

We are enermously thankful for your generousity. Can you please deliver our thanks to your generous people? Wow it is just big blessing.
My husband went to UB and brought the noodle making machine. Now our people are making more noodles than before. We spent almost 360$ to buy and bring it to here.

We bought one truck of coal for our house and church building.
I don't how I can explain about your love gift.
It was just huge blessing. Just The day before sent the money  the pipes and radiator of my house got frozen because we run out of coal. 
This winter is the coldest winter I have ever known. Victor you know we have small room next to our kitchen  which is like dining room.  We all stay there now. it is warmer because there is no pipes and radiator it has heating wall which makes the room warmer than another rooms. That night was very cold even we had two thick blankets. We burnt wood untill midnight wood burns faster than coal.  The water in the pipes became ice. We brought plumber and he helped to unfreeze the pipes and radiator. Next day God gave us money to buy one truck of coal. We burn one truck of coal just for 2 weeks. It is expensive. We will finish our coal after few days. He will help us again like he did few days ago.

Our church building radiator was fine because there is an antifreeze in the pipe not water..
People said it wasn't cold like this for last 40 years. Sometimes it gets almost minus 50 usually it is 40 degree.
Our people are hardly surviving. Being hungry is not being a problem but this cold weather is just like a pain. 

We don't want to spend money on fuel again because the rest of the money will be spent for the couple's Discipleship training soon.  You will not hear that Unor's family got frozen. God is good like He always was.

I really want you to deliver your generous people our gratitude. We are staying warm because of your love gift. After selling many bags of noodles 3 people will have income and feed the entire family. I see that God wants these couple to do this school. That is why He provides these couple through you. It is just  a truly  miracle for us  brothers and sisters!
It is more than money gift it is spiritual investment for their future life. God really cares for His people. Who could imagine and expect that people who don't know about us will be so generous to us. God is  awesome we see and feel because of what you did.
Please tell each and everyone of those who even gave a penny to hundreds of dollars THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. You really planted the seed in right soil. We bless that He will multiply what you planted.    

Much love in HIM Nara

First of all I want to thank everyone who worked so hard during these past weeks for the Mission's Event.

The auction was wonderful, the Banquet just gets better every year, and seeing the evidence of a church DEPLOYING was exciting! Once again the truth that as we give we receive. I believe that many of you received things from God, because you have been willing to obey HIM in giving your time, talent and treasure!

Below are two testimonials of children from India that your gifts have assisted. Several things I noted. I noted the clean clothes that the children had on. (I hope the pictures will come thru in this email) The words, that although someone else may have written, expressed their pain yet great joy of being in a safe place.

Your giving assisted in this and only God knows the difference you have made.

James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." [NIV]

I am a Christian that was living in Kandamal. I was studying in a children's home in G.Udayagiri. I was in class 7 when all the attacks against the Christians took place. Our children's home was also attacked by a group of 40 Hindu fanitics. All of the children had to run toward the forest for safety as we feared we were going to be killed. We joined another group of 80 - 100 people hiding in the jungle. The fanatics were following us and searching the jungle to try to catch us. They were closing the gap and getting near to us when the rain came and we were saved. Thankfully they fanatics went away. All the children were in the jungle for three days without food. The only water was the rain water. Then the CRPF army men came patrolling and told us to come to the camp in G. Udayagiri. In the camp we were not getting suficient food and were fearing every day we might be attacked again. The stories we heard were terrible. In the camp so many people did not know where their family members were. Many were lost. We heard crying all night long in the camp and some women were screaming as they could not be comforted. We wanted to leave. Then a Christian brother came from Jharsuguda and told us we could go to Jharsuguda if we wanted, I decided to go.  Now I am happy here in Jharsugda as I do not fear any trouble. I can study also.  Thank you.

I lived in Baliguda ton. My mother died when I was a baby. My father works as a labourer. I was studying in the village in class 3. When we were atacked by the Hindu fnatics we all ran to the jungle. Myself and two girls we climbed up a tree. Sudenly we saw that a group of people carying knives were chasing a man t attack him. They caught the man and using an axe chopped his head at the neck. The man was struggling and crying out for help, but there was no one to help him. They left him helpless on the ground for dead. We stayed quietly up the tree waiting for the fanatics to go. Later my father came searching for us and rescuded us. He decided to bring us to Jharsuguda where we are safe and secure.
