Crisis Care Kits – Urgent Need!
Crisis Care Kits are made by Nazarene volun-
teers and are a tangible way that we can get
involved in the disaster response process.
Thousands of Crisis Care Kits are made,
stored, and distributed globally each year as
needs inevitably arise around the world. At
this time, there is an urgent need for Crisis
Care Kits to be distributed to the Texas/
Oklahoma area due to massive flooding. We
have been contacted to help assist with this
request. Please bring any of the items listed
below to church June 7th-June 14th and place
them in the NMI wicker hamper in the foyer
near the coat racks. The NMI will assemble
the kits and send them to the appropriate col-
lection center. Thank you for your support
and participation in the need at this time.
If you have any questions, please contact Ka-ren Wanzie at 412.831.6191 or Sue Baun at
412.418.5626.

Wisdom Hunters—Faith Inspires Faith
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your
faith is being reported all over the world. Romans 1:8
Faith on display for God elevates the faith of other Jesus followers. It’s
challenging and encouraging to be with Christians who totally trust Jesus,
seeking to live out His ways. When I am with my friend, he lifts my faith
in the Lord to another level. When I am unsure about an issue or per-
turbed about a person He lovingly asks me, “What is God’s heart on this
matter?” I thank the Lord for friend because of his uplifting influence in
my life and for the effect his very positive faith has on others. Faith boldly
lived out helps others step out in significant faith.
Paul is thanking God through Christ for the Roman Christians who did
not allow persecution to stop their fiery witness. In fact, their attempted
beat down by deadly foes became a platform for sending missionaries
around the known world. These genuine followers of Jesus did not receive
honor in their home town or country, but God used them to spread the
gospel to those who would gladly be saved. Paul was compelled to pray
for them and thank God for their extraordinary faith. Faithful love in the
face of unloving forces facilitates faith and very grateful prayers. When
you take a step of faith in a difficult situation, those around you are in-
spired to follow. Their faith tends to grow along with the growth of your
faith. You may have more questions than answers to a relational dilemma.
Give someone the benefit of the doubt by helping them work through
their doubts. Be patient, someone’s self doubt is an opportunity to support
them by taking them to the Bible for confidence and comfort. Scripture
soothes the soul. Stories of faith grow faith. When someone knows God
believes in them—their belief in themselves is bettered.
Furthermore, be wise to draft behind the bold faith of other followers of
Christ. Like drafting cyclists—stay very close to those who love Christ, as
their faith energy pulls you forward. Get out of your comfort zone: join a
small group on a mission trip, accompany a caring friend on a hospital
visit, or encourage another friend or associate with a respected cause that
stands up for justice. The growth of your faith can compound exponential-
ly in the company of other growing Christians. Thank God for faith sto-
ries that fuel your soul! Faith feeds on faith.
