True love
After being a team for six
years, minimally sighted Gra-
ham Waspe and his guide dog
Edward suffered the loss of Ed-
wards vision. Very soon, Gra-ham received a new guide dog,
Opal, but he didnt give Edward
away. Instead, Opal now leads
them both and they all share
strong bonds of love.
Does God love us for the ways
we serve him? When we can no
longer carry out the tasksweve long done, will God love
or approve of us less? We
seem to believe so, judging by
how we keep track of our good
works and those of others.
Vietnam Veterans
we need a picture
of you in uniform.
Need to know:
Your Name
Branch of Service
Years served
*It does not matter if you served in ac-
tual war, just in a branch of the service
during the Vietnam conflict.
All photos w/ info need to be turned
in no later than May 6 and can be
picked up from the church office
after May 25.
May 27, 2012 is the Vietnam Veterans
Recognition Sunday.
But God loves us for who we
are his children. Our deeds
of service show our love for
God in return; they dont earn
his love. When we become
sick or disabled, God doesnt
count us worthless and dis-
pose of us. He keeps loving
us and brings others near to
serve not only him but us as
well. Like the retired guide
dog, may we rest in that
loving care.

The Week at a GlanceChristians have great cause for laughter on
a daily basis. We can laugh because we
know that no matter how much tragedy we see or may suffer
personally, we have theassurance that God can turn it all around
and bring great good out of evil.
The proof of that, for Christians, is Jesus resurrection.Charles
Ferrell

The Fruits of Your Labor and
Love
Last summer, WLBC, as well as
other churches, worked hard
collecting and donating used
Sunday School literature, reli-
gious books, various needed
items and monetary donations
to help Rev. Godstime and his
teachers in Nigeria.
And what the teachers wanted
most were dry erase boards. Sowe collected money to help
pur-
chase some, as seen in the top
left photo.
Thank you for giving so that
others can spread the Good
News of our Savior and can
have what they need to teach
the children well.

March 2012 newsletterMarch 11, 2011 started in a hurry. My
friend
and I needed to take my son, Kenji, a few
hours away for a routine MRI. After the
predicted amount of time had passed a nurse
entered the hall and said the MRI was fin-
ished but they needed a little more time. [Then] the floor began
to move
and walls swayed to the degree that people lost their
orientation and had
difficulty standing upright. Tremors were measured in Russia and
China.
Japan had moved nearly 8 ft. closer to the US. The Earth was so
impacted
that it shifted between 4 and 10 inches on its axis.
We were told my son needed emergency brain
surgery. Massive tsunamis began to crash the country and eat
men, ma-
chines, crops anything it encountered for 6 miles. In one area
the wave was
the height of a 10 story building. The sea attacked more than
half of the
country and the first domino fell to began nuclear
meltdown.Another childrens hospital was devastated by
flood waters and we needed to go home to allow for our childrens
hospital
to take in more kids. We waited for the emergency surgery, from
home.
Within a day all the supplies at any store were basically gone
in the north.
People were huddled in emergency shelters with no food, no
water, no elec-
tricity, no heat source and only the clothes they were wearing
when they ran
from the sea. The survivors were beginning to die.
Some of our teammates had been working with us but their
home
was in Sendai, one of the hardest hit areas. Several of our
students also are
from this area. Ration limits were set on goods and fuel.
Rolling blackouts
for several hours were announced to go into effect. My son
needed an oxy-

gen machine to breathe, we needed electricity. For we are a
fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being
saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma
from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to
life. And who is adequate for these things(*) 2 Corinthians
2:15,16 Who is adequate for these things (*)500,000 peo-ple were
displaced, around 16,000 were dead and more than 3,000 are still
missing today. Who is adequate for these
things (*) Only God. God plans to use the Christian as a pitcher
of Him to be carried wherever He places them to be
poured out on the people He surrounds them with.
The need was great and our resources limited. We began to pray
about what God wanted us to do. Then, we
were contacted by Thomas Terrace Baptist Church and told that a
special offering had been collected for these needs.
God had provided! God showed how He was supplying for those He
wanted us to reach. We were simply His fingers and
fingers by themselves are small. But you, dear church, are part
of the wrist that is part of an arm that was part of the
WHOLE body of Christ with the very Spirit of God running in the
veins. Whether in Asia or the USA or anywhere else on
the globe the body of Christ is one; we are never alone nor are
we ever powerless.
We prayed then began to look at where and how God wanted us to
pour. God allowed us to find ways to ac-
cess some gas burners and portable gas cans, packaged milk that
didnt require refrigeration, diapers and a few morethings. Then our
friends stocked their house as a mini- command center. Our students
formed teams and provided
weekend meals for evacuees. We listed and stocked our church and
a local house for evacuee housing. Our teammates
in Sendai are still doing Bible studies and other outreaches. We
eventually went into the hospital and had an extended
stay where I got to reach and love other moms. Funds were sent
to help care for families who were now homeless
due to nuclear meltdown. Little by little God began and
continues to heal broken hearts and shattered
lives. Just this past weekend our team helped with a Franklin
Graham conference in which around
400 chose to follow Christ. Now a year later, the people havent
forgotten but they are beginning to
smile again. Lives are being rebuilt.
The Lord sat as King at the flood; yes the Lord sits as King
forever. Psalm 29 :10
