From our former district supt.\u00a0Michael Estep<\/a>\u00a0posted July 2016
\nDear pastors,
\nWhen I arrived at the\u00a0New Vision Depot West Virginia UM Conference Disaster Response<\/a>\u00a0near Beckley, WV, I was thankful for the group of folks there, including my friend and fellow superintendent,\u00a0Joe Kenaston<\/a>. They had been working hard since the massive flooding hit West Virginia two days earlier. There were hundreds of health kits, flood buckets, and tools ready to be sent to families who were mucking out their homes. There were many United Methodist folks sorting, packing, unloading, and loading. Not only was the church at work there, but I learned that our college chaplains and other Emergency Response trained pastors were out with work teams doing pastoral care that day.
\nMy son and I followed a truck and trailer loaded with flood buckets from Beckley to White Sulphur Springs. The truck was driven by Dan and Sandra \u2013 I had helped them come to faith in Christ when I served a previous church. Boy, that was a surprise and great blessing to see.
\nEmmanuel UMC<\/a>, in White Sulphur Springs, had already become a very active supply, food, and assistance center for the area. FEMA was there. Politicians were helping. TV crews were interviewing. Families came and went with supplies. I,\u00a0Melissa Shortridge<\/a>\u00a0(Greenbrier District superintendent) and a bunch of other folks (including a man whose sister-in-law died in the flooding) unloaded a huge trailer full of needed recovery supplies from United Methodist churches in Tennessee. We had to do it by hand. It took a dozen of us (a couple of really strong college football players among us) about three hours to do it, but we were energized by the needs of people just down the street.
\nA woman in the crowd grabbed me by the arm and said, \u201cMike Estep, is that you?\u201d She spoke slowly, I could tell she was exhausted. I recognized her as someone I knew when I pastored in the area. \u201cHow are you?\u201d, I asked. \u201cWe are surviving. We are alive. We lost it all, but we\u2019re blessed to be alive.\u201d She and her husband went inside Emmanuel to rest and get what they needed. I was so thankful that we, the United Methodists, were able to help her and so many more. I\u2019m thankful that we\u2019ll be helping for weeks and months to come.
\nNow there are behind the scenes factors at work making this kind of ministry possible. Specifically, before the flood happened local churches had paid their apportionments. This fair share giving by local churches supported specific line items in the Annual Conference ministry budget that allowed us to respond quickly to this disaster. For example:
\n\u00b7 District Superintendent support line item \u2013 superintendents on the scene and helping to coordinate efforts,
\n\u00b7 Connectional Ministries line item \u2013 that helped provide hands-on leadership and resources on the ground from Conference staff; they immediately communicated the scope of the disaster and effectively communicated the immediate and long-term needs in affected areas,
\n\u00b7\u00a0General Board of Global Ministries<\/a>\u00a0line item \u2013 that provided direction and funding for our New Vision Depot, our Disaster Response Coordinators, and disaster response training for clergy and laity that have been deployed as chaplains; Volunteers in Mission coordination that has\/is\/will coordinate the deployment of volunteer work teams,
\n\u00b7 General Church Apportionment line item \u2013 that provided organization, training, and funding prior to the disaster; that created the connectional structure which has allowed resources and supplies to be brought to the area from other Conferences,
\n\u00b7 Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry line item \u2013 that provides for the ministry of our college\/university pastors and chaplains who were deployed to the area hours after the disaster.
\nRight now most of the congregations in the Potomac Highlands District are on schedule with their apportionment payments (on schedule would be payment of 50% of the 2016 Fair Share Apportionment) and some are ahead of schedule! THANK YOU! However, through June, nine of our 152 churches have not made an apportionment payment and another 25 congregations are significantly off schedule. Through June, Potomac Highlands Churches are $69,109.93 behind schedule on our apportionments.
\nI am confident the pastors, leaders, and congregations rejoice that we are able to be involved in such significant ministry and to partner with other church, state, and community organizations in bearing the burdens of those hit by disaster. I praise God that we can not only offer a flood bucket or meal, but we bring people together to worship amidst the ruins, we offer listening ears and prayers while standing in the mud, we help people connect with the hope of the Holy Spirit.
\nPastor\u2019s \u2013 please don\u2019t let any of your churches not participate in this ministry. If you need to personally designate a part of your offerings to apportionments to lift up their significance I would urge you to do so.
\nLeaders \u2013 be informed, not misinformed, about what your apportionments do. If you do not like something, if you want something changed, work with your pastor and delegate to Annual Conference to bring a recommendation for change.
\nChurches \u2013 be cheerful givers (2 Corinthians 9:7). If you can give beyond your apportionment do so; 100% of offerings sent to the Conference treasurer for \u201c#935 Flood Relief\u201d will be used for relief and recovery.
\nThank you for helping others, in the name of Christ, to bear their burden.<\/p>\n

Grace and peace,
