Lake Union Responses to The Great Flood of 1993 Pitt do, by William E. Jones, disaster response director This Indiana church group assisted with flood Lake Union Conference relief efforts in St. Peters, MO.

dventist Community Services (ACS) and Seventh-day Adventist volunteers responded early to the Awide-spread flood conditions which have controlled the lives of so many families throughout the Midwest. On Friday, July 16, a small group of Indiana Conference volunteers led by Cathryn Kuszmaul, director, traveled to St. Peters, MO, a suburb of St. Louis, where a distribution site had been set up in the Mid-Rivers Adventist Church and School (pictured above). Some volunteers were kept busy interviewing those who had suffered loss, while others distributed drinking water and assisted in sandbagging. More assistance for flood victims has been set up in the Illinois cities of Quincy (pictured right), Moline and Alton by Elder Jerry Coyle, Illinois Conference disaster response director. It was my privilege to travel to the flooded areas to help review their needs, and plan for future operations. I found from location to location and day to day, the needs varied. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is playing a major roll in distributing donated goods. Churches throughout the Lake Union have collection programs in place for items such as: bottled water, baby food and diapers, flashlights, batteries, cleaning supplies, canned food, can openers, personal comfort items (toothpaste, soap), paper goods (plates, cups) and blankets. Please call first! Individuals and groups that want to donate items, other than cash, to flood relief are urged to dial 800-253-3000 first. This 800 number acts as a clearinghouse, coordinating offers with relief workers on location at emergency distribution centers. Disorganized, unexpected arrivals of donated items that are not needed can create a backup of trucks, piles of clothing in parking lots, and actually prevent help from getting to flood victims. It is important that donations be packed in a way which will keep them from being ruined in transit, or make it difficult to handle them when they arrive at the disaster site. Pack your donations in medium and small cardboard cartons, because often the unloading must be done by hand, without forklifts or dollies. It is helpful to fill each donation box with the same kind of item and mark the box clearly with a large marker. Organize canned goods by type, too. At this time there is not a need of clothing, except for babies and preschool children. However, there is an on-going need for volunteers from outside the states of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. Many SDA members in these areas are victims who should not be asked to provide major contributions of time and energy. If your are interested in volunteering, please call 800-253-3000 before traveling to the scene, for coordination purposes.

Building Bridges of Mercy

Michigan — South Flint (MI) Church's youth group recently decided they would like to do something to help AIDS victims. The group contacted Dave Warson, a South Flint member and the director of Joy Outreach, to find out what they could do to be most helpful. Joy Outreach is a privately funded national organization that helps both victims of cancer and AIDS. Warson called Wellness Services which gives assistance to AIDS victims in Genessee County, and asked if they could suggest a project. He was told that the organization was recently A flooded portion of the river in south St. Louis, MO, pushes against the donated a house in downtown Flint to use as a center for AIDS weakened levee. patients in the latter stages of the illness, and needed help preparing the house for occupancy. flood continued from page 3 On July 21, Jim Simonds, South Flint pastor, took nine The Seventh-day Adventist Church has had excellent media young people downtown to work on this house.

BY DR. JOHN W. SMITH

n 1990, President George Bush signed into law the most sweep- ing legislation ever passed by I Congress on the behalf of disabled individuals in this country. The law, now known as "The Americans With Disabilities Act" (ADA) makes it illegal for segments of Care society to discriminate against those with physical, mental and emotional handicaps. As a blind professor and minister of the gospel for the past 20 years, I have often thought about what should be the proper response by the to Physically Church to this legislation. Thankfully, many denominations and religious organiza- tions have been actively involved in ministering to the needs of the disabled community. Sadly, however, many denominations and congregations are often confused and perplexed about how to communicate with those who Challenged are physically challenged. The church must believe and teach that God does speak to the needs of the handicapped individual.
