SUMMARY:Helping Immigrant Families in Minneapolis and Entire Territory
DESCRIPTION:\nDear Central States Family,\nOur Adventist Community Services department is launching a special fundraising initiative to support families in our territory who are being impacted by ongoing immigration crackdowns and are in need of help. Many of these families will experience long-term effects, and we are preparing now to walk alongside them with meaningful, sustained support.\nOur goal is to raise $10,000 to provide practical assistance and stability during this challenging season.\nIn Matthew 25, Jesus reminds us,\n“I was a stranger and you welcomed Me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.”\nCaring for vulnerable families is not only compassionate—it is Christ-centered ministry. We invite you to prayerfully partner with us as we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a time of great need.\nWays to Give\nOnline:\nGive through the Central States Adventist Giving page: https://adventistgiving.org/donate/ANG444\nClick “Add Categories” and select “CSC Disaster Response” and give in that line item.\nBy Mail:\nCentral States Conference                                     PO Box 4150                                                       Kansas City, KS 66104                                         (Please include a note indicating that the funds should go to CSC Disaster Response.)\nThank you for your generosity and faithful support of this important ministry.\nIn Christ’s Service,\nPastor Brian J. Irby,                                               CSC Adventist Community Services /Disaster Response Director\n

SUMMARY:Hurricane Melissa Help
DESCRIPTION:Hurricane Melissa Statement ( https://central-states.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Hurricane-Melissa-Statement.docx )\nOctober 31, 2025\nPrayers and Support for Victims of Hurricane Melissa\nThe Central States Conference Adventist Community Services and Disaster Response (ACS/ADR) Department extends our heartfelt prayers to all individuals, families, and communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. We grieve with those who have suffered loss and stand in solidarity with those in the process of rebuilding their lives.\nIn times like these, we are reminded of the compassion that those who belong to Jesus exhibit:\n“For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me.” — Matthew 25:35–36a (NKJV)\nWe encourage all who feel impressed to give to do so directly through the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) by visiting adra.org. Your financial support will go toward providing emergency relief and long-term recovery assistance to those most impacted.\nLet us continue to lift up in prayer the survivors, first responders, and all agencies working diligently in the recovery efforts. May the love of Christ shine through our compassion and generosity.\nWith prayer and compassion,\nCSC Adventist Community Services / Disaster Response Department\n“When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them.” — Romans 12:13\n
