Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother also have come to this earth to give us the light of salvation. However, many people consider them as a mere man, just like the Jews in 2,000 years ago.
Whatever people say, The truth will be revealed even though many hinderances.
And now, the light of God is appearing within God's reach through the member of WMSCOG.
On August 28, 2011, Hurricane Irene devastated the
neighborhood of Pompton Lakes, NJ, resulting in unprecedented damages—with some
houses receiving over 8-feet of water from the swollen Pompton River. The night
before the storm, families were unaware of the dangers around them and remained
in their neighborhoods with hopes of waiting out the storm. Early morning,
however, when Irene unleashed her fury on the state of New Jersey, the residents
had no choice but evacuate their homes, taking only loved ones and barely
escaping with necessities.
Upon returning to the community, families were
overwhelmed by the amount of damage the storm did to their property: floors had
to be ripped up, walls needed to to be knocked down, homes had to be abandoned
and mementos of precious childhoods and family vacations had to be discarded
amongst it all. Homeowners worried where they would get the manpower to clean up
and restore what was their once pristine homes. Although residents suffered
physical and emotional pains in the aftermath of the hurricane, no help was in
sight to alleviate the mounting struggles of this catastrophe.
Finally, to the residents’ consolation, over 300
volunteers of the World Mission Society Church of God arrived over the 2011
Labor Day Weekend to provide disaster relief. Members went house by house
encouraging distraught residents with smiles and coaxing them to take a rest
while they took care of the intense labor necessary to gut entire houses.
Residents said they were not able to genuinely laugh since the tragedy, but with
the help of the Church of God members, they could now feel a sense of hope for
the future.
Pompton Lakes’ Mayor, Kathleen Cole, even shed
tears of gratitude and appreciation as she thanked the volunteers for their time
and hard work. Pompton Lakes resident, Frank Alosevic, wrote to the Church of God, “With you, I felt like a human being again… I saw over 100 young and strong
come together to help people like us and never ask for anything: young faces,
different faces, beautiful faces, all with smiles. I saw what I never imagine
existed anymore, people of all walks of life working together in a brotherly and
sisterly fashion… let your loved ones know you are changing other people’s lives
for the better.”
Volunteers from the Church of God worked
arduously for three days to help families with work that, as many described,
would have taken them weeks and even months to finish on their own. When the
time to depart arrived, residents thanked the volunteer group from the bottom of
their hearts—genuinely appreciating the assistance they never thought they would
have received.
