you can find this interview on UA-cam, but please pray for a man who lost 11 family members from Helene.
His name is Jesse. He lost his mom, his dad, a brother, aunts and uncles.
I think the name of their town was craig city because it was eight generations of families that live there on that land and built homes there.
Please keep him in the remaining of his family in your prayers. I just can’t even imagine.
I heard about him. Just heartbreaking! Will pray for him!
Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa , CA was my home church from 1982 until I moved to South Carolina in 2017 I am praying for your church and the body of CC of Ashville. This is the only time I have ever regretted my aging body I so wish I could be there working, ministering, showing the love of Jesus. God be with you all!
Me and my husband live in upstate SC. We visit Summerville, SC often and go to CC Summerville whenever we are in town. Love Pastor Vic!
Praying for all the victims of the devastation from Helena.🙏🏻
I know how you feel about your aging body. I live in Texas and only wish I could get there to help. But I walk with a walker and loss my vehicle years ago to a fire. I was born in Winston Salem and wish I could be there to help. All I can do is pray and I've been doing that everyday since this has happened. God bless you sweetie 😘
I hear you! but we can pray and give as we are able
I don't know you but I am in PA and I feel the same way! Would love to be able to go there and jump right and help in any capacity! However prayer is one powerful way to give of ourselves.
@@phyllislindeboom2215 YES! It is I agree
Wonderful u spring God bless,all in Calvary Chapely Ashville and beyond..you are all in my prayers❤
Sending prayers from Indiana. So many towns and cities have been sending supplies from here. God is good. Thank you for this video. Keep us up dated❤ Love and prayers for God's grace and mercy. And that good always prevails.
The Body of Christ! Amazing!
This storm did so much damage, absolutely horrific but I truly believe there's also going to be many blessings that come due to the storm. I believe people are going to be saved. It also is uniting people and waking people up. We cant rely on our government but we can rely on each other.
Pastor Billy, my heart is overflowing with thanks to God for all those who have answered the call. God bless you & all the volunteers for rhe selfless acts to help & rescue & do the work I am too broken to help with. I pray. I pray God will turn this around for the Praise of His Glory! I pray salvation is a result of this love being shown to strangers & neighbors. Glory to God! Hallelujah!
God bless you guys from Jax FL!!!!!!!!! Praying for y'all
"In the Eye of the Storm He remains in control. "
The body of Christ weeps and rejoices with you. This is one of the most encouraging messages I have heard. We in the Piedmont are with you in Spirit and as soon as the opportunity presents itself, we will deploy bodily.
May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus name. 🙏
God's Plan A has ALWAYS been His people! What beautiful hands, feet and hearts of Jesus. I'm seeing that too in my area of East Tennessee - I know our Father is smiling. Precious!!
Y E S ! 😇
What a lovely man. God Bless him and bless his congregation
I came to the Lord in 1980, in West Covina, Raul Ries was our pastor. We’ve been in NC for 35 years! So thankful for CC❤
Jesus is healing the brokenhearted & an ever present help in time of need🙏🏻🙏🏻 Praying more more help & resources🫶🏼
Thank you pastor Osigian for the update and reminder to look Heavenward for Jesus.
Praying for everyone affected by Helen & Milton, they would see signs, wonders, healings, resources multiplie miraculously 1000 fold only Jesus Christ can do.
I worked on vehicles for cccm and word for today for years and used to love just talking to Chuck and Romaine while working on the stuff. They were True Men of God.
Pastor Billy was my Pastor for years until we moved away from Asheville. I have never seen a more hard working man of God, with a true Pastor's heart for the flock God has entrysted to him. God is and will continue to be glorified through all of this!
What a divine appt! Lord bless everyone involved .. God's Army 💪💪🏼🙌💪🏼💪
God bless you guys from Calvary Everett, WA. We'll be there soon.
Beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!
Praise God for his Church who does the work of Jesus, for the people willing to shoulder any task, and work as a team, to give their all!! ❤❤❤ from Argentina.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. How great is our God.
Thank you for this. We all need encouragement and we do that by sharing. God is so good and is always with us
Praise the Lord O my soul and all that is within me! ❤
Overcomers! They are the hands and feet and hearts of Jesus!
So many miracles have taken place pastor. The Lord is protecting and working through His people. Praise God for soldiers of God who kept going like machines to help. Thank you for this testimony brother. Last Calvary I attended was Honolulu. Praying for you and your congregation.
Praise the Lord, let the earth rejoice...
May helping hands be strengthened and the gifts multlipied exceedingly...
Thank God...!!!
Praying for all in the STORM !!!
This is the hope we needed to hear right now about the unity in the church! Thank you for sharing this hope for the world! God is the answer, and He works through the churches. The government is NEVER the solution, only godly men and women! Thank You, Jesus, for this mighty testimony! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
A true pastor’s heart! His main focus… How can we help? Praise God for true pastors
The “almost” story really blessed me. God bless you all. 🙏🏼❤️
Praise God! He IS OUR EVER PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE!! GLORY!! PSALM 46 V.1 🙏❤
We are not going to stop helping y'all until this is over! ❤
Thank you for sharing your experiences. God knows exactly what we needed to experience in order to purify His Church.
It is lovely hearing and seeing the Church coming together to help one another!! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
The young man’s tee shirt says it all: “From death to LIFE”! Praise God! I’m weeping with so many that are weeping, but I’m expecting a move of the Holy Spirit like we’ve never seen before 🔥🔥🔥
Yes Indeed . . . we are overdue for another 'great awakening' . . . Evenso, come LORD JESUS ! 🤎
Biblical
AMEN 🙌🙌🙌
I love this! This is Jesus at work.
I attended Calvary Chapel for 7 yrs with Billy and wife Nada.
I moved with them from Ft.Laud to help start the new Church 33 yrs ago, but was unable to find suitable property within our budget. Kudos 👏 to Billy for all the people he is able to help.
Much love ❤
Wonderful story of God’s people being the hands and feet of Jesus
This is what God meant the church to be. We were always to rely on God, not government.
#thisisthechurch
#relyonGodnotgovernment
It was so unexpected. However, it was double Blessed to be feet and hands of the Lord, as we served in Swannanoa, NC. With Billy Graham’s Organization and
Franklin is always boots on the ground in disaster. It was amazing to see volunteers from all over the county. To clean up and take these wet walls and floors out. Heavy work but praying with the Widows (92, the oldest) through out day. The churches and communities were there for the people.
No sign of the government. Myorkis said no money. He turned it into heartless America as billions went out of our country. We need leadership that can run a budget. Leadership matters. Praying 🙏🏼. Thank you for this testimony. We only lost power 8 days in Greenville. God Bless.
Our God is an awesome God..pray
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!
Awesome update! Great to hear Calvary Chapels around the country are blessing many, As well as other volunteers! 🙏🙏 Praying!
I love the song I will praise you in the storm. God will make ALL things work together for good to those that love Him and are called according to His purposes!
Amen. I cling to this. 🙏🥲
My church is donating money and food. We are in Central Florida, so we have Milton survivors to help now. My heart breaks for the people of NC! Prayers!!!
Yes, this is The Church. ❤
Awesome testimony!
My wife and I live in Waynesville. This is such a wonderful testimony of Jesus with skin on people helping. It is going to be a long time for things to be rebuilt but God has purpose and plan for Asheville and Calvary Chapel.
Awesome to here this news God bless
I'm from the church of Jesus Christ... and i love this message and these people.
When disaster happens. It's always the local churches doing the comfort, work, and organizing.
Thank you pastor
Such a beautiful testimony!
His ways are higher. And your trials have brought not just your communities together but America.
We are truly praying and donating if we can’t come directly.
God bless them all the churches and the church people coming to your aid!!!! To God be the glory!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing!! Now you're helping to build OUR faith! We will continue to pray. Pray. Pray.
Thank you for sharing, Pastor.
God bless you all 🙏🇬🇧💕
Thank you for sharing. I’m praying.
The storms are journeys that can make us better and give us eternal perspective. I needed to see/hear this clarion call to look to God and let Him do all He can with/through me
Blessings! I’m from Calvary Chapel Greater Portland Maine and my prayers are with you all! My brother use to live in Asheville, but is now back in Northern Maine.
Thank you Lord for protecting Your people as You promised!
Just watching now, and SO blessed to be a member of the Calvary Chapel family. Calvary Philly is my home church and my 2nd church is Calvary Quakertown where my son is starting his 3rd year as Asst & Youth Pastor. I believe my daughter is signed up to come with a team in a few weeks. Thank you for sharing your heart. God is good to be generous with the "almosts". Blessings for vision and strength as you go forward.
I'm glad you consider it a blessing to be a member of your church!🙏🏻✨️ But they aren't a blessing in communities to anyone who has different Christian views❗️ The Calvery church is guilty of mocking my religion!
I'm forever grateful to be a member of The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saint's ❗️💜 And your church preaches hatred against my church , how loving and Christian is that?
Your church seems to think they are a right t9 belittle God's children that belong to my church and that's wrong!
Heavenly Father wants us to have free agency so we can choose for ourselves what church we will attend!
In my many years of being a member of my church, not once have I ever heard anyone speak badly about another person's faith! Our members truly try to emulate christ like love and respect for God's children that are not of our faith!
@@stardustgirl2904 I can tell that you are angry and hurt that does not escape my concern. I am confident that you did not hear hate from any denomination preached. The Bible tells us our freedom (free agency you mentioned) is in regard to surrendering our life to Christ, accepting His sacrifice on the cross, acknowledging that we are sinners in need of a Savior. We can choose the church we fellowship with and it can be for growth or detriment. There are very large doctrinal differences between your church and any Calvary. Possibly you have heard those differences expounded on and it seemed as mocking, hate and belittling. I don't know enough about your experience. If any team, supported by any Calvary Chapel comes along side of you, the differences would not change their willingness to pray with you, help you with any labor you are in need of, give you any food, supplies, etc, that you might need. I pray you will one day sit face to face with any Pastor(s) you believe preach hate and tell them how you feel and be open or hear their answer. I hope you are safe. Blessings.
Oh, I also wanted to ask, being very sincere, so I can understand you, Why are you reading this update and following if you have such a bad feeling about Calvary? It is up to you if you would like to answer.
@@EliseR-d1y You don't know me ,you have no idea what my life experiences are! You don't know what I know! The Calvery church has always taught against my church and our doctrine so! You always say we aren't Christians, when you have zero idea how much we love Jesus Christ ❤️ and how we put him first in our lives! You see it's not your job to tell us how to live or what to believe! I have walked with God my whole life! And God brought me to my church I'm in. I have been to many churches ⛪️ visiting seeing things for myself!
I personally don't care what church you attend, you have your own life choices to make! But I do care when you teach hate against my church just because we have a difference of opinion!
I never feel the spirit of God in any of the churches I have visited! Instead I feel what's missing in the churches and the lack of revelation! I have sat face to face with many people in Calvery church! Hate isn't taught in my church! And I'm forever grateful for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saint's! And the glorious Temple work we do to gather ✨️ Isreal! It's sad to know people say their Christians when they don't act like it, and they believe there the only one's who have the right to claim their Christians, and denounce other churches as not being Christians! Who gave you that authority? No one! Have you read the Book of Mormon? Do you know what is written in it? Do you know it's another testament or Jesus Christ? Many people from other churches join our church in search of the spirit ✨️ of God! I wish you well, but you need to know you have the right to your own opinion, but you don't have the authority to say someone's church isn't Christian, when you have no idea how we worship Jesus Christ the redeemer and Savior of the world 🌎
Thank you for sharing and we love you and are praying for everyone affected
Love in Christ; from Calvary Chapel, Springfield!
Thank you sir for sharing your experiences. We are praying for you from northern VA. I love what our Canadian brothers & sister said above ⬆️ “we are only a prayer away”
I’m thankful for this testimony. It has given me a greater perspective. I see God is bringing beauty for ashes. The oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness; The body of Christ is working in the fields of harvest. God will reach many souls for His kingdom through this storm. His body has been mobilized.
Thank you Pastor Billy for sharing. I love and miss everyone at CC Asheville. I'm glad you guys are OK. What a testimony of Gods grace and love.
Pray for all those who have volunteered to help that God will bless them with super strength and health to get the job done and that He will keep them safe from harm. Thanks be to God who causes all to chip in and do their part to help get things back to normal. Makes me think of the song "Little Drops of Water." Little drops of water little grains of sand make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land. Little deeds of kindness, little thoughts of love make the world more brighter like that home above." Thanks be to God for all the volunteers who have given their time to make things a little brighter.
Thank you for posting Pastor. It’s good to hear from you🧡
Am so loving people helping people, especially Christians. As it should be. No one did or could have predicted the damage. Great loss of life. So glad you are there to minister to the community. Detoxing is good. There will be grief and PTSD.
Thank you for sharing situation with us, so far away physically as we are on Vancouver Island off west coast of British Columbia, Canada….but, only a prayer away as we know our precious Lord. We are now praying with purpose.
This IS America as intended...
And the Church as it was intended. 💜

" InAs Much As You Do Unti the Least of These.Therefore Will I Do Unto You Before My Father Which Is In Heaven"( may be paraohrased...prob my fav verse)..... 🙏🙏🙏......
We are Calvery chapel church in Indy known as Horizon Christian Fellowship. Been following closely as we have family & friends down there. Our church sent people to one of the churches down there. Praise God for your testimony & giving God the glory! 🙏🏻
I came really close to moving from Michigan to Asheville. I had even a one way airline ticket. Then there came a time when I knew it wasn’t the will of Lord. I truly believe part of this was because God knew you guys would need prayer.
Wonderful response of God's people! ❤
🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻 glory to the Lord
What man has meant for evil, I will make good! God is amazing 💕🙏🏻💕
. . . Now we're talkin' ! bless you neighbor 🤎
Praise God for all the church people came to help. I love hearing God is their for those all around getting help.
This is so encouraging to hear in the midst of great tragedy. Praying for all affected
The Lord be with you and give you His strength every new day. Shalom 🐾🐾
We pray for the brave people there. We were privileged to be members of Calvary Concow church, Concow, California. Up in the mountains, where the mountain lions and bears roam. Blessed to be part of that church. We had the opposite; fire, the Camp Fire (also known as the Paradise Fire), so now we live in Wisconsin. Hopefully, with time and help, your town will recover. And because of the wonderful sharing of help, you will be closer together!
That's what God wants... come together ❤
❤ the camp fire in Paradise was a controlled burn too unfortunately. Land grabs are real. 😢
@@melissahettick6576 no, it was started by a worn part of one of PGE towers. It went 10 or more miles between 6:30 and 7:30 am. There was no evacuation sirens, the firemen, policemen, and residents all used whatever means they had to warn everyone. There was only one way out of the fire, however many people managed to climb small mountain trails, etc. to get out. By the time the residents were realizing there was a fire, houses and businesses were on fire. The hospital pretty much burned, and wonderful people (again fire, police, residents, etc.) managed to get nearly everyone out of the hospital. People burned in their cars trying to get out. Residents were so brave and risked their lives to help each other. This fire took nearly all of Paradise, half of Magalia, and 4 small towns. Ours was partly burned, Concow, California. It was first called the “Camp Fire” as it started near “Camp Fire Road.” The winds that morning were approximately 70 mph. Friends of mine couldn’t get out and ended up sheltering in Lake Concow (the small reservoir). I have never heard of this supposed “controlled burn!” More than 85 people died in this fire.
Chuck Smith must be grinning from ear to ear up in heaven with Pride for the congregations that he helped establish!
God’s people have shown up in a mighty way.
I came to the Lord in 1981 in San Diego through a lady who belonged to a Calvary chapel Church. God used Chuck Smith and the Jesus revolution to light on fire many people for Jesus. And the Holy Spirit is still moving! 🙌
👏🙏🙏🙏
They are angels sent by the Lord to help you! All supernatural, or He can about people to empower to hem to do the job! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
Praise Jesus Christ

Highly recommend Samaritan Purse. This will be a long haul effort. We Americans and Christians have to pull together.
Send a money order to : Salvation Army , P.O. Box 1959 , Atlanta Georgia ❤ ... like I did 😊
