This post is part of a series of stories featuring the entrepreneurs who participated in Unreasonable East Africa’s 2015 program.
“I feel happy and determined to help build my nation,” says medical trainer and founder of Kajo Keji Health Training Institute (KKHTI), Dr. Lou Louis Koboji, 32, of South Sudan.
His sentiment is only the beginning of what sets his team of doctors-in-training apart from other international responses addressing the critical need for healthcare and basic services in this war affected region.
After an independence referendum in 2011, South Sudan became the world’s newest nation, but it knows little other than civil war. In December 2013, the majority of the country plunged into violent conflict stemming from a political row between President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar. Thus, what was already a weak healthcare system has been further destroyed or neglected, leaving hundreds of thousands without medical care in a time when it’s needed most.
Founded in 2013, KKHTI seeks to fortify this fragile system by creating an accelerated way to train students in medicine for $1000 USD per student per year—one fifth of the cost of traditional medical training programs in the region.
Applicants must have completed secondary school, the equivalent to high school. KKHTI trains around 120 students a year, working toward three-year diplomas in either clinical medicine and public health or medical laboratory technology. During their training, students assist accredited staff doctors in the clinics and hospitals, educating the public about water sanitation and communicable diseases. Once they earn their diplomas, they often return to work in the communities where they grew up.
As reported by the International Committee of the Red Cross, according to the Ministry of Health, South Sudan has about 120 medical doctors for an estimated population of nearly nine million people—a number that continues to rise in the fourth fastest growing nation in the world. In neighboring Kenya, for instance, there are 14 doctors per 100,000 people—10 times the ratio of South Sudan. Vulnerable groups like women, children and the wounded are particularly at risk. In fact, South Sudan has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world.
Koboji knows what it is to be at the mercy of a hospital staff. As a child, he suffered from bone cancer and was told in order to save his life, the doctors would have to amputate his legs. His uncle considered this a wrong diagnosis and refused the treatment. After seeking out the best facility he could find, Koboji was transferred and cared for with alternative methods for over three years. He studied from his bed before he was well enough to attend university and has been committed to improving healthcare ever since.
Prior to founding KKHTI, he gained an in-depth understanding of the entire South Sudan health system through roles within local government and the South Sudan Ministry of Health. He realized that government entities needed to grant the diplomas to his students because they offer legitimate and invaluable support while operating in volatile conditions. By forging and maintain these key relationships, Koboji continues to garner success compared to foreign aid.
For example, medical practitioners under organizations like Doctors Without Borders operate in lower numbers after direct attacks on their facilities. Although hospitals and other places meant to shelter civilians from hostilities are specifically protected under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), these rules have been violated repeatedly throughout the current conflict in South Sudan. Koboji leverages his citizenship and ability to form alliances with the government to avoid being a target. The depletion of outside aid makes the mission of his organization clear and indispensable.
By the end of 2016, 50 students will graduate. They’ll also admit another round of students for a total of 175—an increase since operations began, and they continue to scale as they procure more resources such as staff, funding and educational materials.

Gary woke up today with a horrid headache and has spent most of the day in bed. He keeps apologizing every time I check on him. I keep telling him that he has nothing to apologize for. Sickness happens. Heavens know he has had to deal with many of my bad days over the years. And as much as we would like to argue the fact, we can’t really control what we catch or what we come down with. Yes, there are certain behaviors that will make us tend to be healthy, but none of those are guarantees that life will be uneventful.
I am not an expert on marriage by any stretch of the imagination. It is just a state I have enjoyed for a fairly long time. Since I was young when I married, I have spent much more of my life married than unmarried. And I am glad for that.
Moses was married and I think he thought of Zipporah quite a bit as he wrote the Psalm. Yes, it was focused on the Lord, but the verses kept cycling back to the brevity of time on earth. Since I am a fading flower, here today and gone tomorrow, I am glad that another plant of equal brevity walks alongside me. Today, I can help him and be there for him as he mends. Tomorrow, he could return the favor. It is that give and take that makes each day with him special.
Moses also says in that Psalm, Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. (verse 14) As often as not, it is the life companion that God has provided me that helps me see the joy in each day. It is his hand in mine that brings gladness to my heart and reminds me that our Heavenly Father loves to give good gifts to His children.
So today, on our anniversary, I will rejoice and be glad in the husband God gave me. We may not be able to celebrate today together as planned, but I can celebrate that he is my husband and that we still share this wonderful gift of life together.

Geometric series, in mathematics, an infinite series of the form a + ar + ar2 + ar3+⋯, where r is known as the common ratio. A simple example is the geometric series for a = 1 and r = 1/2, or 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 +⋯, which converges to a sum of 2 (or 1 if the first term is excluded). The Achilles paradox is an example of the difficulty that ancient Greek mathematicians had with the idea that an infinite series could produce a finite sum. The confusion around infinity did not abate until the 18th century, when mathematicians developed analysis and the concept of limits.
Graphical illustration of an infinite geometric seriesClearly, the sum of the square's parts (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.) is 1 (square). Thus, it can be seen that 1 is the limit of this series—that is, the value to which the partial sums converge. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is equal to a(1 − rn)/(1 − r). If the absolute value of r is less than 1, the series converges to a/(1 − r). For any other value of r, the series diverges.

Love Under the Rainbow is finally here - St. Patrick’s Day movie.
Sophie created her project called; “Rainbows”, for her science project at school when her classmates take field trip to chasing rainbows.
Oh Yes, there is so much beauty, Sabrina, in a rainbow! What a glorious creation by God! I'm just like you - I always stop to look at them and take pictures, too! They are so beautiful! I have seen double ones, too! In fact, just last year, I caught a double rainbow just before it was fading away. When I look at them, I always feel a sense of awe, and I think of the promise God made to Noah in the Bible. The Rainbow was a sign that He would never flood the entire earth again, and it reminds me that God is good and faithful, and He will see us through any storm.
Thank you sharing your joy of rainbows, too!
Just beautiful, Net. When I see a rainbow I think of God's promise to Noah and am in awe of His might. I'm sure many don't know this, thanks for posting!!
Oh no, now the Hallmark website took this off the movies list, and it has no premiere date, also True Love Blooms has no premiere date either.
Yes, it looks like they are keeping March 9th as the premiere date for this movie!
Thanks for posting, Net! I am glad it is going to be shown.
I also love the cupcakes and hearts on the site! Too cute.
Hello Misty! It is so great to hear from You! Thank you for your comment on the movie and the new Valentine theme on my site! Glad you enjoyed all of this!
This was GREAT! Well written, well directed and wonderful actors! I totally adore this pairing! Such a sweet movie with great chemistry. Their awkwardness in the beginning when they kept running into each other cracked me up. Peter Benson's character is hilarious. The vow renewal scene was BEYOND sweet and got me all teared up. Jodie Sweetin and David Haydyn Jones were wonderful of course. LOVE their dialogues. Jodie has that natural girl-next-door type of feel, would love to see her in more Hallmark movies.
this was a GREAT movie !
please Hallmark, MORE Jodie Sweetin please !!!
What is the name of the song in the background when Jodie is looking at her memory book? It’s toward the end of the movie. Thanks for the help!

What is the one thing that almost never leaves your side?
The answer is rather common for everyone: Their mobile phone.
TRAI recently reported that India just crossed 1 billion mobile subscribers. What sounds like a massive milestone is viewed by experts as just the beginning of a dramatic change.
SMS (Short Messaging Service) is accessible to every single mobile subscriber, even those with the basic mobile phone or what we call a feature phone. SMS has been around for over two decades and as a result, consumers are already familiar with the service.
The average person touches his phone a staggering 2617 times a day, catapulting the open rate for SMS to a whopping 98%. What makes it even better is that every SMS is opened within 3 minutes of delivery.
With consumers getting more comfortable with accepting and responding to text messages from their preferred service providers and merchants, SMS marketing is emerging a powerful tool in the mobile marketing toolkit for businesses big and small.
Just like everything else, a good business text messaging campaign has to be a mix of great value and interesting content to hold the attention of the receiver.
Here are five intuitive ways in which customers can leverage the ease of use and reach of SMS marketing.
Every transaction with your customer can be used to strengthen the relationship with the customer. The simple act of sending them the status of their transaction with your business entity can increase engagement because it makes the customer feel part of the process at every step. This is especially true for services that involve multiple steps in the completion of a transaction – like an eCommerce delivery or a processing of a government service. Setting up automated SMS Reminder Software would help with an update of delivery status to customers is a cinch with our Transactional SMS services, suited for sending out status updates to customers in complete sync with the progress of the transaction.
Haptik, a platform that provides you with a personal assistant to remind you about daily chores and activities integrates their interactive application with Exotel’s business text messaging service (via our SMS API) to remind customers about upcoming meetings and appointments. A reminder message or a call are triggered to help customers keep up with their appointments.
Serious market research involves a lot of customer interaction. Traditional surveying methods like paper/ email or SurveyMonkey not only have long-winding questionnaires but also require multiple follow-ups. Administering these surveys to a large audience can be a time-consuming and tedious process. If you’d like a quick word from the customer on their opinion for a survey, SMS is your best tool.
An important role text messaging for businesses play for every customer-facing team is customer feedback. And timely feedback goes a long way in improving customer satisfaction as well because it paves way for immediate resolution.
Bulk text messaging opens up powerful options for businesses. Bulk messaging usually brings the image of annoying irrelevant messages filling up your inbox, which may alienate a customer. However, via careful segmentation of existing or potential customers, Bulk SMS can be a highly sophisticated tool to bring in awareness about business offers and promotions. Penetration is the highest with these services since even the non-tech-savvy segment is easily reachable through these services.
To know more about Exotel’s offers on Bulk SMS, see here.
Our transactional opt-in/opt-out service safeguards the privacy (number masking) of the receiver. Needless to say, the real-time monitoring of click rates helps businesses a great deal to modify their promotional messages according to the response they see.
Amnesty International, one of Exotel’s earliest clients uses Exotel’s automated Text reminder service to set up SMS with specific dates and timings. Business text messaging solicit actions to be taken by supporters, which helps maintain momentum and garner support for their initiatives, ultimately making them members of Amnesty International. Amnesty now has over 3 million people extending their support, all managed through Exotel’s IVR and SMS systems.
Note: These text messages can only be sent to non-DND numbers.
If your business requires people to show up for appointments or you need to keep them up-to-date on payment schedules- an SMS comes as the gentle, non-intrusive reminder during a busy day. Exotel’s SMS service makes it a cost-effective solution while keeping the conveyed message short and concise.
Practo, an online platform that connects millions of people to quality health care services uses Exotel’s SMS service to remind their customers of upcoming appointments. They also have an integrated SMS feedback survey that is administered immediately after a visit to the doctor, making it easy to validate the quality of healthcare service of the provider.
Care24, a care service provider based out of Mumbai works with Exotel’s easy-to-configure SMS service to cater to their services like daycare, caretakers for the elderly and home services like physiotherapist, clinical tests etc. They also send out Text reminders to their customers about the transaction and upcoming consultation.
If you need to remind your customers to either download, use, upgrade or reinstall your app, an SMS is a great way to skim at the top of your customer’s minds.
Mobikwik sends out several SMSs aiming at users to re-install the app and start using their services again.
Business text messaging or SMS marketing when used right can help you rally up a ton of customers to take action, whet your product or service and become customers for life. After all, doesn’t it fit perfectly into our mobile-themed world?

MIXACO in the Rubber Industry. High Throughput and Superlative Mixing Quality.
High mixing precision is absolutely essential when manufacturing elastomers. Mixing processes are often extremely complex due to the different material properties of individual ingredients. Analyses and trial runs are a solid basis for the implementation of recipes in the numerous applications required for industrial production, as this guarantees process safety and consistently high quality under the conditions later found in everyday manufacturing.
As vulcanized compounds, such as rubber or TPE, are required to possess certain application-specific properties, for example, resistance to ageing, flexibility at low temperatures, or specific hardness and elasticity values, mixtures and mixing processes must be very precisely defined. In one of our Innovation Centers, we work with our customers to develop custom-made solutions for superlative mixing quality. The aim is to achieve optimum homogenization of the components and prevent agglomeration.
If, for example, fillers such as carbon black or silica are not distributed properly, this can lead to faults in the mixture, which have a negative impact on the physical properties of the elastomer product. The right mixing process is also important when particularly temperature-sensitive materials such as zinc oxide, plasticizers or cross-linking chemicals are added to rubber powder. In the case of synthetic elastomers, the exact dosage of material and temperature are crucial.
Rubber production is a chain of discontinuous processes in which batches must be mixed rapidly and with a high throughput, so MIXACO mixers – designed to combine maximum efficiency and flexible handling – are ideal for the job. Our machines provide customized solutions for every application. For example, our mixers with liquid injection capability deliver perfect results for processing thermoplastic elastomers such as SEBS or SBS, making all workflows related to the overall mixing process significantly easier and faster.
MIXACO takes a holistic view of every mixture, from processing of the original ingredients right down to the finished product. When it comes to manufacturing elastomers, the focus is also on the entire production chain, which enables the precise definition of mixing processes and machine control parameters.
MIXACO has profound experience and knowledge of elastomer mixing. We are masters of all the common procedures and processes used in the rubber industry. If you still haven’t found the solution for a new idea, we will immediately help you to develop one.
TPE ‣ TPO ‣ Powdered rubber ‣ etc.
We supply mixing systems in a wide range of dimensions and batch sizes for the production of elastomers. As a leading supplier in this market, MIXACO delivers maximum efficiency, superlative mixing quality, optimum machine availability and a wealth of unique know-how for the complex individual requirements of the rubber industry.

Third place was 18th podium for Thierry Neuville.
Win was 43rd win and 92nd podium for Volkswagen.
Second place was 335th podium for Ford.
Third place was 19th podium for Hyundai.
Ogier started fastest in foggy conditions and despite worrying transmission noise kept his lead throughout the rally. This scored VW their fourth makes' title. Big news came few days after the rally as VW board decided to end their WRC involvement, sending shock waves around WRC community.
Fastest Ford in the rally was Ott Tanak, who proved that car still has speed if it's driven properly. His charge was hampered by a puncture and slippery conditions but performance was very impressive all in all.
Once again Neuville and Paddon locked horns in showdown between team-mates and once again Neuville was able to come out on top. His performance towards the end of the season has seen him tighten the grip on runner-up position in championship race.
Citroen and Meeke had disappointing rally, suffering overly much from slippery conditions and lack of traction. Kris didn't challenge for top honours and was happy just to finish while team-mate Breen rolled and couldn't restart due to extensive damage.

As a B2B business, integrating your eCommerce platform with your business systems can lead to many benefits. Providing better customer service, having a greater understanding of customers’ wants and needs, and marketing more efficiently are just a few of the possible perks that result from integrating eCommerce with ERP and CRM software. B2B eCommerce continues to trend toward providing a customer experience on par with B2C, however, the underlying business need for moderate to extensive customization in B2B means that these platforms require significant attention to customer experience throughout. Before being able to reap the customer experience rewards of integration, your business may face a few issues and growing pains when attempting to integrate. Below are few challenges that a business to business company faces when trying to integrate its business systems with eCommerce.
One of the many reasons that B2B companies put off integrating their eCommerce platform with the business systems is the high upfront costs. Hiring a development company to complete the integration can cost a significant amount depending on how complex the integration needs are and how many pieces of software need to be integrated with your eCommerce. You may also need to purchase a different eCommerce platform or type of software in order to get the integration as tight as you want it, which could be another hefty expense. Finally training your I.T. department and employees that have to use to new systems all factor into the costs of integrating eCommerce and business systems.
As I mentioned before, your B2B business may find the need to purchase a new eCommerce platform or ERP or CRM software. Some B2B businesses chose to only invest in and develop simple eCommerce sites when they were first testing the waters of selling online. Those simple sites are usually built with eCommerce platforms that aren’t able to handle custom integrations. When this happens, it sometimes warrants the need for a more robust platform to be put in place. This can seem like another daunting challenge but keep in mind that your eCommerce platform can greatly affect how well the integration works and not upgrading can hold your business back. One of the motives for integrating is to grow the business, and many platforms are simply not capable of scaling up as needed. There is an upfront cost, but it is an investment that can have a huge ROI.
One of the most difficult tasks before beginning an integration for many B2B businesses is trying to get everyone on board. Besides being opposed to the upfront costs of an integration, some top level executives and employees may be resistant to changing the business model that they have used for so long. Stakeholders need to understand that the integration is a tool to help the business grow and operate more efficiently. Everyone needs to be on the same page and understand the need, how it can be used to benefit their department, who will be in charge of it, and how much it will cost, to avoid any surprises or misunderstandings.
Once every team is on board, the next step is planning the implementation in order to maximize the benefit to customer experience. B2B companies in particular tend to require robust customization efforts. You are likely to need a customized checkout, for instance if you tend to process large payments automating the process can be cumbersome. Customer specific quote or pricing functions can require human estimations that mean a need for custom workflows. Customer accounts might need custom roles assigned to individual users so that workflows can be established for the purchasing process. While these are extreme examples, they highlight the needs that can arise in providing a great customer experience in B2B eCommerce. Even if you have a strong I.T. department, it is best to find a development company to take on such a large and complex task. Finding a seasoned web development firm that has plenty of experience handling integrations saves your B2B business a great deal of time and money in the long run.
Clarity has worked with numerous B2B eCommerce businesses that needed to integrate their existing systems with their eCommerce platform. Our team of experts listened to their questions and concerns, helped determine exactly what kind of integrations they needed, and created a custom solution to help them achieve business efficiency and customer satisfaction. And our experienced professionals aren’t our only strength, Clarity has built highly robust technology too. Our middleware platform, Clarity Connect, can help connect virtually any business system with your eCommerce platform while our eCommerce platform, Clarity eCommerce, can be used by both B2C and B2B businesses.

Selecting the right cosmetic dentist is crucial to achieving the results you desire. Keep in mind that cosmetic dentistry is not an officially recognized specialty within dentistry; so any dentist can legally refer to themselves as a cosmetic dentist. While every dentist is taught how to do various procedures within the realm of cosmetic dentistry, the ability to achieve a high level of expertise requires widespread study and training, which can take many years. So you need to choose the best cosmetic dentist using the following guidelines.
If any friends or members of your family have had good cosmetic dental treatment, ask them for a referral. You can then check out the doctor’s website, talk to the office, or even go in for an introductory consultation. You can also ask other dental professionals you know about whom they would recommend.
Even if a particular dentist comes highly recommended and shows you beautiful photographs, you will want to make sure he or she is qualified. Check online to see where your prospective cosmetic dentists went to school, what continuing education courses were completed, and what professional organizations they belong to. You should not hesitate to ask your dentist questions about their training and experience in cosmetic dentistry.
It’s important to determine what you want to change about your smile before you have your first consultation with a cosmetic dentist. Take a good look and compile a list. That way, when you do choose your cosmetic dentist, you will be ready to present your wish list and compare it to the dentist’s own proposals.
A person’s own insight of what looks good is a significant factor in achieving satisfying results when it comes to smile improvement. With their professionally trained and experienced eye, your dentist will actually see more dental options than you do. It is therefore his or her responsibility to educate you so that you’re better able to make your own personal choices. At the same time, you must have confidence and trust that your dentist hears what you’re saying about what you want to look like.
Dentists interested in modern procedures often have advanced technology such as digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, chair side monitors, and dental lasers. Ask your cosmetic dentist about the technology in his or her office. You may also want to find out what kind of anesthesia or sedation they offer.
How do you feel in the dentist’s office? Is the staff friendly? Do you feel like you can ask questions, and do you like the answers you receive? Trust your instincts. Ask around. In the end, it is a decision that you must make for yourself. Above all, make sure you get a good feeling from your cosmetic dentist. If you don’t feel comfortable with the first dentist you meet, find another. Take your time to find the best cosmetic dentist for you.

What does an Otter mean as a Spirit Animal?
The otter spirit animal is one of the animal totems. Also, like many other animal totems, the otter totem serves to remind us of the connection that we have with the divine world. It also gives us a chance to compare ourselves with the otter and emulate all its radiant traits. The otter is one animal that lacks any sense of negativity in their lives, so they make the best kind of spirit animal.
Therefore, the otter animal is one of the spirit animals that can bring one closer to the divine world as possible. This is because they represent the best image humanity could ever possess. So, one should take a keen interest in the otter totem symbols to harness the best kind of energy that this radiant animal can bear.
The otter stays mostly in the water and comes out from time to time to bask in the sun and enjoy some peace of mind. They are playful and quite funny too. Also, there are two species of the otter family, one of them takes to the seas while the other is a river animal. The otters have a rich history ranging from the ancient Native American Zodiac Astrology and Celtic cultures. They also had the opportunity to serve as symbolic animals to them.
What does an otter symbolize? The otter totem means one should be able to give themselves a sense of freedom and time away from day to day bustle of life. One can take a vacation to help clear their mind, rejuvenate and take care of themselves. Although one has been taking care of other people, they should take a break from if it and focus on their time. Alternatively, the otter serves to remind us that we can go after our old flames with childish behaviors. We can be sure to win them over because we have the backing of the divine world with us.
What does an otter mean spiritually? The otter people are always glad to see other people happy in life. They will enjoy it when people are surrounding them make it in life. Also, they have the norm of ever giving a helping hand to other people. They otter people are never selfish but selfless with a beaming sense of generosity beyond other peoples understanding.
Furthermore, the otter people are never by any chance the kind of people who hold grudges against anyone. They dislike the notion of bringing other people down especially through gossip. Therefore, the otter people are generally the best kind of support system that one can wish.
Also, they are usually beaming with life, and they find the light side of everything. They also have a great deal of curiosity and are willing to venture into new ideas. They never put up their guard against new people in their lives and are never suspicious of them either.
Also, the otter people have the sense to appreciate the comfort of their homes and will stay in one place for a long time. Plus, they also do well in showing their feelings of joy, love, and appreciation. They are the kind of people who never aggressively respond to anger. Moreover, they prefer to handle matters calmly without violence. They also usually have time to take care of themselves thus making them self-sufficient.
Otter Totem Traits – What is an otter personality?
The otter people have a niche for the inquisition. It is one of their positive qualities because they always have the best intentions for everyone. They have a great deal of knowledge because they are still learning new things from the inquisitive nature. They are the kind of people who like living with the satisfaction of knowing many facts about everything around them.
The otter people have the highest sense of loyalty that one can ever hope. They will stick by your side and help you through the toughest of times. Therefore, they also make the best kind of relationship partners. Since they also know a lot, they will also offer counsel on how to go about each situation. However, if they are by your side and you are drowning, they would likely sink with you then leave you alone.
What do otters symbolize in dreams? The divine world also uses the otter to send us messages of guidance. They in their wisdom send the words in the form of dreams and visions. Therefore, we need to use our knowledge to make interpretations of the concepts and apply them in our real lives. However, one should take great care not to misinterpret the dream because the results can be catastrophic.
So, if one sees the otter in their dream, it means that there is an excellent sense of bountiful happiness in their lives or future. It also says that one is going to have a possible amount of great wealth. The otter dream, moreover, serves to remind us of the possibility of strength that we have to handle our emotions without breaking. The dream may also mean that one shall be having a fun time with their loved ones soon.
The otter spirit animal makes for the best of the kind of symbol. The otter people are blessed because they have a totem. And always ensures that they are happy in life regardless of the situation. Also, the otter people tend to make the best of friends because they still have the interest of other people at heart. They are also loyal and quite resourceful from their inquisitive nature. The otter dream also serves as a connection between the otter people and the divine world through their animal spirit.

Get ready for a new church directory, FBC! It’s been about three years since our last directory update and do you know what has changed? A lot! There are new babies to include, hairstyles to sport, and different contact information to share. It’s time for a new directory.
Why do we have a church directory and why should you be a part of it? A church directory is a significant way for us to stay connected and encourage each other in the faith. It’s a way of saying to one another, “I’m an FBCer! I’m a part of this church family.” By being included in the church directory we make ourselves available to our FBC family to be a loving presence to others. Let me touch on some very important information you will want to know about the coming directory update.
Primarily Online – We are making an important, strategic decision with this directory update: it’s going to be primarily online. Let me outline how this will make some big differences.
You will be able to access our church directory online via your personal device with an app or on your computer.
You will be the one who updates your personal information. You get to pick your family picture, primary phone number and anything else you’d like your church family to know. The church office can update this information for you; you will simply need to make sure you get all your information to us.
There will be no need to wait for a new directory. This directory will always be as new and updated as we all make it by adding our new information.
Access and Privacy – You will have access to the link for the online directory two ways. First, you will be given a link to the directory in an upcoming email. Secondly, we will have a link to the directory on our website. So, if you forget the URL, you can always go to the church website to access the directory.
This directory will be password protected and completely private to the FBC family. The general public will not have access to any of your information. And your church family will only have access to the general contact information you provide. Online privacy and security is very important in our world today and you can have complete confidence that everything will be kept secure and private.
Printed Version – We are well aware many of you do not use online tools on a regular basis and would prefer having a printed copy. We are happy to assist you in this way. Here’s information you will want to know about a printed version of the directory.
The printed version will simply be on regular paper printed in our church office. It won’t be spiral bound or on glossy print.
To cover the cost of printing and paper, we’re charging $5 for a printed copy of the directory.
We want to give the FBC family 1 full month to update their information so that the printed copies are as up to date as possible. The church office will begin printing these directories on May 6. So, make sure to update your information prior to this date so your most recent info is in the printed versions.
How to be included – If you are currently a part of our church family by being a member, by having a church mailbox, by being a part of our flash email list, you will be included in the directory unless you indicate otherwise. The initial information that will be displayed in the directory is what we currently have on record so make sure to update your info.
We know many of you are new to FBC. If you’ve made FBC your home church and would like to be included in the directory, please let us know by filling out a communication card and selecting the “I’d like to make FBC my home church” box. We will include you in the directory if you do.
We will be sending you all an email at the end of the week for you to begin updating your information and viewing the directory. If you do not get an email, it’s probably because we don’t have current information or don’t know you want to be a part of it; simply contact the church office. If you do not use online tools, contact the church office so we can do it for you.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We want to assist you. In the meantime, pray for your church family and thank God for your brothers and sisters in Christ.

We help you climb better and have you riding faster in less than four weeks so you can be your best at your next bunch ride, recreational event or race.
You’ll find that you’ll get much better performance gains on the bike than you have ever done in the past, with the same amount of training time.
Get real improvements in your FTP from the time you invest in your training instead of just keeping busy doing hit or miss training that may or may not be helping you.
With improved power and overall pedal efficiency, it’s going to make a huge difference to your performance on the bike.
We have been working with leading strength and conditioning trainers since 2006. No other strength training program comes close to its depth.
Whatever level you are riding at right now, you can take advantage of our experience, giving you hours of previously wasted training time back as well as quickly getting improvements with your cycling performance.
It’s not just training programs, we provide training resources that include indoor training videos that help you with your pedalling efficiency and off-the-bike strength training to help you get stronger and faster, quicker.
Most training platforms just deliver a training program and leave you to figure it out yourself. Not with us. We provide you with coaching support and valuable data analysis to make sure you’re are on track.
Select your training program. If you need help, just ask one of our friendly coaches.
Start your training program get support from your coach and our online community.
Get ready to get a personal best at your next bunch ride, event or race.
Training needs to not only be efficient but effective as well. We make sure that you are placed on the training program that’s right for you so you aren’t wasting your time doing ineffective training that’s not helping you improve your overall FTP.
“Power to weight ratio” or as it’s sometimes referred to as a rider’s “watts per kilogram” is critical to your climbing success. We help you improve your power output so that you get dramatic improvements with your hill climbing times.
Starting with an FTP of 200 watts and a climbing time of 32 minutes and 58 seconds.
Same rider but an increased FTP of 250 watts, gives a climbing time of 27 minutes and 23 seconds.
I rode my “fitness test” hill (14km @ 400M elevation) last week in my fastest time in the last 4 years….so progress is being made.
Hi David, Just wanted to say thank you. My goal this year was to break 12 mins in climbing Mt. Coot-tha in Brisbane. I started the year at 14:50 mins and no matter what I did, I could not get much better than that. I joined up to your training plan in June and at that time was down to 14:39mins. I started with the HillClimber I program and immediately saw the results. I completed that 12 weeks and then went into Hill climber II. Each week my times up the hill were getting faster and I was feeling a lot stronger. I am now on week 11 on Hill climber II and I not only reached the 12 min goal, but I also reached a personal best of 11:50mins. I am now looking to see if I can crack 11 mins! Thank you for your great programs. All the best, Mark.
10 minutes off my Ventoux climb time from 3 years ago. 2 best Gran Fondo performances ever on back to back Sundays. Excited to keep going!
Cycling is just like swimming – it’s all about developing an efficient technique. You power the bike a pedal stroke at a time. Right? We help you improve the efficiency and amount of power that you are able to produce which will make a huge difference to your cycling performance.
Greg from NSW, Australia got this improvement with his pedalling efficiency within 12 weeks.
Hi David, Just watched your hill climbing video and learned why I have aching muscles, because of your “easy” 084 climbing training programs! Appears I had not been engaging my gluteus or locking my core previously so now those muscles are really sore and aching (thus improving). Feel like Karate Kid wondering why I was painting the fence “why am I doing these easy training sessions” ha, now know why. Onwards and upwards. Tony.
I have been practicing to pedal in circles which I know I haven’t been doing consistently prior to starting your programme and it’s making a huge difference. I am feeling very happy as my riding has improved already.
If you aren’t getting the results you want, then don’t blame yourself, or your equipment (or lack of it), focus on the training you are doing. It’s the training that you are doing that will determine how well you ride.
When we start talking about doing the right type of training, it sometimes conjures up thoughts of being a demanding process and that you’ll need to spend a heap more time training. But this is just a common misconception among many athletes, including cyclists.
When you start doing the right training, you quickly unlock your true cycling potential. And… the frustration that you had in the past about your performance disappears as everything becomes easier.
Because we have spent the last ten years tuning our training programs specifically for cyclists like you, you’ll find that you’ll use the limited time that you have to train more efficiently so you quickly become more awesome on the bike. So, take a moment to consider the cost of continuing to do the training you are doing, knowing that you could be training much better.
I have been using a lot of your indoor training sessions every week due to rain, road closures or simply not enough time to get on the road! I love the hill climbing ones you have! I have just signed up for the hill climber two and will complete that and then finish with the touring program leading to when we take off to Europe for the tour in June. So everything is good here, your programs are great, love the indoor training videos!
The main improvement I am seeing is in my time management. I believe I am getting similar results with less effort which is really nice, this has been achieved by not having to think about what I need to do each ride. Using your weekly schedules is taking a lot of the indecision out of the equation. The information you provide also points out to me the importance of rest.
I’m definitely improving each week. Never thought I would achieve so much in such a short period! Thank you so much for your program and support along the way!
Whatever level you are riding at right now, you can take advantage of our experience, giving you hours of previously wasted training time back as well as quickly getting improvements with your cycling performance. We have over sixty-one discipline and event specific training programs to help you beat your best at your next cycling event. Your training program is delivered to you weekly via your online training centre, or through your Training Peaks account.
Many of our cyclists are training for much of the year. Unlike super high intensity short “crash dieting” programs, our training programs are built to be highly sustainable.
Because of our unique ‘Base, Strength and Speed’ training methodology, you can build your fitness month on month, year on year without ever being a victim to your training or risk burning yourself out.
Unlike the traditional theory of periodization training, we break your training cycles up into consecutive mesocycle-blocks. This technique has been fully developed and enhanced from the success of prolonged studies with our clients since 2007.
We understand that you have your own personal training preferences. That’s why we keep it flexible! You have the option to choose whether you want to train on a home trainer, just be out on the road, or an even blend of the two.
Because our methodology is based on core fundamentals, you can freely use a cadence meter and perceived effort, a heart rate monitor, or a power meter. Your choice.
We understand that you’re not a full time pro-cyclist and have to fit all your training around your work and life commitments. We provide super efficient, sustainable training programs that get results, even when you’re always on-the-go.
Eight weeks in and I see so much improvement. My first race is March 2nd. It a fat tire 25-mile race. Looking to see how much I improved since last year. Thanks for your program and making it affordable to people like me. Dan Hughes.
Thanks so much for the program. I have to say – with all the business travel, and holidays etc…I am really proud of how consistent I have been. And it has shown in my outdoor group rides on the weekends. I have been, for the most part, keeping pace with the A group – previously unheard of. THANK YOU!
David, I noticed I had made an improvement in a really short time but what really proved it was my friends also noticed.
We provide training resources that include indoor training videos to help you with your pedalling efficiency and off-the-bike strength training.
Time efficient indoor training video workouts that teach you how to improve your pedalling technique while also developing your aerobic fitness, cycling strength, and speed.
All of our training videos show how to improve pedalling techniques to make it super-efficient. This will help you ride more effectively for longer, with less fatigue and greater comfort.
We provide training files for all our indoor training sessions so you can do them on Zwift, TrainerRoad or your Garmin or Wahoo Element. Our indoor training will work for you whatever your training platform or standard or smart trainer.
Our indoor training sessions can be taken out on the road with our detailed timing sheets and training files that work with your Garmin or Wahoo bike computer.
Loving the workouts so far. What I’ve found is it alternates between hard and easy days with longer rides back to back on weekend so I feel fresher than with my previous training and have plenty in the tank to push the hard efforts. Kind regards, Mike Pagels.
You can only generate as much power as you can stabilize. We have been working with leading strength and conditioning trainers since 2006. Your off the bike strength program has been tuned by professional cyclists racing at state, national and international level competition, as well as recreational riders partaking in events around the globe. No other strength training program comes close to its depth.
It’s these super-effective “secret” core strength and conditioning workouts that underpin our training programs and take the guesswork out of your ‘off the bike’ strength training.
No expensive gym equipment, membership or personal trainer needed. You can do all of these exercises in the comfort of your own home.
A total of 15 minutes, three times a week is all you need to get a stronger cycling core. This can help you pull hard turns on the front of your bunch, climb faster and sprint even harder.
Love the Strength training, the mobilisers and the Functional strength exercises as can feel stronger in the back only after a weeks training.
Holy crap I feel my power building! I’ll do some mobilizers after weights tonight and recover tomorrow. Matt rocks. Love him! Glad to be back!

To ensure that you use the limited time you have to train effectively and efficiently, we provide on-demand data analysis using Training Peaks – which is the gold standard in analysing your cycling data.
I am finding that each time I reflect where I am compared to what I had been doing in the past, I shake my head in disbelief that I hadn’t taken this road sooner.
Am now a few weeks in to the Road Race program and had the opportunity to pick up a 3 race license and test myself in my first ever club races this week. Started my week setting a new 20min power PB on my training ride, then raced C grade at the Caulfield Carnegie Anzac Day Classic on Wednesday, followed by the Southern Masters in Drouin on Sunday. Finished comfortably in the bunch at Sandown, then placed 2nd on Sunday. Big week of riding but feeling strong, and the training gave me the confidence to have a crack at the racing.
I must say that I’ve always been drawn back to your site after purchasing a few of your videos and finding them really helpful and noticing some good improvement. It’s easy to see why you’re a very successful coach just in the level of detail you go into, and also your ability to always look at the bigger picture. I think your training programs are uniquely placed to train for the one off iconic Sportives we have in the UK. I’ve always found it so hard to get a really focused training plan to take on these really tough and challenging Sportives and I think that is what draws me to your training plans.
I'm a racing cyclist, will this work for me?
I'm a recreational rider, will this work for me?
What sort of improvement will I see with my FTP?
It will vary depending on where you are at with your riding and how much available time you have to train. Most of our clients see an improvement of between 20 to 50 watts over 6 months.
Is there a limit on the amount of email correspondence I can send you?
Do I need a power meters to do this training?
Because our methodology is based on core fundamental cycle training that gets results, the technology we use doesn’t change the way we train you, only the way we measure your performance. You can use a cadence meter and perceived effort, a heart rate monitor or a power meter. It’s your choice. Our training system will work with them all.
What's the minimum equipment requirement to do this program?
You just need a cadence meter on your bike, an internet connection and a computer or mobile device.
Is this program completely home trainer based?
No. We understand that you are unique and have your own personal training preferences. We keep it flexible so you can choose whether you want to train just on a home trainer or just out on the road or a blend of the two. Hate indoor trainers or don’t have one? Don’t worry, you can take all your indoor training sessions out on the road with our detailed timing sheets and training files that work with your Garmin or Wahoo bike computers while you’re outdoors.
Do I need Zwift, TrainerRoad or a smart trainer to use this program?
No, you don’t. While we interface to these platforms and all smart trainers, you don’t need them to start. We have recorded videos for all the indoor training sessions so you can ride along to them on a standard trainer.
Do I need a Training Peaks account?
No, you don’t. Training programs can be delivered to you weekly via our online training centre. But if you want your cycling data analysed then we use Training Peaks to do it.
Do I need to pay for my Training Peaks account?
You don’t need a paid Training Peaks account. We can load your program up into your Training Peaks account and analysis your data with a free Training Peaks account. Full information on getting is set up is provided and it’s a simple twostep process.
Do I need to go to a gym to do the strength training?
The strength training can be done at home with basic equipment.
What is the difference between this coaching membership and the Leaner Cyclist?
This coaching service provides everything mentioned above but doesn’t include the Leaner Cyclist Program. The Leaner Cyclist Program is a separate product that includes three months of access to our coaching service (which is everything mentioned above), plus, the six Leaner Cyclist core modules (including three specific 12 week Leaner Cyclist training plans), the Leaner Cyclist eating plans and recipes and access to our private Leaner Cyclist Facebook page.
If I purchased this do I get the Learner Cyclist Program as well?
No, the Leaner Cyclist Program is not included in with this coaching membership. If you have a active coaching membership with us you can purchase the Leaner Cyclist as an add-on.
I received 2 awards from my club on Friday nite; most improved rider and best overall rider 2018. Thanks coach.
I’ve been a Cycling-Inform member these past few months – the tips, posts, videos etc that you’ve been posting have been great. I’ve been building up off a low base for Peaks Challenge Falls Creek and now feel a whole lot more prepared. I’m in my late 50s so probably an 11hr time is about right for me. The tips you had on descending were super useful – made a big difference immediately.
I drove back from Bright yesterday after having completed the 7 Peaks Challenge. I surprised even myself, particularly how strong I felt on Baw Baw, Lake Mountain, Falls and Buffalo. I was stronger than previous years, second best time up Hotham. I bettered Falls by about 4 minutes and smashed my Buffalo time by about 10 minutes. So, thank you for giving me the tools for becoming and continuing to be a leaner cyclist. My next challenge is the Clare Classic.
Try our coaching and if you decide, for whatever reason, that it’s not for you then just let us know within 30 days of signing up and we’ll give you your money back in full, no questions asked.

On our previous visit we had cleared vegetation to allow in more light, now the regrowth, in particular that of the willow, was again shading this small seasonal pond.
An activity not to be encouraged (or repeated)!
Much of the cut material was used to create a simple dead hedge along the site's boundary with the adjacent field.
By lunch the task was complete.
It had been the intention to spend the afternoon pollarding the willow at the nearby Castle End Road Pond but it was soon obvious that following the recent rain the depth of water was such that wellingtons would not be sufficient. It was therefore decided to abandon this task at least until the autumn - generally considered the best time of year for pond work.


text: The use of nuclear reactors in space, seabed or other Earth hostile environment in the future is a vision that some Brazilian nuclear researchers share. Currently, the USA, a leader in space exploration, has as long-term objectives the establishment of a permanent Moon base and to launch a manned mission to Mars. A nuclear micro-reactor is the power source chosen to provide energy for life support, electricity for systems, in these missions. A strategy to develop an advanced micro-reactor technologies may consider the current fast reactor technologies as back-up and the development of advanced fuel, structural and coolant materials. The next generation reactors (GEN-IV) for terrestrial applications will operate with high output temperature to allow advanced conversion cycle, such as Brayton, and hydrogen production, among others. The development of an advanced fast micro-reactor may create a synergy between the GEN-IV and space reactor technologies. Considering a set of basic requirements and materials properties this paper discusses the choice of advanced fuel, structural and coolant materials for a fast micro-reactor. The chosen candidate materials are: nitride, oxide as back-up, for fuel, lead, tin and gallium for coolant, ferritic MA-ODS and Mo alloys for core structures. The next step will be the neutronic and burnup evaluation of core concepts with this set of materials.

Philadelphia - Service animals and pets accompanying travelers at Philadelphia International Airport can now use seven specially designed relief areas located on the Departures Road and outside the baggage claim buildings. The Pet Port areas were created to provide appropriate facilities for service animals traveling with special needs passengers as well as pets and Airport security canines.
"The addition of the Pet Port areas was recommended by the Airport's Americans with Disabilities Act Review Committee as a service to our passengers," said Charles Isdell, Director of Aviation.
Philadelphia International Airport is owned and operated by the City of Philadelphia. The Airport is a self-sustaining entity that operates without the use of local tax dollars. It is one of the largest economic engines in Pennsylvania, generating an estimated $14 billion in spending to the regional economy and employing a workforce of nearly 42,000.

In mid 2016, OII Australia made a submission to the United Nations Committee against Torture documenting human rights violations against intersex people in Australia. Since around that date, the Department of Health and Human Services in Victoria has systematically removed evidence of human rights violations, including psychosocial justifications for surgeries such as “marriage” prospects, and statements that the birth of an intersex infant is distressing for parents and staff, leading to early surgeries.
We, and the United Nations, and multiple other human rights institutions, regard such so-called “corrective” practices as human rights violations.
The text about marriage was removed in mid 2016. The document is still dated February 2013 with no acknowledgement of an update. A quotation of the original can be found in the October 2013 Senate report on the involuntary or coerced sterilisation of intersex people in Australia, in paragraph 5.4.
The document making these statements is dated 16 October 2015.
Because OII Australia has documented these materials previously, and widely published and spoken about our concerns with them, this raises epistemological and ethical issues. By retaining previous dates of revision, the Department is denying the existence of the previous content. By not changing the revision dates, the Department suggests that our words and documentation cannot be trusted. This delegitimises the reporting of human rights violations. This is a form of gaslighting.
Further, removing the documentation of a policy or practice does not mean that the policy or practice has ceased. It just makes it harder to document such practices.
We welcome honest, properly documented and evidenced changes to clinical practices to recognise the human rights of infants, children and adolescents with intersex variations.
UPDATE: We understand that the immediate document control issue may now be in hand as a result of our reporting. However, these interim updates have occurred outside usual procedures, illustrating haste, and a sense of embarrassment at the human rights violations that OII Australia has documented and reported in submissions, conferences and meetings. We repeat, these optical changes occur without evidence of any change in practice.

Austrian Economics is the most powerful explanation of why governments, no matter how well-intentioned, lack the knowledge, wisdom and ability to direct the lives of multitudes of people better than those people can do for themselves. In this series of easy-to-understand lectures, economist Richard Ebeling introduces you to the central ideas in Austrian Economics, as well as their importance for us today. Richard is the BB&T Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Free Enterprise at The Citadel, former president of The Foundation for Economic Education, and the former Ludwig von Mises Professor of Economics at Hillsdale College where he also served as head of the economics department. Launched in conjunction with a new ebook entitled Austrian Economics & Public Policy at Amazon.com , this lectures series why and how it is that all these attempts at government social engineering have failed and often with disastrous consequences.

In 1878, H.M. High Commissioner for Southern Africa and the Lieut. General Commanding H.M. Forces, clandestinely conspired to invade the Zulu Kingdom. Drastically underestimating their foe, within days of entering the Zulu Kingdom the invaders had been vanquished in one of the greatest disasters ever to befall a British army.
The author not only dramatically describes the events leading up to the Battle of Isandlwana , and the battle itself but, with new evidence, disputes many aspects of the campaign long held sacrosanct.

Meet Yesha Ministries' Oldest Black Belt, Robert Johnston. Robert was born on August 7, 1945, at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. He started public school in Jacksonville but at the age of 15, he and his family moved to New Orleans where he would complete his schooling in 1963.
After graduation, he would go on to join the United States Navy visiting a variety of places like San Diego, Pensacola, Guam, and serving on notable ships such as the USS Bennington. Robert would move back to his hometown of Jacksonville in 1969 and work with an insurance company in the years following.
After taking guardianship of his grandson, Robert wanted to get him (6 years old at the time) involved in an activity and chose TaeKwonDo.
In 2011 at the age of 65, Robert would make his debut with Yesha accompanied by his grandson. After a year of attending, his grandson decided to stop but Robert kept going.
" I was impressed with the organization," said Johnston. He would go on to attend his first yellow belt test later that year and by 2016 has proudly evolved to become a 2nd Dan.
In 2017 Tragedy struck as Robert's wife was diagnosed with dementia and In February of 2017, Robert himself was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Robert was dealt two very big blows this year but he hasn't let that slow him down.
Robert is 72, is in top shape and he gives credit to the obvious physical attributes of working with Yesha, but more importantly the mental and spiritual strength to push through his chemo, fight through his cancer, and help his wife through her struggle.
“I am going through a trial, but I know the Lord is a rock upon which I stand.” Robert shared how he feels that he was brought to Yesha for a reason and Yesha as an organization has helped him in his spiritual journey with the Lord and through the hurdles he is facing in his life currently.
Yesha Ministries was started with humble beginnings back in 1983. The ministry focuses on the physical, mental, and spiritual training of its individuals through sanctioned martial arts.

You are someone that has shown an inkling towards the game of soccer, and to better enjoy the game more you want to learn some new tricks. Soccer is great fun, but you do need to work hard to do great tricks. Soccer is for everyone and this article will show you excellent tips to help you enjoy the game even more.
TIP! You should choose your cleats in function of your level. If you are a beginner, you should purchase synthetic cleats.
Kick the soccer ball with the inside of your foot for the greatest accuracy in short passing. Long passes are best made with your foot at the front. By using this kicking approach, it will generate greater power which will enable the ball to move a longer distance.
As with any great sport, keep your eyes on the soccer ball always. This is a fast-paced game and the ball could go from one person to another quite quickly. If you don’t know where the ball is, it increases the likelihood of the other team scoring a goal.
You can throw off an opponent by dribbling opposite of the direction you are headed in. The defender will pursue and you can get them discombobulated by quickly changing what you’re doing and going in an entirely new direction. This can be useful in getting away from defenders.
Set your pattern by sending the ball in a similar direction for a couple of plays. The opponent will take notice of the pattern and expect the same move a third or fourth time. Then, you can surprise them by not doing it.
Soccer is a sport played by a team. Bear this in mind always. Playing in an effort to become a superstar at the expense of your team will certainly backfire on you. Keep the goal of the entire team in mind in order to ensure success. Your team will be successful if you sacrifice personal recognition for the sake of the team.
If you want to increase your stamina, do long distance runs during the off season. Soccer players run many miles during an average soccer game; estimates are that 8-10 miles are the average. When you have great stamina, you will never tire out.
TIP! In soccer, your success as a player is dependent upon your team’s success. This is important to remember.
When you’re placed in the middle area of a soccer field, take some time to look to either end and watch what is going on. In this position you should be aware that the ball can come to you from one area and you must quickly get it to the opposite side. You have to know where every player is.
Communication is very important in soccer. Talking to your teammates on the field during the game can help you all to work together as a team. Professional soccer players know that team communication is key, and they use it to help win games.
If you’re going to become good at soccer, you must keep fit. The game won’t be easy if you gain too much weight. Watch what type of food and how much of it you eat, and follow a diet that is healthy.
Practice with players that are more experienced. You will improve your skills by stretching your abilities. Learn everything you can by asking these players questions. Many will help because they’re used to working as a part of a team. If you can’t find experienced players, scout local games and inquire whether players want to mentor you.
TIP! You need to utilize all foot surfaces during a game of soccer. When you are not dribbling fast, you’ll probably be using either the instep or front of your foot.
While football is a bit more physical than soccer, soccer is still a pretty physical game. Don’t be scared to run into other players. Being physical doesn’t mean you’re playing wrong. Purposefully kicking another player is a foul, but some incidental roughness is nothing to worry about. If physicality frightens you, you have to try to get over that. Just make sure your legs are protected by proper soccer pads.
You should apply these methods to become a better soccer player. There are always concepts to learn, so keep this attitude in mind. Keep practicing, and before long you will become a much better player.


text: As we all know, wrestlers very rarely ever retire. There are always comeback matches, comeback tours, helping out an old friend, "exhibition matches," and many others reasons that wrestlers that said they are retired make another appearance in the squared circle. This list is either for wrestlers that have announced their retirement and for wrestlers that have been inactive for so long that their retirement is assumed. A wrestler won't come off this list if they make an appearance here and there, but only if they actively return to professional wrestling.

This article was originally published on Sojourners, on February 19, 2019.
Two days after a brutal workplace shooting in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, where five were killed and six were injured, over 1,000 people joined together for a prayer vigil at the Henry Pratt Company plant, filling the street near the building where the shooting occurred. As several local pastors shared prayers with the huge gathering of mourners, the only sounds that broke the silence between prayers were quiet sobs. Beside a gate connected to the plant, people placed flowers, candles, and signs.
As I quietly joined the prayers that local clergy were offering, I was reminded of what matters most to those suffering in the wake of mass trauma.
1. God draws near to the brokenhearted. When Rev. Dan Hass began the service, he echoed the words of the Psalmist, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). He reminded those present of God’s steadfast faithful love that is poured out in a particular way on those who have endured suffering. In the wake of crises, people often struggle to make sense of God’s presence or absence in the midst of chaos. Scripture confirms that God is near.
2. Strength is found in community. The jarring impact of a disaster — both the ones we see coming and the kind we never dreamed of — is isolation. This is most obvious when a sufferer loses a loved one or spouse, as was the case in this senseless tragedy. But it is no less true when a community shares the same loss. Yet, when communities come together to name and grieve a shared loss, the whole community is strengthened. Even online communities can help individuals as they grieve. Joining with like-minded people through causes such as Prayers & Action — and by signing the Prayers & Action petition — unites people from all walks of life with the mission of praying to end senseless acts of gun violence in America.
3. Lament is required. For people of faith, when tragedy strikes it can be tempting to rush past the confusion, pain, and loss in an attempt to assure ourselves and others that God has a plan. And while I believe in, and have personally experienced, God’s redemption in the midst of suffering, the reality is that for thorough and authentic healing, people need space to lament. It happened in Aurora, as a community lamented lives that had been cut short too early, grieving for the gifts of those lost that would never be shared with the world. It can happen in churches across the country on Sunday morning. The Bible bears witness to the importance of lament, for individuals and for communities, after disasters.
4. Violence requires a non-violent response. When life is lost so senselessly, it is natural to want to retaliate. Yet, several of the pastors reminded those in attendance that forgiveness is what is needed. When Jesus invited his followers to embrace a standard more radical than the prevailing law of “an eye for an eye,” he was recognizing our natural human temptation to respond to violence with violence. In a violence-plagued nation, we can see that violent responses to violence are futile. When the cruelest atrocities are met with moral integrity and spiritual faithfulness, there is hope for healing.
5. The identity of victims. It was once most common, in the wake of unforeseen tragedies like the Aurora shooting, for news outlets to produce the most coverage of the perpetrator of crimes, while the identity of the victims were often overshadowed. In the Aurora prayer vigil, every victim was identified and prayed for by name. By noticing and honoring them, the community agreed that the lives that had been lost mattered.
6. Physical acts of care. At least three vans offered coffee and hot chocolate to people attending the vigil, reminding me how important it is that people’s most basic physical needs are met during chaotic times of crisis. It matters to those who receive care, and it is also meaningful to those who are offering the care. Aurora resident Greg Zanis has made 26,275 crosses for victims of every national tragedy since the Columbine shooting in 1999. Although the five he made for victims in his own town were the most difficult, the physical act of creating and offering the crosses was an important act for Zanis and his own processing of the tragedy.
When communities continue to face heartbreaking and senseless tragedies across the country, we can feel helpless. And yet, we can learn from the brave communities who have faithfully and thoughtfully walked through their own disasters.
