| Alien and Stranger |
I Am An Alien And Stranger In This World - A
Christian
As long as I can remember - I have been a
stranger in this world. Even as a child - I saw
things from a different perspective. I saw them
through the spiritual eyes that God had blessed
me with. I saw things from a spiritual
perspective.
One example of how I am a stranger comes from my
childhood memories. I grew up in a time when the
women wore dresses and there were very exceptions
to that rule. I attended a local church and one
day the pastor’s wife had a talk with mom. She
told her to let me wear jeans to services. I
liked wearing dresses and for a period of time -
I felt uncomfortable but soon adjusted to the new
style. I suppose the pastor’s wife felt I needed
to fit in with the other children.
But, I never really did fit in - I was always
different than everyone else.
As a child I would play school and make crosses
out of
play -dough. I would invite the neighborhood
children to church. I would even ask mom to give
my clothes I had outgrown to a neighbor child
down the street.
The Lord and I had a close relationship in my
childhood prayers. I would lock myself in the
bathroom and kneel down to pray. I knew God had a
plan for me and I never did enjoy things that did
not glorify God.
Today, I am really an alien and stranger in this
world because I am an ordained pastor and I am a
woman. The Lord called me and I am not ashamed
and I will stand firm for the Lord and continue
in his service until I draw my last breath. I
will not compromise to fit in or to receive
donations. I am in the Lord’s army and I will
follow his orders. I preach the truth and call
sin: “Sin”. Someday, everyone will stand before
the judgment seat of Christ and will give account
for their lives. Pastors and Christians need to
wake up and hear the battle cry to serve the Lord
and spread the good news of Jesus!
I Peter 2:11-12 “Dear friends, I urge you, as
aliens and strangers in the world to abstain from
sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live
such good lives among the pagans that, though
they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your
good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits".

| Tattoos |
Rev. Kimberly R. Dreiman
Made In God’s Image
In today’s
society-tattoos and body piercing are common
sites. Personally, I believe they are a way for
Satan to mock what God has created. Tattoos and
body piercing are not from the Lord. The Lord
clearly states this in: Leviticus 19:28 “Do not
cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks
on yourselves, I am the Lord.” (NIV) In I
Corinthians 3:16 “Don’t you know that you
yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s spirit
lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple,
God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred
and you are the temple.” (NIV) – The scripture
reminds us that the body is God’s temple and
should be treated with honor and respect.
If you are considering body piercing or getting a
tattoo – ask yourself: “Would this be pleasing to
the Lord?” The answer would be No! Why not take
the money you would spend on a tattoo or piercing
and use it for something that would glorify God.
You may ask about those who have a tattoo or
piecing and they received it before they knew the
Lord. Tattoos can be removed and body piercing
will disappear if object is removed. In some
cases – it may be impossible or too expensive to
remove the tattoos. So, the person who made the
choice to have a tattoo – may carry that with
them for the rest of their life. Remember, the
Lord looks at the condition inside the heart –
not the outward appearance.

| Donations Needed "Give Children A Chance" |
Donations Needed For Soldiers and “Give Children
A Chance”
Ring of Fire Evangelistic Ministry has
adopted a soldier who reaches out to meet the
needs of war torn children. Army Sgt. 1st Class
Jarrod Gozy was adopted by the ministry. Care
packages will be sent to him once a month - along
with letters and prayers. Some needed items for
the care package are: almonds and hand-warmers.
As with previous care packages sent - Army Sgt.
1st class Jarrod Gozy has agreed to share items
with other soldiers. Items such as granola bars,
candy and other items are also needed. Items may
be dropped off at 208 N. Boone St. in Olney, IL
or phone:618-392-7880 or 838-0328 for more
information.
Army Sgt. 1st class Jarrod Gozy had his
needs met growing up. He grew up in Chillicothe
and was one of eight children. He has been
deployed to Haiti, Iraq and Afghanistan and has
seen the great need of these children in those
areas. In an effort to help children who have
done without - he started the “Give Children A
Chance” program. Gozy started by handing out
candy and toys to Haitian children approximately
a decade ago. But, he realized these children
needed school supplies and other basic items for
living such as clothes ect.
The project was expanded ( approximately 2
years ago) to provide clothing to keep the
children warm. Money was raised and used to
provide book bags, coats and school supplies.
This project is directed through Cameron Baptist
Church - which is near fort Bragg, N. C. Gozy is
a member of this church. The donations that were
given provided supplies for a school full of
students, 20 teachers and three administrators.
These items would not have been a reality if they
had not been donated to these war torn areas.
Donations may be sent to: “Give Children A
Chance” Sfc. Jarrod Gozy HHC LTF 173DSB
APOAE09355 or e-mail Gozy at:
jarrod.gozy@us.army.mil or send donations to:
Cameron Baptist Church P.O. Box 155 Cameron NC
28326 Attention: Give Children A Chance. If
items are sent to the church - this will ensure
it is used for this purpose. This also cuts down
on shipping and handling. The church works
closely with nearby Fort Bragg to get items
oversees.
Donations to be sent for Gozy and the other
soldiers should be dropped by: 208 N. Boone St.
in Olney, IL 62450. May God Bless You for the
willingness to donate to support the soldiers.
