They stand as a physical symbol of hope, the first step in the rebuilding process.</font><font color="#ffffff"><br /><br />We remain in need of your ongoing financial and prayerful support as we continue to meet needs and show Christ&rsquo;s love to those impacted by this disaster.<br /><br />To share a much needed gift today, please click the link below.</font></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="wsite-video"><div class="wsite-video-wrapper wsite-video-height-282 wsite-video-align-center"> 					<div id="wsite-video-container-904611614581260244" class="wsite-video-container" style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0;"> 						<iframe allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="video-iframe-904611614581260244" 							src="about:blank"> 						</iframe> 						<script> 							document.getElementById("video-iframe-904611614581260244").style.opacity = 0; 							document.getElementById("wsite-video-container-904611614581260244").style.background = "none"; 							var videoIframe904611614581260244Content = '<!DOC'+'TYPE ht'+'ml>' 								+ '<he'+'ad>' 								+ '<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js">\x3C/script>' 								+ '<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="//www.weebly.com/weebly/apps/generateVideo.php?source=weebly&output=js&elementid=904611614581260244&user=54577967&ineditor=0&align=center&margintop=10px&marginbottom=10px&downloadable=0&height=282&video=5/4/5/7/54577967/img_4563_585.mp4&image=5/4/5/7/54577967/img_4563_585.jpg">\x3C/script>' 								+ '</he'+'ad>' 								+ '<bo'+'dy style="margin:0; padding: 0;border:none;overflow:hidden;">' 								+ '</bo'+'dy></ht'+'ml>'; 							setTimeout(function() { 								var videoIframe904611614581260244Actual =  document.getElementById("video-iframe-904611614581260244").contentDocument; 								videoIframe904611614581260244Actual.open().write(videoIframe904611614581260244Content); 								videoIframe904611614581260244Actual.close(); 							}, 500); 						</script> 						<style> 							#wsite-video-container-904611614581260244{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/5/7/54577967/img_4563_585.jpg); 							}  							#video-iframe-904611614581260244{ 								background: url(//cdn2.editmysite.com/images/util/videojs/play-icon.png?1504804196); 							}  							#wsite-video-container-904611614581260244, #video-iframe-904611614581260244{ 								background-repeat: no-repeat; 								background-position:center; 							}  							@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), 								only screen and (        min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), 								only screen and (                min-resolution: 192dpi), 								only screen and (                min-resolution: 2dppx) { 									#video-iframe-904611614581260244{ 										background: url(//cdn2.editmysite.com/images/util/videojs/@2x/play-icon.png?1504804196); 										background-repeat: no-repeat; 										background-position:center; 										background-size: 70px 70px; 									} 							} 						</style> 					</div> 				</div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="/uploads/5/4/5/7/54577967/published/img-4559.jpg?1504631623" alt="Picture" style="width:447;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div style="text-align:left;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="https://secure.paperlesstrans.com/IDESMobile" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Help Hurricane Harvey Victims</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></div> 				<div id='556612583444352252-gallery' class='imageGallery' style='line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0'>

							The church I attend (Broad Creek Christian Church) supports IDES.  And, we are quite aware of the deviation due to Hurricane Harvey and our hearts are aching for our brothers & sisters in Texas.  As a church we want to be of help. What is the best way to help right now? Financial? Are there other ways - sending supplies?  Or??<br/>
<br/>
Please let know right away so we can begin pulling our resources.<br/>
Thanks,<br/>
Judy Anderson (part of the mission team at BCCC)

							Hi Judy,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks so much for your generous support. We appreciate you all. <br/>
<br/>
The best way to help right now is indeed financially. If that changes at all, we will certainly keep you posted. <br/>
<br/>
Again, thank you very much!

<br/>
Your gift would be used to provide emergency supplies and resources, to assist in removing damaged dry-wall and insulation to dry out the homes and begin the rebuilding process, and to build storage buildings for families' belongings while their homes are being repaired. Thank you.

							Hi Wendy,<br/>
<br/>
We appreciate your generous offer. Right now, our plan of response is to work with volunteers from a local church in the Houston area as opposed to taking a team from elsewhere with us. But we'd be happy to pass your contact information on to our US Disaster Response Coordinator. What church are you with and where, and what's a good number to contact you?

							Like Wendy, we're on team send a team.  We know that with the attention, there'll be a lot of teams wanting go immediately, so if there's a church we can connect with to serve in March of 2018, we'd like to start talking about that in November or December, with the understanding that it'll take awhile to even access what longer term needs are.

							Hi Mitch, thanks so much for your offer to help. We would love to put you on our list of willing volunteers that we are coordinating right now -- would you be so kind as to fill out the form at the bottom of the "Get Involved" page here on our website? That will ensure you get on the list. We will be contacting volunteers on an as-we-need-them basis off of this list, whether it be here at our headquarters, or there in the affected areas. Thank you so much!

							I am a teacher at the Hillsboro Christian Academy in Hillsboro Ohio, our 8th grade students want to organize a collection for the hurricane victims of Houston here at our school and possibly our community. <br/>
We know that financially would be ideal but if we would ask for personal items or cleaning supplies etc. Would that be possible as well?<br/>
They would like to help and it was their idea to get involved so that is why I am asking.<br/>
Please respond by or contact me via email or phone. We are close to the person above from Loveland,Ohio.<br/>
Thanks Kimberly O'Madden<br/>

							Hi Kimberly, thank you for your offer. We know it may not be what folks want to hear, but the absolute best way to help in the immediate days is through fundraising. If your students are willing to assist with fundraising, that would phenomenal for us.  <br/>
<br/>
These funds will be used to purchase exactly what is needed locally for the communities we are serving in, as quickly as the needs arise. This is much more time efficient and much more cost effective for IDES than organizing shipments of supplies from elsewhere right now. Thank you so much for your understanding.

							What is your administrative overhead rate and credit card fees that you withhold on Harvey donations? As a nonprofit, you have to cover administrative, overhead, staffing, salaries, your marketing, etc. somehow so 100% can't go to Harvey?

							Hi Amanda.<br/>
That's a great question.  IDES has church partners who's gifts cover marketing, fundraising, salaries, and other overhead expenses.  100% of an individual's gift go to a project-if designated they will go to that particular project.

							Hi Kennedy, thanks so much for your offer to help. Right now, we will be working with volunteers from several local churches in the Houston area as opposed to taking a team of volunteers down from elsewhere. But, we would love to put you on our list of willing volunteers that we are coordinating right now for the future -- would you be so kind as to fill out the form at the bottom of the "Get Involved" page here on our website? That will ensure you get on the list. We will be contacting volunteers on an as-we-need-them basis off of this list, whether it be here at our headquarters, or there in the affected areas. Please also include details about quantity of volunteers, and skill levels of volunteers. Thank you so much!
					</p>
