We feel it is important that we should be preparing both physically and spiritually. Physical preparation should be as each family prayerfully considers what and how they are to be prepared. The bible gives us plenty of warning throughout biblical history that warns us to be prepared. We believe that God does supply all of our needs, but we also see that God gives us many biblical example of the importance of preparing for lean times. An empty food cupboard is not being a wise steward of what God has given us. Matthew 6:24 does tell us not to worry about tomorrow, but does not say that we should not prepare for tomorrow. Preparing is not just stocking up, but making sure we are walking strongly with Jesus and all our decisions are brought before Him, so that when He does tell us what to do, we will hear. One example of being prepared spiritually is given in the parable of the Ten Virgins. Five of the virgins didn’t prepare, they didn’t have extra oil for the long wait. Preparing also means getting out of debt and staying out of debt. Proverbs 22:7 tells us the borrower becomes the lenders slave. By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, prepared an ark to the saving of his house. Joseph directed the storing of grain during seven plentiful years to be used during seven years of famine. Join us as we help our communities prepare for whatever the future holds. It is our heart that we can connect as a community in preparing for any disaster. Let us be biblical preppers (those that help others) and not survivalist preppers (those who only look out for themselves.)

- The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down. Proverbs 21:20
- Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, your poverty will come in like a vagabond and your need like an armed man. Proverbs 6:6-11
- A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simple one goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. Proverbs 27:12
