Would you be so kind to send the request out to the Waterboyz for a plumber. Contact Olav Gjerde at (240) 994-9554 or thecadstudio@hotmail.com

Kairos for Youth: Dear Waterboyz, Men needed to bring Christ to incarcerated youth Christian individuals, married couples, and church groups are needed to serve male youth, ages 15 to 19 years, at Green Ridge Youth Camp, a state juvenile justice facility in Flintstone, Maryland. This volunteer program, called Kairos Torch, was developed by Kairos Prison Ministries. Torch is designed to introduce incarcerated youth to Christ, show them God's love, and teach Christ-based decision-making. While Torch is active in many states, Green Ridge is the first such effort in Maryland. Team training begins May 8 in Frederick. On July 23-25, a weekend with the youth will be held at Green Ridge. The mentoring component will be every other week for up to 6 months. Adult volunteers are needed to do music, kitchen, talks, table leaders, and mentoring. I would love the opportunity to discuss this with individuals, Waterboyz tables, and church groups. Gratefully, Milt Tipperman at 301-639-5411 or milttipperman@verizon.net

Counter Top Available: My parents are in the process of updating their kitchen and today removed a large counter top and sink which they would love to find a home for. The counter top is about a 2' length, a 3 section sink and then another 5' +/- of counter top and then an addition 2 chunks of counter top about 2' long each. The counters are 3 year old Formica tops, almond in color and in good shape. The sink is in good shape along with the faucets, but the hose on the sink got crunched in the take off. They would love to find a home for all of this. If you know of anyone who could put this to work it is on their back porch for a few days, but as they are doing some other work, I know that it won't be able to stay there for long. Let me know if you know of anyone or have them contact me directly. Robin Nicholson. buckchatter@verizon.net

WEIGHT LOSS/BROTHER IN NEED: Guys, Paul received an e-mail from one of our table leaders this week. He is in dire need to lose weight very quickly in order to avoid a stroke or heart attack. Unfortunately, because of his financial situation he cannot afford any special diet plan. He is on disability. I and several other Waterboyz are on a "Life Style Change Program that can help get this weight off quickly and keep it off through a diet and behavior changes. I personally have lost 66Lbs since 1/4/2010. 3- months 60 Lbs. It is a Johns Hopkins approved diet and it works. It is a meal replacement program. I am so impressed with the results I have decided to get involved providing the solution to others. Anyhow the program cost about $300 a month. Men lose on average 25Lbs a month on this plan, women 15-18Lbs. I think we can get our man down to his desired weight in 2-3 months and then it will take another 2-3 months to transition off the plan to other foods. His church as agreed to sponsor 2 , maybe 3 months. I am asking to your pledge to raise an additional $600-$900 for the remaining months. Although I cannot discount the product, but I can get him an extra week for each month we purchase. I will re-invest any proceeds I receive back towards paying for the diet. In other words I will not profit from it. If you are willing to pledge money to help this brother out, please send me a personal e-mail to huntercloss@verizon.net, Attn: Save My Brother, with the amount of your pledge. I can then contact you about collecting a check or give you a PayPal address to fulfill your pledge. If you want more details on the situation please call me directly 301-366-7327. If you want more information on the plan see Get Healthy Program Thank you for your consideration. Eric Closs.

Unknown to him the tears of fear rolled down her cheeks. If you have any items could help her get her husband around please call me (Jerry Bish 301-829-8940 or jkbish83@comcast.net).

Service Opportunity-The Shive house is nearing completion, thanks to Bernie and his Waterboyz. Once this house is finished, battered women and their kidz along with foster kidz will have a place to go to be safe and to learn about a God who loves them enough to provide a warm welcoming home. Talk about ‘proclaiming freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind’ – for these hurting rejected folk, 2010 WILL be ‘the year of the Lord’s favor’! Up until now most of the work was mostly of the skilled variety - 1) removing the roof 2) building a second floor 3) putting the roof back on 4) building rooms and walls and other stuff. BUT NOW……………………. This Serving Saturday (January 16th) there is something for everyone. If you live south of Damascus this project is for YOU! SO COME ONE COME ALL!!!

LIST OF WORK TO DO:

Painters lead by Victor Gonzalez (8-10 people)
Tiling lead by Charles Kim (2-3 people)
Insulating & hanging drywall in the attic. Also framing if we have time (4-6 people)

Contact Bernie Thompson at thombb1@earthlink.net

House Trailer Needed: There is a mother and her son who are living in Mt. Airy in a house trailer that needs to be replaced. To give you an idea of the condition of the trailer, the entry door must be kept closed with a chair and the roof leaks even with a covering of clear plastic. The son must climb on the roof when it snows to push the snow off to reduce leaks and keep the roof from sagging in. The mother works and the father is incarcerated. Do you know of a house trailer in good condition that someone would be willing to donate or sell at a reasonable price? Please contact RIFC at 301-698-1807 if you do. And, if you don't know of an available trailer at the moment, please keep asking and looking. God bless you!

A note from Dave Berg:

MY Friends !!!, I am writing to ask for your help. On January 30, 2010, I have committed to grin and “bear” it for the athletes of Special Olympics Maryland by taking a chilly dip into the Chesapeake Bay alongside about 17,000 other warm-hearted people. Average water temp is 36 degrees -- But the hearts & smiles of those kids will help keep me warm. I know – you’re probably getting cold just thinking about it! But the cold that I will feel is temporary…the positive impact this will have on the lives of thousands of citizens with intellectual disabilities will last a lifetime. I have set a personal fundraising goal, and I need your help to reach it! So no, I’m not asking you to take the Plunge alongside, but instead, I am asking if you will make a donation to Special Olympics Maryland on behalf of me taking the 2010 MSP Plunge. Any amount would be appreciated – it all goes to a wonderful cause, and every little bit gets me that much closer to my goal. If you want to learn more about this wacky winter event, visit www.plungemd.com to find out all the chilly details. Think warm thoughts for me at January 30th approaches. I will do my best to “Be the Bear” and make my supporters proud! Thank you!!! CLICK This Link ------ to make ON-LINE DONATIONS Your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law.

A Note from the Easton table:

On a side note, our Easton Waterboyz table is really gelling. The Boyz are on fire and excited about reading and learning God's word. We get a steady 6-7 people each week. We have a rotation of people too, so one of these days we will have a 10-man table! We had our first service work a few weeks ago and it is awesome giving up some time and a couple bucks to help someone in need. I feel so blessed that one year ago this week there were 30-40 men that gave of their time, their talents, their wallets, and their sweat equity for the good of God's Kingdom. And one year later we have a strong table going, with regular participation, and service opportunities. The men of our congregation have grown immensely, in His unity, and a big part of this was the example set for us by Jimmy Shields, Dave Berg, Troy, Lil Jay, and all the other guys. The Waterboyz is an amazing organization, with gifted leadership that motivates us men that need that extra push. I can't wait until Friday mornings, so I can connect with another brother, and learn where God wants me to be today. Jay Stamerro

Looking for space: Seeking shop space to rent. I need a space somewhere around 1,000 square feet. I would prefer it to be heated, but I am willing to do any improvements needed to make it a workable space for a woodworking shop. I really need to have a space to build my own projects, instead of farming them out to other shops. Thanks, Rusty Berg. genesishomeimprovement@yahoo.com

I haven't been able to find anyone to take it off our hands and I really don't want it to end up in a landfill somewhere. Do you know of anyone, perhaps through Waterboyz and/or church, who would like to pick this up and take it home? Best, Mariesa Dale – Gaithersburg MD 301.222.7871 mariesakathryndale@gmail.com
