A Message from the EditorBrrrr, it’s cold in here!...

Okay, while that might not be quite accurate, I can say there is a ton of “cool” content in this issue of Th e Angelus — mission reports, funny pho-tos, upcoming events, etc.... but also challenges, born out of people in need.

While I was busy proofi ng this issue with Martha Lang, Director of Missions & Outreach, I quipped that, “perhaps we should nickname this the ‘Missions & Outreach’ edition” due to all the wonderful things they have been involved in, represented in these pages. Indeed, as I was compiling them, I found myself once again thankful for the stance of our parish, in so frequently reaching in to the lives of others who are in need of help.

Th e Bible is replete with exhortations to help others. One such reference is Isaiah 58:10 which reads, “If you extend your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the affl icted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness.” And earlier, in Is. 41:17 it reads, “Th e poor and needy seek water, but there is none. I the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them...”

Th at’s the people in Honduras. In Belize. In South Sudan and other places, both domestic and foreign, where we have answered the call to help. I truly see our Incarnation family as an instru-ment being used by God to “not forsake them” — read through these pages and see the work that has been done, and the need that still exists; do you not agree?

Opportunites are occuring on a regular base to change someone’s life. Albert Schweitzer was quoted as saying, “Wherever a man turns he can fi nd someone who needs him.” With natural disasters happening, seemingly, on a regular basis along with more normal obstacles, let us look in some direction — any direction — and fi nd one to whom we can off er aid. Joplin? Tuscaloosa? Your neighbor? You? I believe the continued blessing of God on this parish is born, in some part, as a result of and out of, the blessing we off er to others. May we continue to live amidst the call to help, with awareness and willingness to be the instrument God seeks to care for his people and creation.

Curtis Brown II has won plenty of med-als over the years at Special Olympics

games in Texas.

But next week, the 19-year-old sailor will go for the gold far from home.

On Saturday, the recent Duncanville High School graduate will head to Athens, Greece, to compete in the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

He and Anderson Jones, a Special Olympics volunteer who sails with him, will compete against sailors from around the world at the games scheduled from June 25 to July 4.

Competing in the world games is a rare honor. Brown is one of 36 Texas athletes, including six from North Texas, who will participate.

Th e games will feature 7,500 athletes from

185 countries -- including 300 from the Unites States -- competing in a variety of sports including aquatics, bocce, bowling, cycling, roller-skating, basketball and soccer.

Brown, who graduated from Duncanville High School this month, began sailing two years ago at his coach’s suggestion. Since then, he has sailed in the state Special Olym-pics competition. He and Jones recently traveled to San Diego to train for the world games. Th e teen’s favorite part: “Th e ocean, the beautiful ocean.”

Curtis Brown, his father, said he was appre-hensive about the sport at fi rst. But his son was so eager, he did not want to stop him.

Now, he said that sailing has helped build the teen’s confi dence.

Th e father said that Curtis Brown II was born premature at only 2 pounds, 4 ounces

and had heart problems plus an intellectual disability.

He’s now a healthy teenager who loves sports, seafood, science fi ction movies and rap and R&B music. Now that he has graduated from high school, Brown said he is working to get vocational training for his son, who wants to work.

Brown said he is thrilled that his son will compete in the world games.

“Th is is an honor and a privilege”, he said. “it lets him know he can do a lot of things.”

“Just to see him come this far is outstanding.”

Th e father will not be able to accompany his son to the games. Brown will travel with his fellow teammates. And his mom, April

BUILDING LIVESIncarnation ministers in HondurasArticle and photos by Martha Lang

Incarnation sent a team of 38 mis-

sioners in June to the remote community of La Laguna, high in the mountains of western Honduras. Th ere we served at a small Epis-

copal mission church called San Matias that is a beacon of hope for this pov-erty stricken community. Our team was privileged to share Christ’s love through our good works in a variety of ways. We worshipped together with our Honduran brothers and sisters. We brought Christian education to the children each day. We off ered a medical, dental and pharmacy clinic which we set up in the little church building. We hiked to 8 homes and worked alongside the families to construct healthier living environments. By the end of the week we were exhausted, and we are thankful for every minute of this experi-ence! Peter Overland led our construction team eff orts. Peter describes our work: “Th is year’s construction team worked hard to help improve the living condi-tions for eight of the households in the community. Bishop Lloyd Allen and the Diocese of Honduras conceived a program of household improvements that directly and immediately improve the lives of its participants. Th is program includes the installation of a new oven and cooking surface (which produces higher cook-ing temperatures and exterior venting of smoke), a cistern for collecting and storing clean rain water at the house (known as a “pila” in Spanish), and a latrine that fl ushes to a sealed septic tank. Th ese three improvements directly address the health problems associated with sanita-tion in these households. Food-borne and water-borne diseases are a common threat in Honduras. Our construction team worked hard

to complete these improvements. We received construction help from members of the community and local construction experts. We got to know the local Hon-durans on a personal basis and learned how to make permanent improvements without the help of power tools! We plan to continue these eff orts throughout the community in the coming years (eight households is only a fraction of the total).” Team member and nurse Angela Watkins tells the story of Suyapa, a woman who has changed all of our lives: “Th is mission trip was fi lled with God’s presence and joy in our dear Honduran friends, our work as a team, and the glory of His creation that surrounded us high on that mountain. Th e fi rst day, Padre Luis asked us to visit Suyapa, a young woman who was very ill and weak, and living with her father and two sons much higher up the mountain. Debbie Finn, one of our nurses, went up and assessed the medical needs of Suyapa and her family. She found her very ill and most likely nearing death, and her elderly father, whom Dr. Rick believed to have active tuberculosis. Th e next day we returned, giving her several antibiotics, vitamins, protein drinks and a B-12 shot. Before leaving, Bishop Tony prayed with Suyapa, laying on hands and asking God’s healing presence. Even without understanding his lovely prayer in Spanish, my heart felt the Holy Spirit’s tender love and mercy and powerful presence in that small, dark room. Two days later, we found this frail woman who could not walk, sitting outside in the sun with her boys--with bright eyes and a smile on her face! God’s healing was truly miraculous to see! We returned on our last day armed with lice shampoo and food supplies for

You never know that it will be the most important day of your life until the

day is over. Th e day started like any other day for me: waking up, eating, going to the gym, showering, and going to my 4 pm ED shift . As I drove to the hospital, I mentally prepared for my shift as I always do, but nothing could ever have prepared me for what was going to happen on this shift .Th ings were normal for the fi rst hour and half. At approximately 5:30 pm, we received a warning that a tornado had been spot-ted. Although I work in Joplin and went to medical school in Oklahoma, I live in New Jersey, and I have never seen or been in a tor-nado. I learned that a “code gray” was being called. We were to start bringing patients to safer spots within the ED and hospital.

At 5:42 pm, a security guard yelled to every-one, “Take cover! We are about to get hit by a tornado!” While others scattered to vari-ous places, I ran with a pregnant RN, Shilo Cook, to the only place that I was familiar with in the hospital without windows — a small doctor’s offi ce in the ED. Together, Shilo and I tremored and huddled under a desk. We heard a loud horrifying sound like a large locomotive ripping through the hospital. Th e whole hospital shook and vibrated as we heard glass shattering, light bulbs popping, walls collapsing, people screaming, the ceiling caving in above us, and water pipes breaking, showering water down on everything. We suff ered this in complete darkness, unaware of anyone else’s status, worried, scared. We could feel a tight pressure in our heads as the tornado annihi-lated the hospital and the surrounding area. Th e whole process took about 45 seconds, but seemed like eternity. Th e hospital had just taken a direct hit from a category EF-5 tornado.

Th en it was over. Just 45 seconds. 45 long seconds. We looked at each other, terrifi ed, and thanked God that we were alive.

“Like a bomb went off ” — Th at’s the only

way that I can describe what we saw next. Patients were coming into the ED in droves. It was absolute, utter chaos. Th ey were limping, crying, terrifi ed, with debris and glass sticking out of them, just thankful to be alive. Th e fl oor was covered with about 3 inches of water. Th ere was no power, not even backup generators, rendering it com-pletely dark and eerie in the ED. Th e fright-ening aroma of methane gas leaking from the broken gas lines permeated the air — we knew, but did not dare mention aloud, what that meant. I redoubled my pace.

I remember a patient in his early 20s gasping for breath. Aft er a quick exam, I removed glass from his back, made the clinical diag-nosis of a collapsed lung and gathered sup-plies from wherever I could locate them to insert a thoracostomy tube in him. He was a trooper — I’ll never forget his courage.

All around us was chaos, reminding me of scenes in a war movie, or news footage from bombings in Bagdad. Except this was right in front of me and it had happened in just 45 seconds.

My own car was blown away. Gone. Seem-ingly evaporated. We searched within a half mile radius later that night, but never found the car, only the littered, crumpled remains of former cars. And a John Deere tractor that had blown in from miles away.Tragedy has a way of revealing human good-ness. As I worked, surrounded by devasta-tion and suff ering, I realized I was not alone. Th e people of the community of Joplin were absolutely incredible. Within minutes of the horrifi c event, local residents showed up in pickups and sport utility vehicles, all off ering to help transport the wounded to other facilities, including Freeman, the trauma center literally across the street. Ironically, it had sustained only minimal damage and was functioning (although I’m sure overwhelmed).

Within hours, I estimated that over 100 EMS units showed up from various towns, counties, and four diff erent states. Consider-ing the circumstances, their response time was miraculous. Roads were blocked with downed utility lines, smashed up cars in piles, and they still made it through.

We continued to carry patients out of the hospital on anything that we could fi nd: sheets, stretchers, broken doors, mattresses, wheelchairs — anything that could be used as a transport mechanism.

By this time, news crews and photographers were starting to swarm around, and we were able to get a ride to Memorial Hall from another RN. Th e chaos was slightly more controlled at Memorial Hall. I was relieved to see many of my colleagues, doctors from every specialty, helping out. It was amazing to be able to see life again. It was also amaz-ing to see how fast workers mobilized to set up this MASH unit under the circumstanc-es. Supplies, food, drink, generators, exam tables, all were there — except pharmaceuti-cal pain meds, which we really needed.

I managed to go back to St John’s with another physician, pharmacist, and a sheriff ’s offi cer. Luckily, security let us in to a highly guarded pharmacy to bring back a garbage bucket-sized supply of pain meds.

At about midnight, I walked around the parking lot of St. John’s with local law en-forcement offi cers looking for anyone who might be alive or trapped in cars. Th ey spray painted “X”s on the fortunate vehicles that had been searched without fi nding anyone inside.

I continued back to Memorial Hall into the early morning hours until my ED colleagues told me it was time for me to go home. I was completely exhausted. I had seen enough of my fi rst tornado.

With 100 kids and over 75 volun-teers, Incarnation’s Shake it Up

Café VBS was one of the biggest & best ones ever!! Just a few weeks before the big event, however, we were concerned because we didn’t have enough volun-teers. Fortunately, the staff rallied and aft er word spread (thanks for the pulpit plug!) parishioners began coming out of the woodwork to help us! One of the big-gest surprises though, came when Angie Dodd, the leader of the Young Life group at NDHS, heard of our need, called us up and said “we’re coming to help!” Angie, her husband Ronald and their 2 kids, and 10 youth volunteers spent the week with us. Along with our other volunteers, these kids worked hard and played, sang and loved on our VBS kids. Cathy Ammer-mann, our VBS Director, said “Th e enthusiasm, energy and positive atti-tude of the Young Life volunteers inspired all of us. Th e love they showed to all our kids was a brilliant refl ection of God’s love for all his children. For me, watching

the Young Life volunteers was one of the highlights of [this] VBS, and of all the VBS programs I’ve attended.” Another volunteer said, “It was such a blessing to see all of these kids, from diff erent places & walks in life, coming together, in this place. It was a beautiful picture of the body of Christ.”

COTI partners with NDHS Young Life by providing volunteers to assist with weekly Club meeting at NDHS, pro-viding meals for Club the fi rst Tuesday of each month during the school year, planning and attending special outings with the students, providing scholarships and goodie bags for members to attend summer camp, providing space at the church for Campaigners (a smaller group of YL students who want to study God’s word in a more in depth way) to meet each week for Bible Study, and providing the salary and support for the Young Life Leader. COTI has been a partner with NDHS Young Life for 3.5 years aft er help-

ing to resurrect the program at the request of the former principal. Volunteers are needed in the fall to support the YL pro-gram at NDHS and can contact Christy Herrscher if they are interested in learning more! [email protected].

Th e club size varies from year to year with as many as 75 in attendance each week. Th ere were 20 students attending camp in Ashville, NC June 18-26th. Church of the Incarnation joined the NDHS stu-dents this year for camp with 9 students and one leader from here attending. Th e group headed out from the church on June 18th at 7:00 p.m. for an 18 hour bus ride to Windy Gap in North Carolina!

Th ank you again Angie Dodd & Young Life for assisting in our VBS, and thanks to all our parishioners who volunteered in some way that week. It was truly a special time and we look forward to continuing to partner with this incredible group of kids in the future.

“It gives me joy to see him out there,” he said.

Brown helped adjust the sails as he and Jones glided across the East Dallas lake under cloudless skies.

Jones, who competed in sailing in college, has volunteered for Special Olympics for seven years. He said that Brown adapts well to changing conditions on the water.

“He listens, he gets into it, and he’s strong,” he said, adding that the duo has fun. “Never a dull moment.”

Aft er the training session, he said the two were ready for the upcoming competition.

“It’ll be fun,” he said. “It’ll be an adven-ture.”

Curtis Brown II said he looks forward to the trip, but he’s not stressing over the upcoming games.

“I’m defi nitely not nervous,” he said. “I’m excited.”

UPDATE: As of time of printing, they won the GOLD METAL!

Suyapa! Her hair was shampooed fi rst with lice shampoo, then with a sweet smelling shampoo and conditioner, and then we braided her fi ne and broken hair for her. Taking a wet towel, we gently washed her face and arms, covered with dirt from living with dirt fl oors and no clean water for bathing. Looking down, I noticed her bare feet that were covered in dirt, and heard Jesus’ words, in John 13:14-17, as He washed His disciples feet. Using the lovely coconut shampoo, we gently washed and massaged Suyapa’s small, tired feet. Aft er shampooing the boys hair, they held out their little arms to be washed---perfectly still and trusting as their arms, faces and the dirt inside their ears was gently removed. God touched each one of us on that mountain, high in that remote village in Honduras. Th rough His grace, He allowed each of us the blessing of being His hands and feet, and His healing love and presence fi lled our hearts with humility and joy beyond measure. To God be the Glory!! “ We wish to thank our Rector, Bishop Bur-ton, for serving as our spiritual director. Our mission team leaders were Larry Tate and Melanie Brewer. Th ey spent an entire year planning every detail of this mission trip. We are grateful to them for all the time, attention to detail and love they put into this mission trip. We are grateful to Incarnation for sending us. We are grateful to God for calling us.

Stars INC., Year 2 By Christy Herrscher

Young people meet-ing with mentors,

looking to the future and making friends who help them reach for that goal!!! Th at’s what we are working with North Dallas High

School to accomplish. Men and women linked to high school students to manage and maneuver their way to the next steps on their personal and career paths. What a great ministry! WHO? Th is year was our fi rst year with 13 StarsINC mentors meeting at least once a month with Freshmen students. Working closely with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, we enjoyed pizza lunch and long talks about life and baseball, proms and algebra. WHEN? Our mentors came from every age group and occupation to North Dallas High School at least one weekday lunch a month; but some more oft en. WHY? Th e students chosen to work with us need that special extra eff ort that we can all give…to stay in school, excel at something worth doing, fi nish classwork and grow in belief about their future and their possibili-ties for success. 2011-2012: StarsINC 2010-2011 mentors will continue to support NDHS Freshmen as they go into their Sophomore year. AND its time to sign up for this year’s NDHS Freshmen Class! A commitment to two meetings a month from October to May- during the lunch hour; one will be Pizza lunch where we all meet and share our challenges and successes! A Promise. You will have a chance to see the Lord at work in your community, in a child’s life and in your own! For additional information: Christy Herscher at the Outreach Offi ce or Pat Stone, Champion for StarsInc.
