Loren Oesterly is a member of the United Church of God and lives in Azusa, California, right next to the devasting fires of the past week. He is the treasurer of the Church and works with pastor Tom Fish to distribute aid to victims of the fire.  He gives a first-hand view that is sobering and and sobering at the same time.  People have been helping one another as they search for answers to WHY.

Los Angeles / Bakersfield pastor Frank Fish talks about what he and his congregation have gone through in the January 2054 fires.  One member family totally lost their home and all their belongings.  Others evacuated.  Pastor Frank and wife Valerie were in the Hurst fire area, but fortunately escaped damage.  

LifeNets is giving immediate help fire victims. The spirit of helping one another has never been greater.
