Tennessee Tornado Relief-2 We are just about loaded and ready to roll out of here at about 6:30 tomorrow, Sunday, morning. There will be two guys traveling with me from Sarasota, one from Covenant Life Presbyterian and one from the Barnabas house. A couple from Merritt Island Calvary Chapel will be leaving out of Merritt Island and 5 guys from the Bowery Mission in NYC will also be leaving their homes tomorrow morning. On Wednesday Dan will join us from New Mexico for a week. We will be staying for at least 10 days. We will all meet at Chattanooga Calvary Chapel in Tennessee where we will journey to Apison, TN, a small town of about 14,000 that was largely destroyed by the tornado that came through it almost 2 weeks ago. Over 40 people were killed from this tornado in what is considered the Chattanooga area where this particular tornado traveled. We have been blessed to be provided with a church that will let us stay in the town so that we can be close to where we will be ministering. There is still room for more to help us out in Tennessee. If you are interested in helping in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us! Please pray for all those families affected by this storm and the others in the area. Please pray for traveling mercies for our group. Please pray for wisdom and guidance once we get to Apison. Please also pray for all of those who have been or will be affected by the flooding that is currently going on from the Mississippi River. On another note, we just finished up a very rewarding county wide relief preparedness training session yesterday and today. We had almost 70 people attend. The comments we received were very positive. Thanks to all of you who attended and to those who helped us put it on! To the rest of you, where were you!! Hope to see you next year if you live in our area. One final thing, we are looking for volunteers to join us at the Bowery in NYC August 1-8 to help in the kitchen and with other minor things around the building. If you are interested in joining our team or know someone who is, please let us know. I maybe able to send out an email or two while I am in Tennessee, if not, I’ll give a full report when I return and I know I still owe a report from last weeks trip to the Bowery with the 8thgrade class, busy, busy, busy!! Thanks for all your prayers and support. Proclaiming the Lord in all we do, In season and out of season.
