Tennessee/North Carolina LTR Relief Trip Lord willing, Mary Jo, Brian “The Tool Man Brodil”, Saul (correctly spelled Sawl) and I will be taking Relief Ministries back on the road for about a month beginning October 8th. We will be traveling back to Apison, TN where we will be helping with the ongoing tornado relief efforts there. We will once again be blessed to stay at Apison United Methodist Church and will be serving with local volunteers as we did a couple of months ago. It sounds as if most of the work will involve the rebuilding process, as many of the residents can’t afford to purchase materials and pay someone to do the labor. There are also some trees that still need to be cut and removed. The community is very excited that we are returning! Jim and Martha, two servants from CA that joined us the last time we were there, have just left the area from their second trip, having done the same and we heard great reports from all they did there. We will be in Apison for about three weeks. From there we will head back to Jacksonville, NC, where we recently helped with Hurricane Irene relief. There may still be some cleanup work to be done and we will also be doing some general maintenance and light construction at Calvary Chapel Jacksonville, the church that so lovingly took us in when we were there a few weeks ago. We want to bless them with our service and spend some more time ministering to those in the area, especially the men and women who so sacrificially serve our nation in the Marines and Navy. After that, we will be home for a little less than two weeks and then it’s off to NYC for the Annual Bowery Thanksgiving Outreach. We will take a team of fifteen in to help prepare and serve over 12,000 meals in one week! Several people have expressed interest in joining our relief efforts in the past but haven’t been able to leave their families, ministries, and/or employers at such short notice. We already have several people who have told us that they will be joining us in Tennessee while we are there and we are looking for more servants! If you are interested in helping out in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us as soon as you can. Thanks for all your prayers and support. Proclaiming the Lord in all we do, In season and out of season.
