Dwayne and I got back to Florence last night around 7:30. The kids are now on the road, but there is no telling what time they will get back . . . Will depend on how many “rest stops” they have to take.
As I wrote before, we made a difference. A big one. We helped chisel the list down a little more. The disaster relief office will pull out in October, after THREE years of operation. They are winding down projects and bringing things to a close. But the needs will go on! Pray for the people of the gulf coast . . . Things are FAR from normal.
First Baptist Church, Bay St Louis, now has a concrete foundation for their new sanctuary. That is all they have, but the work is slowly moving. They still do not know if they will be able to use volunteers in the construction of the new building (liability issues). Pray for Rev Al Green and the people of FBC.
The Southern Baptist disaster relief folks were telling me they hate to pull out, but they have to begin preparations for the next disaster. Apparently we are due for a big hit this year. Pray for us, that God WILL be our refuge and strength, and that WE will answer the call everytime we get it.
