HAVE YOU MET MS. MARGE??

This is my new attempt to try to keep up with this blog!! :)
Things get hectic and I don't take the time to sit down and type like I should, do I Wanda and Lynn?? :)

Have I told you recently how amazing you all are? Mark and I are so blessed to know all of you!

Before I go into the nitty gritty of disaster relief, I'd like to tell you about one of our AMAZING volunteers...............Her name is Marge Wood. She is affectionately referred to around here as none other than Marge the Sarge. Marge is from Lancaster, Ohio and we are very thankful to her congregation for allowing her to be with us! I'm sure she is being very missed at home and you'd agree if you saw all the wonderful cards she is getting from her home congregation. I don't know what we'd do without her. She is one of those special volunteers that will do anything that is asked of her. Well....actually she doesn't have to be told what to do, she looks around and just takes care of what needs done. Whether it is cleaning the restrooms, getting the rooms ready for our volunteers, shopping for the food for the continental breakfast that is provided, getting up early to put the coffee on and get the continental breakfast ready, putting care packs together, being her wonderful cheerful self welcoming the volunteers coming in and occasionally cooking evening meals for all of us. We love Ms. Marge and would like for all of you to meet her too, here's how:

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

Much is being accomplished because of the many wonderful volunteers who have come in to help. The church is making a wonderful impact on the gulf coast area. Houses are being rebuilt, friends are being made, Bible studies are being taught, and many are obeying the gospel! PRAISE GOD!!

Please be a part of this wonderful mission. You don't need a passport and you don't need any special skills other than Loving our LORD. You can help for a day, a week, a month.......
