I MISSED YOU !!

It's been quite awhile since I've blogged!! I miss talking to you :) I was waiting on updates to give you and at times......things move slowly and changes have to be made.
Our saying is....."Welcome to a disaster area"

As I stated in my last post, we are helping the Division St. Church of Christ in Biloxi. We have made the decision to actually "set up" a relief effort at the Bay St. Louis Church of Christ. They have welcomed us with open arms. We will be distributing supplies out of our 40 x 100 tent on the Bay St. Louis church property rather than directly in Biloxi. We felt the area we planned to set up in, in Biloxi was not safe enough for our volunteers so we've made the decision to go west.
HOWEVER......we will still be helping the Biloxi congregation and working from Biloxi to Bay St. Louis out of the Bay St. Louis location.

All the needs that were stated in the last post are still the same, just needed in the
Bay St. Louis location. Bay St. Louis still has people living in tents and there is a desperate need in this entire area.


We will be moving all of our RV's to Bay St. Louis tomorrow as well as setting up the tent. Please continue to pray for these efforts!! The following is what is still needed in all of our locations.
