While we are continuing our work in the gulf coast area, we are also in the process of getting ready for this current hurricane season. I thought this would be a good time to let you know some things that are needed for Katrina as well as any other disasters that may head our way.
1. Laptop computers
2. Drivers that can be on call to take disaster vehicles (1-ton or less trucks pulling trailers) into a staging area 1-2 days before a hurricane actually hits (the staging areas are in a safe location and out of harms way) This is for "Immediate Response" Vehicles. All others are as noted.
3. Drivers that have a tractor to pull our 2 semi trailers to the disaster location (1 semi will need to be there 2 days following a disaster, the other semi will need to be there within 1 week.
The following is a list of vehicles that will need to go into a disaster area. All the trailers, etc. are ready, we just need drivers who can use their own truck to pull them. If you are interested in being on call to bring one, please email us at www.disasterrelief@hotmail.com or www.markcremeans@churchesofchristdrt.org

WEST TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS!!!
ENCOURAGING!!
That is how I would describe this week. We have approximately 200 volunteers from 13 congregations in the West Tennesee area. They are an amazing group and are really working for the LORD. The congregations represented are: Clarksburg, Huntingdon, West Dyersburg, McKenzie, Maple Hill, Troy, Campbell St., Estes, Main St., Sitka and Starkville.
Below are some comments from a couple of the volunteers. We will feature more in the coming days.
I saw Jesus in a friend being willing to take the last shower of the group after being one of the hardest workers......Jeffrey -- Starkville, Ms.
We arrived at our worksite, Ralph P. home, we were talking to him. He said we probably could not do much work he had been trying to get a electrician for 10 mths. We told him we had an electrician with us. He started to cry, that was worth my trip. I had to walk away to keep from losing it. I saw Jesus at work today with these kids...annonymous
This little boy came and he studied us for a while, while we were having our devotional and while we were singing. Then he just wanted to work with us. He didn't want to leave! At first when I started I was tired & didn't want to work & when the boy came I was like if he can work & he is way smaller than me, then so can I! It was neat.......Jennifer -- Martin, TN.
Watch for more of these wonderful comments.
