ENCOURAGING

This is the word that comes to mind as I think of all of you who are so giving of your time and resources to help those in Greensburg, Kansas. You have prayed, hauled trailers, put together care packs, sent funding, loaded trailers, you've pulled brush and debris, cooked meals, cut down trees, sat and listened with an understanding ear to the disaster survivors...the list goes on and on. Thanks to John McGuire and his son for getting one of our supply trailers where it needed to be and then loading it :)

We are so appreciative to Luther and Patty Honey for making sure our shower and kitchen trailers got out here to Kansas from our Florida base site.

We've been very busy and have had some terrific help in the kitchen. Today we served a total of about 125. The number has been increasing daily as people find out we are serving food. You have to remember NO ONE lives in Greensburg right now. There is an 8:00 - 8:00 curfew and EVERYONE including homeowners have to be out. So we are serving food to homeowners who come in to work on their property, county and city workers, volunteers, etc.



We've also been having a great response in volunteers coming in to haul debris to the street, help people go through their belongings, cut down trees, etc. Many families are being helped and hearts are being touched.

I write this section with a heavy heart. Today Mark was talking to a man who had stopped by for dinner. He had a broken knee cap and damaged leg, as they were talking to him they learned that his injuries were sustained by a guardrail coming through the house. The guardrail had killed this man's wife as it came barreling through the house. This man is in great emotional pain as you might imagine, PLEASE, take a moment right now and pray for him.

It is volunteers like many of you who make a difference in the lives of people like these. Please continue. DRT is here to make a difference....to show the LOVE OF JESUS. If you've done any of of the things listed in the first paragraph (and I'm sure I've left out many things) then....."YOU" are part of the team and we're thankful you are.
We're getting responses about help with the computer for Starla. If you are able to help, please email me at disasterrelief@hotmail.com

Stay tuned for more updates....
