VOLUNTEERS--THE LIFELINE

Debris is getting cleaned up.. So far 15, 500 truck loads of debris have been taken to the dump. That is alot of debris!

YOUR MEAL IS NOW SERVED......Volunteers have been very busy working in the DRT mobile kitchen preparing and serving meals everyday in Greensburg to the tornado survivors as well as other volunteers and workers. We are receiving an excellent response to these home cooked meals and hundreds of meals are being served.

Thanks to the volunteers from KENTUCKY, KANSAS, TEXAS, ARIZONA, OHIO, NEBRASKA and OKLAHOMA coming to work with DRT much is being accomplished! Volunteers have helped the survivors dig through their belongings to find pictures, cherished heirlooms, money, you name it....they are helping them find it. They have also been sitting, talking and mainly listening with the survivors when they come to eat. This has been very theraputic for the community.

The volunteers have been also hauling debris to the street, working in fields to remove debris so the fields can be prepared. They've been working in the church building helping with distribution of supplies....they've been very busy....all the while being a shining light to the community in the name of Our Lord.



I'm working on getting pictures for the blog. When I left home I happened to grab the wrong cord that goes from the camera to the computer and the closest Wal-Mart is about 35 miles away. I'm working on making it over there to have a disc made.



There are quite a few people in Greensburg with a sense of humor though. We see signs in front of houses that are all down except for maybe one room with a realtor sign in front that says "OPEN HOUSE" I thought that was pretty cute.

There was a house in the middle of the road when we first got here, someone had put red shoes sticking out from under the house and a witches hat beside it. Perfect for Kansas. I have pictures. Just have to get them on here for you.



These survivors have to keep a sense of humor or life is very difficult to continue on. There is such complete devastation and destruction. Please continue to keep all these in your prayers as well as those of us that are ministering to them.



Funding is needed to continue here in Kansas as well as funding for upcoming 2007 storms. You may do so online through our website http://www.churchesofchristdrt.org or by postal may to:
