The elders and minister of the Turnpike Church of Christ in Santa Barbara, CA. were here at the Pepperdine lectures until they were called home this morning due to mandatory evacuations from the wildfires. I spoke with one of the elders today immediately after they arrived at their daughters home from evacuating. He gave me a few updates letting me know that 3 of the 5 elders were under mandatory evacuations as well as the area that the church building is in as of this morning. The fire has split with the west side being the one that is of most concern to all of them. This is the one that has potential of affecting so many houses. Currently DRT is on standby. We could go in at a moments notice with the mobile kitchen to begin serving food to those that have been evacuated as well as to firefighters
There have also been many severe storms moving across the midwest today bringing tornadic activity causing damage in several towns in Missouri. We will keep you informed on this as well.
Please continue to check back often for updates.
