We received this letter today and thought you might find it of interest. We hope that you will continue praying for those who lost their homes, jobs, family, cars, everything in this tragic storm. They are still dealing with the aftermath of one night's deluge and we need to remember them in prayer.
To all who helped in the purchasing of water for the Joplin relief.
A great big thank you! We had response from California to Virginia and from Texas to Michigan. About 20 responded in just 48 hrs. I appreciate the help.
Bro. Steve Willeford, Dist. Supt. Of Missiouri called me to say thanks for who all helped. There was also enough come in after the expense of the water to send both Bro. Buchanan (Peace Tab) and Bro. Stoddart (Christian Life) checks for $500.00 each to use as they needed.
A big thanks to David Duncan and Pastor Ross’s wife from the Pentecostals of Parker County in Weatherford, TX for supplying some manpower and the truck to pull the trailer!
We were also able to take Pastor Buchanan and his family out for a supper meal. They really were exhausted.
Continue to pray for them and the airborne fungus that seems to be an issue in Joplin at this time. The devastation was overwhelming. The pictures online did not do justice once we were on sight and seen everything. We wept at all the homeless people walking around in a daze, even though it was a week after the tragedy.
Peace Tabernacle (Pastor Buchanan) is a relief location for food, water and clothing and had turned their sanctuary into a distribution center. I was overwhelmed with the tireless efforts their members were making to be a help to the community.
Thank you again.
