Dear Friends and Family:
I know many of you are already deep in prayer about the situation in the
Gulf Coast. Many of you may not know that the third largest responding
agency to disasters is The North American Mission Board. Already many teams
from all over the nation have been dispatched---they have been asked to
provide 300,000 meals to rescue workers, ect....Later they will be sending
building crews---these are made up of lay leaders from Southern Baptist
churches all over our state and nation.
Several of the convoys that have left their states (including Georgia) have
been robbed and been unable to deliver much needed supplies.
Also, I just received word from John that two of our workers have been shot.
Please take a moment to lift these two workers up to the Father and pray for
our nation and this area
Please take time together tonight as a family to intercede for pastors who
have lost their homes and churches, for relief workers and the whole
situation.
Please pray for The North American Mission Board---for wisdom.
Thanks and love,
donna avant
Does NAMB have send out email newsletters? If so I'm going to have to sign up on it.
