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,
XXXXX XXXXX
You've got freepmail..need more info on this ASAP especially the hijacked convoy.
Yikes! NAMB is one of the organizations we've given to, as well as the Sally Army and others. I think it was FOX's Jeff Goldblatt who said the Baptist men were the first on the ground to help immediately after Katrina blew through, as early as Monday afternoon. God bless and protect them as they try to help. Wow.
I'm now concerned about Smaritan's Purse's convoys and volunteers.
Prayers for all the relief agencies,volunteers and the people invoved.
