Dear Family & Friends,
It is hard to believe that it has been six months since I last served with World Renew. At that time it was in Coal City, IL with the World Renew - Needs Assessment Team.
God has placed a tug on my heart again to serve. This time with the World Renew - Rapid Response Team in Franklinton, LA. There has been extreme flooding in the area which is in the northeast corner of what I call the "toe" of Loisiana state boot.
It is always amazing to me how God works. I do not know why it always amazes me but it does. He is so good! Eight years ago I served with our church youth group in Franklinton, LA after Katrina and the local leaders were the same as they are now. I am thankful to be serving along side them once again. I am sorry that their area has been flooded, this time not from a hurricane, but from an extreme amount of rain that swelled the rivers.
If you would please pray for our team of six. We will begin to travel to Louisiana on Monday, March 27th. It will take us a day and a half to travel. We will serve with the local teams until April 12th and begin our travels home on the 13th arriving home on the 14th of April.
Things to pray for: for the families that we will be serving who have lost so much, for healing for the families, for traveling mercies, for us as we serve physically, emotionally and spiritually, for safety as we work. Please pray for our families that remain at home, who support us as our team serves.
Luke 10: 27 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And Love your neighbor as yourself."
Serving with World Renew is one way that God calls me to serve our neighbors. If you would like more information about World Renew Disaster Response Service please see their website from the link on the side of the page or at: http://www.worldrenew.net/drs
