On our way to Tennessee

We arrived in Yazoo City, MS, less than 24 hours after the tornado struck on April 24 and have been serving lunches each day since then. We have just been contacted by Antioch Church of Christ in Antioch, TN. They would like to have our assistance in helping the surrounding areas affected by flooding. So we will be finishing up here in Yazoo City, MS tomorrow and heading to Antioch tomorrow night to start cooking meals and helping in other areas on Wednesday. The Yazoo City Church of Christ is now set up to handle volunteers and they have food and other supplies to hand out. This afternoon our ministry partner Don Hudson (minister of the church in Howell, TN) will be reviewing with the church leaders the 30 people he has been doing Bible studies with with so they can do the follow up.

Our mission needs 3 things to continue to operate
1- Your Prayers
2- Volunteers
3- Funds

We can continue to do this work of feeding hungry people whose lives have been devastated by disasters only with the financial support of our brothers and sisters across the U.S. We came to Yazoo City on faith and very little funds because the need was there. Right now we are cooking on fumes and we need your help. Donations may be made via our website: www.disasterassistancecoc.com OR

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, ..." Matt. 25:35

Please pass this information on to anyone who might be able to help our efforts to feed hungry people. Please pray for the thousands of people whose lives have been forever changed by diasters and for us as we show the love of the Lord to them by just providing a simple meal.
