Update of our past few weeks work

After spending a couple of weeks in south Texas visiting with several churches about our Disaster Assistance work, on April 4 I left for Yazoo City, MS, to serve food to folks affected by the tornado which struck that town on April 2. We were there until May 4 when we received a call for help from the Antioch Church of Christ in Nashville after that area was hit by the “1000 year flood”. This was our 2nd trip to Tennessee for disaster work in just a little over a year.

We have cooked and served 6411 meals as of May 15. Don Hudson (our director of Evangelism) has conducted Bible studies with approximately 75 people. His wife, Rosemary, is our no. 1 helper with our food ministry.

We are now set up at the Western Hills Church of Christ in Nashville. We have committed to this church and to Lipscomb University that we will keep our resources here helping at least thru June 5th. The need is great as the repair and clean up efforts will go on for many months.

We need your help to be able to continue feeding the families affected and the volunteers that are helping them. Our only funding is what our brothers, sisters and churches provide. No amount is too small to help. $50 will provide a good meal to 40 people! Below is what we need from you:
Your prayers
Volunteers
Donations for food and expenses

This is also a great teaching opportunity for your children and teens. They can literally help “feed the hungry” by working on their own fundraising project (car wash, bake sale, etc.) and using to proceeds to help us buy food to keep this work going.
