The Semi load of supplies from Disaster Relief Nashville will now arrive here at the Eastside Church of Christ on Wednesday then the distribution will began. The lunch program and cleanup will begin when families are allowed to go back to their property. We are not sure when that will be yet. There have been around 350 homes destroyed and a large number of others with damage. Today after service at Eastside we had meeting for any who had questions or wanted to sign up to volunteer. We had a very nice number of members willing to help. This afternoon Elder form Mountain View Church of Christ picked me up and took me to evening service there. I gave presentation of our work and what the plan was for this area. At the end a very nice number of members signed up to help. Both Eastside and Mountain View are very interested in how they can be involved with outreach to the families affected by the fires. If things here are like they were at the Bastrop fires last year, it might be a few weeks before major cleanup begins. As all of you know we have worked 5 disasters in the past 14 months, we need your help to continue at this pace. We need three things YOUR PRAYERS, VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS.
