The Bastrop Church of Christ Relief efforts continue on going into our 7th week, beginning today. We have had donations of all kinds coming in from the community, other Churches of Christ, and even those out of state as far away as Maine. We, by Gods gracious mercy and love, have been supplied with the means to help well over 1,000 families so far.
We have been blessed with volunteers from all over, on a daily basis, who have worked endlessly on sorting and organizing all the clothes, dishes, food pantry items, loading and unloading trailers of everything for basic can foods to whole bedroom suits. What a blessing and wonderful thing to see the outpouring of loving kindness, and generosity of those who lost so much in the Labor Day Fires.
We have groups of volunteers who go out and clean up the home sites as well. What a blessing it has been for those who have found themselves with nothing, being provided so much by their fellow community peers.
We are sure that God's love and compassion is being shown through all who are here volunteering and donating, in his name. What a way to reach out to the community and show them how much we do care and how much love God can bring to a community through those of his children who are willing to open their hearts and mind and let God work through them.....All Glory to God!
