Weekly Recap

It has been a very busy week. We left Texas Saturday morning and arrived in Southern
Indiana Sunday evening. As soon as we arrived we went to meeting with church leaders.
Big Springs CoC called and asked us to come after recommendation from church we
helped last year. We met at Northside Coc in Jeffersonville, In. Big Springs and Northside are the two churches that are taking the lead for this mission work. We are working with many churches in several different communities as well. In just 3days this week we have served 1362 meals. Today it rained all day but we still had 2 large groups outdoing chainsaw in the rain. Today we had a 53’ ref truck setup here by the Mobile Headquarters. I won’t know what to do with all that space. We also had two loads of other misc supplies delivered today. We have well over 100 volunteers scheduled to help here on Saturday. Northside and Big Springs feel we should be prepared to serve 2000 meals. Here are some of the areas wehave been working in: Pekin, Heneryville, Marysville,Salem, Fredricksburg, New Piken, Palmyra and Chelsa. There are more supplies coming intomorrow. We can continue to dothis 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.

Please pass thisinformation on to everyone on your email and Facebook list , take it to your church and business, you never know who might be willing to help us. Pleasep ray for the thousands of people whose lives have been forever changed and forus as we show the love of the Lord to them by just providing a simple meal.

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

Please keep the familiesthat have been hurt by these storms in your prayers.

Well it is raining pretty here right now. We have lots of volunteers waiting to go out.

Today we served 462 meals and had many groups out helping with cleanup and repairs. Tomorrow we have a 53' refrigerator truck being setup here at the Mobile Headquarters.

We need Funds to keep the below working going. Please help us if you can.

Very busy day today. We served 450 meals. Had multi teams of volunteers out working on cleanup. So far we have over 100 volunteers scheduled to be here this weekend. Photo below is volunteers at the Disaster Assistance Headquarters for there work assiments. Later this week refrig truck and misc supply trailer will be here on site. Disaster Assistance Mission is working along with multi churches in many areas Big Springs, Pekin, Palmyra, Fredricksburg, salem, Marysville, Henryville and others.

Very busy today we started out surveying the area but as you can see from the photo below it was difficult to see much with the snow. We had 3 groups out working mostly chainsaw work today. We than started looking for a site to setup the mobile headquarters in Pekin, IN. We found a great site right down town. Than we went back to Jeffersonville picked up everything and headed back to Pekin and setup. The owner of the spot has three metal carports there and is letting us use 2 of them to setup tables and chairs for people to set and eat. Than it was off to Sams to get supplies to cook for 800 meals.
The three things we need are your prayers, volunteers and funds. We are going to start feeding here on site and taking meals out into the community tomorrow.

Ready and waiting for the group to get here so we can head out and survey the damaged areas.

-Disaster Assistance-Southern Indiana Tornadoes-

I arrived here at Southern Indiana around 6:30 this evening and went directly into meeting with Northside CoC (Jeffersonville) and Big Spring CoC (Pekin). We are also going to be working with around 5 other churches in the area. Pekin is one of the areas that was hard hit. There is always 3 things that our Mission needs, Your Prayers, Volunteers and Funds. Areas that volunteers can help with are Meal Prep, Meal Delivery, Food and Supplies Dist and cleanup and repair. Tomorrow we are going out into the damaged towns and surveying the needs. We also have 2 groups of volunteers going out to do cleanup and repairs. If you would like to come and help just email me the dates and how many will be coming. At that time I will let you know any supplies we might need that you could bring along. Donation Information to your right.

Please keep all of the families that have been hurt by the storms this week in your prayers and also say one for me as I have over 1000 miles to drive to get there.
