Tornado Relief Effort

Most people in Alabama have had one thing on their mind in the last week...How can we help?  We hurt for those who hurt and want desperately to help pick up the pieces of so many lives.  I know Joe and I have struggled with what we can do, as have many we have talked to.  While there are several ways to volunteer and get involved I keep hearing how many donations and PRAYER that the victims and those serving are needing right now!

A friend reminded me of this great truth and Joe and I have committed to praying fervently for those involved with the Tornado Relief Effort.  

However, there are several material needs out there!!  One organization that is keeping everyone up to date with donation needs is Christian Service Mission.  If you have Facebook or Twitter, find them and follow them!  Then, if you are able to, go grab a few items and take them down to the Mission!  No amount is too small.  I keep getting hit with the fact that their "needs" are the small things that I take advantage of.  I don't question needing deodorant, or kleenex, or diapers and food for Larkin.  Yet SO many have been left without these basic necessities.

Another site that is sharing relief info is a new blog created for MBCC Missions!  So many of our dear friends at church have wondered how they could know more about the missionaries (both global and local) that our church supports.  Our Mission Pastor and many others have been working hard to figure out the best ways to educate our church and community on Global and Local Missions opportunities.  So here it is....(drumroll please)....
