Conference Team Heads to Gulf Coast

enlarge>>

These conference members and clergy answered an urgent call to the Gulf Coast. They left on October 2nd and planned to return on October 10th after spending several days in Biloxi and the surrounding areas helping out with whatever needed to be done. They cut up debris and hauled it away, they cooked meals for victims and volunteers, and they ministered to all.

These photos are the first ones received. Please pray for their safe return and what gift you could possibly give to our brothers and sisters in the Gulf Coast. Many teams will be needed in the next several months, maybe you could volunteer to be on one of these teams. If that isn't possible, there are many many ways to help. Please continue to check this site for the evolving needs and ways that we can help.
