SOUTHERN BAPTIST DISASTER RELIEF

I am excited to be part of the Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief Team. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is the 3rd largest non-profit relief organization in America along with the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Our team from Tates Creek Association in Kentucky has been to Pascagoula several times since Katrina to help with rebuilding and cleaning up along the Gulf Coast. We are always so blessed when we go to be able to show the love of Christ to the people that have had their lives devastated during the hurricanes. We met the Grant family when we worked on their house that was 5 blocks from the gulf. The house didn't have wind damage but had flood damage. We had to take everything out of the attic so that Mason, the electrician that was on our team could re-wire the house. Imagine our shock when we found a coffin in the attic! Turns out one of the Grant's sons was in the drama club and the coffin was a prop from a play! We went back the next year to help them get moved back into their home. One of the greatest ways God blesses us when we serve Him by serving others is to let us meet such sweet, sweet people who are so glad to have our help. A couple of weeks ago we had an ice storm that left us with out electricity all over the state, lots of trees down etc., and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams from several states including Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia sent chain saw crews up here to help us! We are all neighbors and we are all the body of Christ and I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful organization.
