Tuesday

We are continuing to focus on taking care of teams as they come in to work providing food, lodging and food for them.  We are also continuing to sort through donations as they come and get them where they need to go.  We are also making all the resources available to those who come and pick items up.  Our biggest need right now is for teams and individuals to come and help organize and sort the donations that have come in as well as help get them to the areas where they are needed the most.  If you would like to bring a team or come individually please call me at 620-202-3257.  We can also house your workers here if needed.

Weekend Update

We had a good weekend @galenaassembly. Preached on What's Left? 1Corinthians 13:13, Faith, Hope, and Love. We want to be encouraging people and building faith and hope through the love of Christ. A lot of new faces in the services. To give you an update on needs we are needing drinks other than water a personal toiletry items, food, sunscreen for those out going through homes and survivors sorting through the destruction. We are hearing that many other places are turning away donations. We WILL not. The needs are going to be ongoing for months and we want to make sure we have what people need. Have a great day! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Joplin Tornado

This week has been very hectic with all the chaos caused by the tornado 6 days ago. The response has been unbelievable and overwhelming. At Galena Assembly we are focusing our efforts on being a resourcing point for victims and other shelters and a resting and rejuvenating place for workers. We are housing many of the Convoy of Hope workers as well as workers for many other outlets. Some teams are getting in to work but the bulk will be allowed in early next week. The needs are great as we continue to meet needs. On a personal note, this is definitely the most devastating natural disaster I have ever seen. Please continue to pray for the victims, the families affected, those that are missing and those who have the difficulty of identifying bodies. Pray for an overwhelming presence of God to be in churches all over the area tomorrow. Lots of healing and hope needs to be given to those in our churches tomorrow. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
