Slidell Update:
Christian Church of Slidell Update
The biggest and overwhelming current need is for Slidell. The neighborhoods around the church building are disaster scenes: peoples' ruined belongings all piled high at the curb in front of every home. The Northside Church in Virginia came prepared to go door to door and distribute boxes of food and supplies to some residents there. I am sure there are still many houses there that need to mucked out (stuff thrown out and sheet rock cut out - the mold grows up the wall and the stuff has to be removed and mold killed with bleach). There is an opportunity to help a lot of people who need help over there.
If you want to come please coordinate with Jeanne if you want to stay in our building. If you are self sufficient and want to help people you can come to any Gulf Coast town and knock on some doors and you will find people who need a helping hand. We have started at our church member houses and are going to neighbors. Now we are starting to see them come to us.
There is no amount of money that can accomplish the good will and PR for our Lord that people helping people accomplishes. People are seeing the government pass out forms to fill out (and that help is needed) but they see Christians helping people. It's an awesome and wonderful thing.
