Flood Relief





I have had the privilege this week to work with the Red Cross in their flood relief efforts in the Nashville area and it has truly been a blessing!

It is very fulfilling to help alleviate the burden these folks are going through in whatever small way that we can.

I was moved by the sincere gratitude of many of the recipients of what we had to give and their expressions of thankfulness and "God bless you's" were certainly uplifting as we worked to supply their needs with what we had to give.

How wonderful it is to see God's good that He brings out of such destruction and loss! What an opportunity we have to live out the gospel in times like these and to show forth just a small portion of the abundant grace that Christ has poured on us every day of our lives!

Missional, practical Christianity is most definately a tiring and a strengthening experience all at the same time.

Thanks be to God for His work of mercy to us and through us in this world!
