GREAT NEWS IN FINDLAY, OHIO

The below is from Laura(CoC Disaster Response Team)

There have been close to 600 people helped so far here in Findlay, Ohio.
Since my last post we've had volunteers from the Mid-County Church of Christ in Troy, Ohio, Marion, Ohio, and another group from Norval Park Church of Christ in Zanesville, Ohio. We currently have a group from the Cox Blvd. Church of Christ in Sheffield, AL. and tomorrow have groups coming from Richmond Church of Christ in Richmond, KY. and from the Southgate Church of Christ. Saturday we have a couple coming from Huntsville, AL that will be bringing supplies.

We are so thankful to ALL of you who are praying, coming and working, bringing supplies, sending monetary donations, etc.

THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS!!! We are having visitors that we have been helping from the community at each of the worship services on Sundays and Wednesdays. PRAISE GOD!!!!
Our prayer is that the church here will continue with the follow up and that souls will be added to the Lords church.

Disaster Response Team(Ohio Flood)

We are now in Findlay, Ohio working with the Bright Rd. Church of Christ following the recent floods. Over 4,000 structures have been affected here and many are without flood insurance.
We have a few of our coordinators with us. Harry and Shirley Mansfield from Texas and Marge Wood from Lancaster, Ohio are here with us coordinating the relief efforts.
Volunteers are needed to help with distribution, answering phones, assessment, bleaching houses, helping with clean up and debris removal and when houses are dried
out, rebuilding.
We will house you, feed you, and have the work all lined up for you when you arrive. We also have our shower trailer here!! Doesn't get any better than that, does it?!? :)

The above was taken from Laura's blog.

Sonquest in Orlando



I made it back from my trip to Ohio to deliver the shower trailer. I am now in Orlando and have a booth setup for Florida Bible Camp at the Sonquest Lectureship.

Ohio Floods

Well I got a call from Mark this morning and they need the mobile shower trailer in Ohio to help with the floods. I am packing a suite case and will be on my way in less than an hour heading that way. I need to be back in Orlando Friday morning to setup for the SonQuest Lectureship for Florida Bible Camp. If they need me to help there in Ohio I will fly back to Orlando than go back to Ohio. If I am not need I will drive back in time for Friday morning. Will update you after I get to Ohio.
