I love to see pictures of people standing in prayer while holding hands in the midst of rubble left by a tornado.  Let’s not wait until a disaster hits before we do what God has called us to do.

Can you please put Sarah Kyzar Kimble on the prayer link? She is from this area and is in North Oaks and not doing good. That is all I know. I was just asked if I could get you to add her name.

Thank you!!

Also, add Mrs. Jerrie Pulliam to your prayer list.  Her son said she got her feet tangled.  She’s in room 24 at Hood Memorial undergoing tests.

It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold.”

Missions – Continue to pray for the people of OK and those who are volunteering to help them recover from the EF5 tornado.  Be sure to get your donations in to FBC, Amite or the designated place nearest you.  I’ve just heard about Southern Baptist Disaster Relief twice in the last five minutes on television.  I’m thankful our work is available in times of need and meaningful to many families.  Especially pray for chaplains who will also be deployed.  May they use this awful event to help people find the Lord.
