I have seen a lot of disasters over the last several years, but nothing compares to the things that have happened in Alabama.
At the same time, I have never witnessed the outpouring of support and appreciation for the work that is being done.
I have not written for the last couple of days due to the intensity of our work schedule.
Here are the stories that will come in next several days...
...the Doctor who lost his entire office building has a brand new mobile medical clinic for the community
...the four year old girl who barely escaped her bedroom when a 48" tree fell and split her bedroom in half
...the pastor who lost several of his closest friends who perished in the tornado
...the sight of a tract of land that used to be a community, but now no longer exists.
...the evidence left by the result of 265 miles per hour tornado winds
...a family of 11 who lost nearly everything now living in a small travel trailer and underneath a small tent
...a woman who narrowly escaped death when a storefront building collapsed on her car
...the scores of people who lost co-workers, friends and neighbors as a result of the tornado.
...family members who are still waiting for word on their missing loved ones.
There are more stories to be told, but finding the right words to describe them remains a challenge.
The team is doing incredible work and I am grateful for their contribution.
Please continue to pray for the people of the communities of Cordova, Hackleburg and Phil Campbell. These communities have incredible needs. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve.
Stay tuned for the stories....
