These last two days have been historic and destructive. The flood of the century devastated the counties just north of us and hit our county hard. Thankfully, our people affected by the flood were able to secure their possessions and will be able to return safely to their homes. But many of our neighbors will be a long time in recovering from the flooding. Farms and businesses are on hold or left with difficult choices.
There are no immediate housing needs for our church family but there will certainly be community and county needs in the next few days and weeks, so keep your prayers lifted and check back often to see how you can help. Please take care in your travel since many roads are covered and we don’t know all the damage to our bridges or structures.
Also, pray for our mission team in Mexico. We haven’t been able to contact them in the last 2 days and they return this week. The Steve and Darlene Browning have no idea of the damage done to their Columbus home. When we learn more of how we can help them, I will let you know.
Remember the words of the apostle James:
"Under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors." James 1:3 MSG
Look to your neighbor and show your true colors.
