Supplies Needed During Weeks Without Power
Sept 18, 2008
Just a word to let all of our supporters know that Life Church (Life World Outreach Ministries) has recovered from minimal damage from Hurricane Gustav and at most a week of inconvenience without electricity. Others in our extended family were not so fortunate.
We just received word that the town of Crosby, Texas which is just east of Houston, received major damage during Hurricane Ike. Pastor Keenan Smith of Crosby Church, who is a member of Team Impact and a longtime friend of Pastor Val’s, tells us the area will be weeks without power. This also means no businesses are in operation which means few people are able to work to generate their usual income. At this time there is only one grocery store open for a town of 30,000 people.
Life Church is preparing to assist this area which we know are in true need. Below is a list of supplies needed:
1-FOOD (PERISHABLES AND NON PERISHABLES AS THE CHURCH WILL BE COOKING AND SUPPLYING TO THOSE WITHOUT POWER)
2-MRE’S (MEALS READY TO EAT)
3-TARPS
4-EMERGENCY SUPPLIES SUCH AS FLASHLIGHTS, BATTERIES, BATTERY OPERATED RADIOS
5-TOILETRIES
6-PAPER GOODS
7-OUTDOOR COOKING SUPPLIES
8-BEDDING SUCH AS AIR MATTRESSES, SLEEPING BAGS (THE CHURCH WILL ALSO BE HOUSING TEAMS FOR RECOVERY WORK)
Donations may be mailed to us at Life Church marked “Keenan Smith” or directly to Pastor Keenan Smith at the addresses below. Please give as your heart directs. Please call me at (225) 772-2441. if you have any questions or would like to donate items.
