After watching the events of May 20th unfold in Moore,Oklahoma, my friend Stacy and I decided that if it were meant to be, she and I would head to Oklahoma to help in the clean up. God certainly worked out the details for us! As a result, we landed at Captiol Hill Baptist Church. It is one of many churches in the area to offer relief supplies, a place to shower and get a meal. |
 |
Through out the week, Stacy and I picked up debris, travelled to Little Axe and McLoud to help organize relief supplies(This area was hit with a tornado on May 19.), went to the neighborhoods delivering door to door(or what was once door to door) Buckets Of Love that were filled with relief supplies, and delivered Chick-Fil-A sandwiches to all those who were working overtime to restore electricity and water...and we prayed for the children who are so traumatized. |
 |
These are just a "few" of the corporations who are involved in the relief efforts. Kelloggs dropped off a ton of cereal at the church. Chick-Fil-A also dropped off hundreds of sandwiches that we delivered to home owners going through the rubble of their belongings. Tide (Procter and Gamble) was there to do laundry. |
 |
Our observation is that Oklahoma is filled with faithful and prayerful people. It was good to be surrounded by them. |
 |
Another observation is that Oklahomans also have a great sense of humor! |
 |
When we left, we were completely unaware of the fantastic blessings God had in store for us...Thank you Terry (Betsy), Hannah, Sarah, and Sam! |
 |
Thank you Clarence, Janie, and George (Linda) |
 |
And Jerry and Chloe...Stacy and I were prepared to camp out at the church in sleeping bags. What a blessing to be the recipients of her love and nightly prayers. God has gifted her with hospitality. |
