Fr. Jim's Log 9/6

We had a slow start without many supplies to hand out. But The Members of Holy Cross Anglican in Baton Rouge were incredible!!! They handed out what they had especially water that they brought. Every thing picked up when the BBQ Pork meals showed up from Hammond (Operation BBQ Relief).

We handed out 300 plates in approximately 45 mins- wow!!
Thank you Holy Cross- we could not do this without you!

We would not be in business without the help of North American Lutheran Church Disaster Response team with their donations of cleaning supplies, quilts, personal hygiene supplies and so on!! Now we have their Shower trailer.

Now the opportunity to help in a totally different way with the shower trailer. Thank you.

On the Northshore, we distributed 50 meals to the Goodbee Fire Dept and 50 meals to St. Tammany Parish Hospital ER.

Prayer requests:

1. A mother asked us to pray for her 13 yr old son who needs a kidney transplant in New Orleans.
2. For God’s Holy Spirit to guide us, strengthen us, fill us with hope and peace beyond all measures.
3. That we can meet the needs of Samaritan’s Purse as they bring in volunteer groups.
4. And a special prayer of thanksgiving for Mel, Margaret and Joe for their hard work and support. Thank you guys.

Upcoming:
The NALC offered to send the cleaning buckets and supplies directly to us, and we are looking into having a Boy Scout troup from the Northshore put them together here in Louisiana. Thank you Tommy Lamb and Jaques Walker for your work on that.
