Pastors need help

In the afternoon we had an opportunity to bless a pastor. I shared after my last trip to the gulf about the small church that fed so many from their small community of believers. We talked with the pastor and they have now fed over 30,000 people.
He has not had time to spend on his own home so we went and did work for him. We cut down trees that were spilled around his yard and piled the lumber for him. We cleaned up his yard and tried to serve the one who has served so many.

Later in the afternoon we were asked to assist a family in Eastern Alabama, over 200 miles from the eye of Katrina. Judy and Bill lost everything. Their home. Their business. Their possessions were all gone. In fact they are now living in a small trailer that leaks everytime it rains. They were a family who had so much and lost it all. It was nice to assist them by cleaning up their yard as best we could and more importantly to pray with them. They were special people whose story ripped our hearts out.
