Mary Jewell is one of our precious ladies that is always up for an adventure.  She trained with the Red Cross and with Virginia Baptist to be able to help during crisis situations.  She was notified about heading to Texas for Hurricane Ike relief.  She left September 14-24.  She is there to be on the front lines to feed people in need.  Her team has fed 7,000 people during her trip so far.  She said it was has been hot, but a blessing to serve.  I am amazed at people like Mary who prepare themselves for God’s call. 

I also heard from Julius and Cheryl George.  They just so happened to be visiting family in New Orleans during the same time.  They headed over to Texas and shared that the real struggle is no electricity and no ability to pump ga. They shared they would keep us updated in how we help in the days to come. 

Let’s keep being the church!
