This morning we loaded more than 500 toys and gifts on a truck to go to Mandeville, LA to be distributed to families, tent cities, and trailers over the next couple of days. The trailer will arrive in Mandeville sometime tomorrow and the dedicated staff there will begin sorting and preparing your awesome gifts for delivery. Thank you so much for responding in this way. God has blessed us so much with the opportunity to continue to work in this ministry and each of you has answered the call in so many ways. We really appreciate your giving and loving hearts. Combined with the toys collected by Master Provisions around 3000 toys will be handed out all from the Ohio and Indiana areas. Praise God for His great works of compassion!!!!!!!!
On December 26 we have a team of 14 workers headed down to Mandeville. I have attached our workers list so that any of you who need to can review it and let me know if I have made any errors.
These workers will leave the Spring Road Building at 74 S Spring Road Westerville Ohio on Monday December 26th at 8:00 AM. They will travel to the University Church of Christ in Tuscaloosa Al. arriving around 8:00 PM that night. The congregation there has been so hospitable to us all. We thank God for their willing hearts and supplying our teams with food and a much needed place to rest. On Sunday morning the team will attend the 8:30 worship with the church and then head out to Mandeville arriving sometime in the afternoon. Your time of work will begin immediately. The staff at Mandeville will check you in and begin to identify assignments for all of you.
On Saturday morning you will begin loading up sometime after breakfast and devo and be off to Hendersonville Church of Christ in Nashville TN where you will be hosted for the night. Sunday morning you will have breakfast, worship and be on your way home back in Westerville in the late afternoon timeframe.
THINGS WE STILL NEED FOR THE UPCOMING TRIP:
- We need two trucks – preferably 250’s or bigger. We need to tow a supply box trailer and a trailer with a bobcat on it.
- I need to know if any of you going has a CDL and would be available to drive the small Northland bus
Please be in prayer for our friends at the Tammany Oaks Church of Christ. These volunteers have been working non-stop since the hurricane in August and need our support and prayers. Make sure you let them know how much we appreciate their efforts and that we love them.
God bless you all and again, thank you for responding to His call.
Because He first loved us,
Brad
