For use in your church bulletin or as appropriate

I wanted to encourage you to further promote the existence of this group to potential volunteers. I continue to find people who have wanted to go and help since the hurricane, but didn't know of a venue. God will bring them, but we have to let them know where to find us. The following is the text I wrote up about Servants Unite for our mission bulletin this month. It is also a half page insert in our Sunday bulletin and was emailed to our congregation list. Please use this to reach as many people as possible through similar channels:

Servants Unite is a multi-denominational, nonprofit, Christian organization uniting the churches of central Ohio and the surrounding region in disaster relief efforts. We have formed out of a group of over 200 people from over 30 churches in our area who came together to volunteer in Louisiana and Mississippi over the last 5 months. We are working to organize our church congregations and reach out to others in the region to continue to support ongoing relief efforts on the Gulf Coast and plan our response to the next need. With tornado season and the next hurricane season approaching in a few months, time is of the essence.

You can find up to date information on our web site at http://www.servantsunite.org. Our blog, http://servantsunite.blogspot.com, details our work with several updates per week. Be sure to check out the postings from the week of January 16th when we were there and follow the links on the 1/22 posting to all the pictures we captured of our experience. Our entire history is in the blog. We had a very successful week and helped many people who really needed to know that we and Christ still care about them. There is a huge demand still for people who can go and do that. Volunteers are the most sought after resource, even above food and cash, and will continue to be for months more. Your time working or financial support sending others down will have a huge impact on the lives and hearts of some very hurt, but hopeful people who are victims of this storm.
