Team 12 on the road to disaster ;-)

In a real way! Team 12 left the Spring Road Church building at 2:00 this afternoon 19 members strong. As of 6:00 they had cleared Louisville Kentucky on their way to Hendersonville Tennesse, a northern suburb of Nashville.

Last night Hendersonville and neighboring communities were stricken by some powerful storms and tornados. At this time there is not a need for the team to stay in the Nashville area to help there, but options are open. In the morning, they will make the decision to stay and help if areas of need are opn to them or head on to Louisiana where we know work waits for them.

Two people have expressed interest in spending a few days this week in the Nashville area and we have chainsaws lined up. If you can help out when severely damaged areas are opened up, call or email to the information on the right. We'll keep you informed of specific plans and needy areas.

Remember also that Western Tennessee hit last Sunday evening is still in need of volunteers and assistance. Tell your neighbors, friends, family, coworkers, and church family about the opportunities available with Servants Unite. Many are available and only need to know of an avenue to volunteer in these efforts. Servants Unite's focus is on getting them there.

Keep monitoring this blog for Team 12's activities and information on any teams we send into Tennessee.
