HURRICANE ISAAC

Our plan for the month of September was to have some down time.  You know...time to re-group after a very busy spring and summer season of volunteers, but, God had other plans (Proverbs 19:21)  Hurricane Isaac hit Louisiana as a category 1 storm with loads of rain and took over 2 days to move out of La, causing rivers to overflow their banks and the lake to rise and flood homes that have never flooded before.  God allowed the ministry to activate our Mobilize network and strengthen our partnership with local churches by allowing us to serve in the unique mission field that follows a crisis.  We have had teams serve since the weekend after the storm passed and more are scheduled to come to serve those in need and share the Love of Christ!  The local churches are being asked to serve with us on 3 Saturdays coming up on 9/22/12, 10/6/12 and 10/20/12.  Call me for details...office 985.893.0218  cell 985.705.2416



 
Some homes in  LaPlace look like homes in N.O. after Hurricane Katrina (left) and some look like the one on the right.  All belong to hurting people!

KRA’S

TouchGlobal Annual Planning Meetings  -  Our whole team (pictured below) gathered together last week to celebrate all that the Lord has accomplished through ministry last year and to pray about what the Lord has planned for next year and to learn together how best to serve one another.  Please join us in prayer as we earnestly listen for the voice of Holy Spirit to guide our steps as we search for opportunities after a crisis to present the whole Gospel to the whole person in intentional relationships with those who do not know Jesus Christ.
