When The Saints Go Marching In!

Please keep my friend Charlie Loftin in your prayers. Charlie (a member of HFBC and The Shed) is in New Orleans with his army unit. They were activated on Saturday, September 3, to go help with clean up and security. His access to the internet is limited, but here's a portion of a short e-mail that he was able to send:

"It is really crazy. I still can't believe I am still in the U.S. We just got a shipment of 1,000 bodybags."

Also, please keep my friends Donny and Amy McIver in your prayers. Donny and Amy (former members of HFBC) currently live in Dallas. On faith, they have decided to take a 26' rental truck filled with food and supplies to Baton Rouge -- items that they and their family members provided on their own. Donny will be helping to distribute food with Baton Rouge serving as the base of operations.


As Charlie and Donny spend time in Louisiana, please pray for divine appointments -- moments when they can minister to victims, relief workers, fellow soldiers, people they meet along the way. Pray that they would both be lights in such a dark and troubled place! Also, pray for their children and families who they will leave behind here in Texas during their relief work.
