Sweet Home Alabama (plus some other news)...
Please pray for us as we travel to Montgomery, Alabama this weekend. We are building a relationship with the Landmark Church there, and are blessed to be invited to spend a weekend with the church, and join the missions committee for their meeting on Monday night. We have been able to make a few friends from this church, and are excited by their passion for mission work, and their concern for the lost and hurting. We will keep you posted.
Other news:
--The following weekend we will be interviewing with the West Erwin Church in Tyler, Texas. They are committed to sending a missionary family to the field next year.
--We have some friends at the South Baton Rouge Church of Christ
. The church is currently housing 50 displaced people from New Orleans. The children at our church here have made a donation to help the church minister to these devastated people, and are executing ambitious plans to minister to many other displaced people there. If you would like to contribute to a Christian organization on the frontlines of this disaster, follow the link above.
--I am trying to survive as a first-grade teacher, at least until a certified teacher can be hired. I love my kids, but I grieve for them as well. One of my students watched her mom's boyfriend kill her father at point blank with a shotgun. Others are dealing with incarcerated parents, abuse, drugs in the home, other family members dying, etc.. My heart is broken daily.
