I had the privilege to spend this past weekend with the good people in and around Prattville, Alabama during their On Mission Celebration. If you've been watching the news lately, you'll know that Prattville was hit hard by tornadoes just over a week ago. However, none of the Southern Baptist churches were damaged despite the amount of devastation in the area. So, with clean-up and disaster relief still commencing, I along with 30 other missionaries from North American and overseas shared what God is doing in our particular corner of the world. At their mission fair on Saturday night, I met a young lady who was part of a team that helped us put on a block party for Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in New Orleans East. I was using a couple of photos of that event on my display and she immediately recognized the images. One of my joys as a missionary is to meet people in unexpected places who have given their time to assist in the work that God is doing in the New Orleans area. Continue to pray for the recovery efforts in the Prattville area and for the witnessing opportunities that naturally arise from such events.
