Team #1 to Oklahoma Tornado Relief

On Saturday we arrived in Moore, OK ... right in the heart of the suburbs. There was such major damage in several neighborhoods.
We met many grateful people who had just lost their homes and possessions ... except their lives and hope in God. There was lots of resources of help and many volunteers from churches - locally and nationally. Most of their homes, cars and contents were covered by insurance, which provided some hope for the future.

Sunday afternoon and Monday, we arrived in McLoud OK near Shawnee ... which is a very rural area. We witnessed major damage on a much smaller scale. There was not many resources but the volunteers really started to show up (holiday weekend); to help those affected by the tornadoes. Many of these folks have no insurance and live in trailers and small homes in isolation. These victims really were relying on family, friends, and volunteers from the local church for their basic needs and daily necessities.

My observations of the situation there this past weekend: The Church of the Lord Jesus is alive and well - being the hands and feet of Jesus; doing good works that He prepared in advance for us to do. Eph 2:10
