God's Helping Hands Mississippi Bound

Around 6:30 this morning the phone began ringing about the status of the Mississippi. Around 7:30 Bob called and said I think we need to go help with battening down the hatches and try to move the kitchen and bunkhouses out of harms way. So by 8:30 everyone had been reached and were making last minute preparations. By 10:30 they were at the Tennessee Welcome Center ready to pull out. Present were Bob Turner, Randy Camper, Teddy Summit, Hugh Wise and Tony McKenna. They were ready to head down and help in any way they can even if it means getting into the path of the storm.

Received an update around 1:30 pm and they had made it almost to Chattanooga and had stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrell. Hugh and Teddy are riding together, Randy and Tony are together and Bob is in the 18 wheeler with a flatbed. They are making good progress.

Around 7:30 received a call from Randy and they have made it over the Mississippi line. They are going to shut the roads down to inbound traffic in the morning so they are trying to get there before that happens. Will call when they arrive at Lakeshore. They are going to be filling up with gas as gas is more scarce the closer you get to the coast especially on the interstate.

Right now we just need to unite in prayer and the belief that God is with them and that He is in control. There is a purpose in everything. How do we know that God had us prepared to move to save the kitchen and stuff because it is going to be needed to help after the storm is passed. He knows the end from the beginning. Let us just pray that God will use them to touch lives as He puts divine protection around them. I'll update the blog as soon as I hear anything.
