Recently, tornadoes created terrible devastation in Joplin, Missouri, and other areas of the Midwest. Over 8,000 buildings in Joplin were destroyed or damaged. The Faith Assembly church facility in Joplin was destroyed, and two other AG churches were damaged. A nine year old boy from one of our churches in Galena, Kansas, was among those killed. Entire neighborhoods in Joplin were wiped out, and the infrastructure of the city is largely gone.
Convoy of Hope, our partner in compassion, has been on the ground since Monday getting food and supplies to people in the devastated areas. There is so much to be done, and they need our help. Superintendent George Wood has created a video clip outlining how we can help in this disaster. You can download this clip at http://www.ag.org/. There is also a button on the site where you can donate to Convoy of Hope. Pastors, we would encourage you to inform people in your church of this opportunity to be a blessing.
Please pray and encourage your churches to pray for the people affected by this disaster. Pray that God will minister to those who have lost loved ones and property, and also that people would be drawn to the Lord through this tragedy.
