1st day coming to a close

Even though it was a rather uneventful day of travel, we are all pretty bushed. It is before 11:00 pm (CST) and things are very quiet here @ Firehouse Family Ministries. We had a great time of worship and study in the Word, led by Bruce and Steve. We will have the pleasure of joining some of the New Orleans brethren downstairs in the sanctuary. Continue to pray for opportunities to show and share the Gospel whenever we can. Praise God for Eli's speedy recovery and no sickness or injuries from the rest of the team, even after a highly spirited game of "Spoons!!!" Goodnight, SS

We've Arrived!

We've arrived safely in New Orleans and are waiting only for Bruce, our worship leader, to get here. Just a quick story...

Right after we arrived at Firehouse, the church where we are staying for the week, we were standing outside awaiting the church rep to show up and let us in. We were gathered in a circle talking when a couple of people walked by. The guy said to us, "Thanks for coming to help. God bless you today." That is the attitude of many of the people of New Orleans. They know that without God's people coming to help, their city would never recover. They are seeing the love of God in action through his people and I know that honors him greatly.

So far so good...

So far, we're doing well. We are at the airport waiting to board. Sometimes, moving a group of 20+ through check-in and security can present challenges, but we made it through quickly and easily. As evidenced by the picture of Kathryn and Eli, we are just hanging out waiting to board. New Orleans, here we come!

36 hours and under attack

Well, the clock is running. We are now under 36 hours from our flight taking off. Please pray for our team. As we get close, the enemy is on attack. There are some great things that God is calling us to do to bless his people in New Orleans and the enemy will do whatever he can to hinder us. One member of our team is really sick. Pray that he experiences a quick recovery. We treasure your prayers as we near go time. God bless each of you.
