DR. GEORGE FLOWERS WILL TRAVEL TO AREAS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE KATRINA AND WELCOMES VOLUNTEERS:
The Executive Director of GWM, Dr. George F. Flowers and a small team will travel to the gulf coast region to access the damages and carry needed items and supplies for the people caught in the vicious storm of Katrina. I will leave Charleston, South Carolina on Monday, September 5th and will travel throughout the affected region through Friday, the 9th.
We will travel by van to the Panhandle of Florida, Mobile, Alabama, the Mississippi Gulf region, (Jackson, Mississippi) and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Lord's willing, we will try to help to meet the daily needs of as many persons as possible.
There are many short-term needs to be met daily of persons who were left with nothing. I am asking the church to be in prayer for all the people affected by this “monster-of-a-storm.”
To a degree, I understand the agony and pain of the people because 16 years ago when Hurricane Hugo made landfall in Charleston, South Carolina, many of the residents were left with nothing. But thanks be to God, many AMEs came to our rescue.
If you wish to join me on this mission relief journey; you can call our office at (843) 852-2645 or my home at (843) 402-4530.
Many persons are calling to volunteer time and service by going to Mississippi and Louisiana to help feed the hungry and bring comfort to the hurricane victims; so please pray for safe travels.
