It's Raining, It's Pouring

Please be in prayer for all who are stranded or flooded out as a result of the nearly 20 inches of rain this area has received lately. This is the time for the church to "Be the Church" and support each other, as well as our neighbors. If you have a need as a result of the weather mess, please e-mail the church and we will help, if possible. Please note that we have gallons of drinking water and canned foods readily available.

The photos here are of the overflowing retention pond at Tomoka Christian and the home of our youth pastor, Craig Portwood — one of many flooded out by the rain. Click directly on the photos to see them larger.

Just to give you a different perspective, on Wednesday I talked to Vivek Lall, one of our missionaries in India. They are in the midst of a 10-month drought. They have to carry water from 10 miles away for drinking and bathing.
