We are beginning the 5th week of Samaritans Purse and the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. Already over 2,500 people have been prayed with and Samaritans Purse has received over 1,400 work orders. Deployment weeks have been added through Christmas and another hub is getting started in the area. By tomorrow, Camp will max out at 140 volunteersfrom across the country. For now, there is the triangle of ministry divided between the two hardest hit cities (Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe) and Wewahitchka. Between these three cities there are only a few operational churches. Tomorrow, after breakfast, devotion time and team prayer send offs, 12 Samaritans Purse teams will depart for things like: debris removal, house gutting, home repairs, staffing distribution centers and more.
This evening was an informal time of getting to know others. Every volunteer here has a story on why they put their jobs and family on hold, to come and cheerfully help others. Some received help from Samaritans Purse in their past and now need to pay it forward. Others came because the Holy Spirit called them here. White collar, blue collar - it doesn’t matter here- just servant hearted followers of Christ doing whatever is needed.
Please pray for God’s protection over the families of men and women who are earnestly praying, “Lord, I’ll go where you want me to go, do what you want me to do and be what you want me to be!”
Good night prayer warriors - we are praying for you as well!
