God’s People Working Together

And all God’s People Worked Together…..

God’s people in Iowa are responding and the phone is ringing! Pastor Tim Phillips, Gloria Dei, Urbandale and a team of happy workers are heading to Lacombe, LA on Saturday. THANK YOU PASTOR PHILLIPS, for the numerous hours that you have spent organizing this servant trip!!!!!

Pastor and Mrs. Bruce Jackson from Lawton, IA generously are donating their RV for use as the headquarters for the Lacombe relief effort. Their RV will be parked at Village Lutheran in Lacombe for months. This is an amazing gift!!! They also filled the tank and donated 100 gallons of gas to get the RV down the road 600 miles. THANK YOU JACKSON FAMILY!!!!

The preparations are continuing at a fast pace  Pastor David Loeschen, Our Savior, Denison, contacted Les Rath and Bob Carit from Our Savior and they are heading to Lawton, this morning, Wednesday, to pick up the RV and will drive it to Urbandale so it will be ready for the Saturday trip. THANK YOU, LES and BOB !!

It will take a lot of fuel to get the team to Lacombe with their caravan of vehicles, trailer and donated supplies. The Board of Directors of IDW, approved $2,000 for the fuel yesterday. THANK YOU, BOARD OF DIRECTORS!!

Also, THANKS to all who donated dog food, diapers, batteries, food, equipment, and numerous supplies!!! I understand that Pastor Woolery, Homestead, is meeting Pastor Phillips at Newton on Thursday to bring supplies that have been collected in Iowa District East.

Pray for the team!! Pray for safe travels and for a joyful time of helping God’s people in Lacombe.

God’s Blessings to each of you as you serve HIM today, Ellie Menz
