In the midst of all these supplies, we find "Marge, the Sarge". Whatever Marge is in charge of, it will be done as near perfect as possible. Here she is making sure supplies are displayed for disaster victims to pick up that they so much need. Tomorrow on the way back to the gulf to get ready for this hurricane season, she is stopping at our house to have supper and hopefully spend the night with us. The Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team is fortunate to have volunteers like "Marge, the Sarge".

This bottom picture is one of my favorites, it is of "Grandma"and me. In spite of the devastation she was always smiling and was so... thankful for what the DRT volunteers were doing for her community.
This year as we set field kitchens, we are going to add one volunteer to our staff to get names, address, and telephone numbers for visitation and teaching. We are always working to improve the spiritual outreach aspects of our work. Now while there have been well over 100 baptisms because of work done and contacts by the volunteers, I believe we can improve on our evangelistic efforts. We are planning to set up tables and chairs at the field kitchen sites where people can come in and eat there meal and just talk with us about the devestation they have suffered. This helps them a great deal. We need volunteers that will help us in sitting at the table with them and listening, this will help a great deal in the opportunity for teaching and leading them to Christ and having fellowship with helpful christians. If you would like to be part of this effort please call me at 931-698-3150 or email me at dhudson@mcis.us You could be a great help in this. I telling you brethren it is thrilling to know we are making a difference. Don
