This is a copy of a letter sent to me by Laura of the Drt
2006 HURRICANE SEASON
Yes........It is that time again....ALREADY
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) released the predictions for the 2006 hurricane season. The complete prediction for the season is 13-16 named storms, 8-10 being hurricanes and 4-6 of those being major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
The DRT is currently in the process of cleaning, reconditioning and servicing tools, generators, chain saws, etc. Care packs are being prepared and many other details that go into the preparation of responding to a disaster are being completed.
Due to the generosity of many of you, several tool trailers and RV's have been donated. We thank our GOD for you!! We are also in the process of purchasing a mobile kitchen that can serve 3000 people per day. If you are willing to help financially with the purchase of this, it is greatly needed and appreciated. Please just earmark it "mobile kitchen".
If you are a congregation in need of assistance following a disaster, please contact us immediately.

GULF COAST UPDATE
So many of you have made such a tremendous impact on the lives of people in the gulf coast. You have prayed, written encouragement letters, assembled care packs. You've gutted out nasty houses, cut trees, hung drywall (or sheetrock as they call it in the south), taped drywall, listened to the stories (sometimes over and over) of those affected by Hurricane Katrina. You've cooked meals, hugged necks, led Bible studies, baptized those who were ready to put on Christ. You have allowed GOD to work through you to show HIS love. You have made a difference in the lives of those you may have just met and even those who you may never meet.
Over 4000 of you have volunteered, helping over 5500 families. There has been over $450,000 in building material purchased. 15 local schools helped, 400 backpacks given to school children, 4500 meals cooked and served and hundreds of baptisms!!! PRAISE GOD!!
Unfortunately there is still MUCH left to do. (yes, even after all this time) We still need your help through prayers, volunteering and financial donations.
