Disaster Relief Updates (State)

February 8, 2010

Update From Rick Seaton:

1. Haiti

The response to Haiti is coming along and getting more organized. The request right now is for medical teams and chaplain/inspector teams. We have forwarded about 12 names of people from our state with a medical background to NAMB for their information and consideration. The chaplain/inspector teams will consist of two chaplains (men) and two men with strong construction experience. They will get in to communities, visit with families and look at the building/structures.

2. Buckets of Hope

We are already getting a good response to the Buckets of Hope program. The national goal is 200,000 buckets. Click here for the web page with Buckets of Hope information. There are also links on this page to a Haiti disaster relief video and updates on the work being done there.

We have determined six pickup or collection sites across the state:

Baptist Building, 400 East High, Jefferson City, 573-636-0400 ext. 630 or 631

Blue River/Kansas City Baptist Association, 4001 NE Lakewood Way, Lees Summit, 816-795-1822

Miner Baptist Church, 416 State Highway H, Sikeston, 573-471-1331

Tri County Baptist Association, 239 Downing St., Nixa, 417-725-8825

First Baptist Church, 207 E Washington St, Kirksville, 660-627-2273

First Baptist Church, 2012 Missouri State Rd, Arnold, 636-296-2703

Buckets will need to be delivered to these sites by March 5 so we will have time to get them to Jefferson City by March 15 and to Florida by April 1. We will have an article in Pathway with this information as soon as possible.

Please contact the appropriate site for your area and ask for the times they are open.

3. Oklahoma

We are not expecting any requests from Oklahoma. The damage was not as bad as expected though they have had five feeding units and 13 chain saw units operating. They expect to stand down at the end of next week.

4. Prayer Concern

Please pray for Dale Meehan, West Central DR director as he will be having either angioplasty or a stent next Wednesday.

Thank you for your prayerfulness and continued faithfulness to the Lord.
