A tornado ripped through Shawnee, OK on May 19, 2013. Many families lost everything they had. We felt an urgency to help the people of Shawnee. We immediately made plans to leave the next Sunday on May 26th. During that week, we were blessed with donations from the people and local businesses of Monticello, KY. Our plan was for our family to go do whatever we could to help. So, on Sunday after our
evening church service, with all of the donated items loaded in a U-Haul trailer, we left for Shawnee, OK. During the 3 days that we were in Shawnee, we saw a lot of devastation. We wanted to help more but, didn't have the finances or the time to do so. God has laid the desire in our hearts, to do a ministry that would do disaster relief missions in the United States. We are now in the beginning phases of getting that non-profit ministry started. Our vision is to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, by traveling to disaster areas throughout the United States and providing 2 meals a day to victims of disasters via a mobile kitchen trailer, and to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to a world that needs Him. We want to help these families to heal after having been through such a disastrous time in their lives. We are also planning to have activities for the children to do, to keep their minds off what is happening around them. We want to teach adults and children that God is with them in times of trouble and that sometimes things happen in our lives to bring our attention to God, so we can turn to him for help and he can show us that he loves us. We want to share the message, that God loves us all, with those that are hurting.
