Director's Corner

 

In the early morning hours of January 23rd, like many of you, Judy and I were hunkered down in the hallway of our home as the emergency sirens were blasting the alarm. "A tornado warning is in effect!"  We had no idea at the time exactly what that warning would hold for so many of our Chilton County neighbors.  Now we know it very well.  Many homes and businesses were damaged and several were destroyed.  Our hearts and prayers went out to each and every one of those affected.

 

However, there was something that took place that day which was even more impressive than the tornado.  I am referring to the awesome response of the people of Chilton County neighbor helping neighbor.  Churches helping their community.  City and State government agencies working together with relief organizations like the Salvation Army and the Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief Ministry.  There was an outpouring of compassion unlike anything I have ever seen.  I can tell you for a fact, that doesn't happen everywhere, but it happened here.

 

It is amazing what can be accomplished when people work together for a common cause and are determined to accomplish a particular purpose, no matter what it takes.  We learned that lesson on January 23rd and the days following.  Please don't forget that lesson Church.  God help us to remember.

 

Thank God that no lives were lost in Chilton County.  Not even a serious injury has been reported.  Special thanks to Joe Mims and Gordon Smelley for heading up our Association Clean-Up and Recovery Team in the Clanton area, Danny Rasberry for leading the effort in Maplesville and Sherrell White, our Association Disaster Relief Ministry Team Leader.

 

Several of our Association churches were also very involved helping to clean up yards, patch roofs, and provide meals.  All of you have been a blessing to our communities and a physical witness to the love of God.  You all made His love real to those who were hurting.  May God bless each and every one of you!

 

On Mission Celebration is very close.  Is your church ready?  Are YOU ready?  It is going to be a wonderful time in our Association, February 25-26th.  Don't miss out on any of the activities that weekend.
