Update: Operation Compassion

Posted by ctadmin on Friday, September 02, 2005 (CST)

Update [9/2/05]: Public officials and private officials have met and developed a new plan to care for the overflow from the Astrodome.

Displaced citizens will be referred now to the George R. Brown Convention Center and The HP Center.

Public officials and private officials have met and developed a new plan to care for the overflow from the Astrodome.

Displaced citizens will be referred now to the George R. Brown Convention Center and The HP Center. Our feeding ministry will remain basically as I outlined in yesterday’s letter. We still need a million dollars. We still need food service volunteers beginning September 14 and concluding September 20. We believe the number of volunteers will remain constant. Only the location will change.

Bottom line: Please use yesterday’s letter to ask folks for money and people. However, let them know that the location will be different.

Thanks so much for your patience in this matter. No one is prepared for these numbers of people in Houston, and public and private officials are developing the plans as they go.

I’ll see those of you coming to the Monday training event at Second Baptist when Bob and I get trained ourselves.

Blessings,
Janice Riggle Huie

    I read this in high school and it was the most descriptive and imaginative book I have read. It may be fiction, but it gets you thinking of all the spiritual warfare that constantly surrounds us.

    My initial exposure to RSB did not strike me as anything special or different but I really like their music now and seem to listen to this CD all the time. The CD will stand up not just to other Christian worship music but with anything out there in
