Follow up to Katrina
For those of you who might still be contemplating what you might do for the victims of the recent Hurricanes in the Gulf, I received the following from our headquarters in Dallas and thought I might share it with you.
Lead by recommendations from CAM’s Emergency Committee, the mission has launched the Hurricane Katrina Relief Project. The plan is to establish a ministry coordination center at the New Orleans Bible Church in Kenner, Louisiana, just five miles west of downtown. Several CAM missionaries are planning to help coordinate the scores of teams that are expected to come to demonstrate God’s love and share good news in Christ. Kenner is home to over 40,000 Spanish-speakers most of whom have roots in Honduras. It is hoped that work teams from churches in Honduras and Mexico will also participate in the relief effort. We estimate $100,000 will be needed for the first phase of the relief effort, half of which we trust the Lord will provide at the CAM Dallas Banquet scheduled for October 8. All pertinent info can be accessed at http://www.camrelief.org or by calling the toll free Hurricane Katrina Relief hot line at 1-866-435-8548.
