Thanking Baptists

I am writing to say “thank you” to Alabama Baptists for all the assistance you gave after Hurricane Katrina. You came to the rescue of the people in the Cypress Shores community. The work was hard, the hours were long, the beds were often uncomfortable but the food and fellowship was great.

Because of your sacrificial giving of time, talents, truckloads of supplies and financial resources, we were able to meet most of the needs in our community. 

We tore out Sheetrock, carried out debris, cut trees, gave out supplies, replaced Sheetrock, cleaned up yards, listened to the cries of and prayed with heart-broken people but most of all, we shared the gospel. 

Thank you again. It is indeed a joy to be part of the body of Christ, especially when the body cares for people the way you have cared. God bless you.
