While the larger Southern Baptist disaster relief feeding units must be deployed strategically to areas needing massive amounts of meals prepared daily, those areas needing smaller amounts of meals are not left to fend for themselves.
Countless Alabama Baptist churches and associations moved into action immediately following the April 27 storms to help as needed.
For example, members of Calvary Baptist Church, Russellville, were in Hackleburg delivering food almost immediately, serving about 2,400 meals in a four-day period.
“[Calvary’s] just trying to be a Great Commission church … thinking of what God wants us to do,” Pastor Wade Wallace said. “We want to be a servant at this time and let people see the love of Christ in us.”
A team from First Baptist Church, Sulligent, also provided food and drinks, while another team from the church helped in cleanup efforts in Hackleburg. (TAB)
