Don’t we all need some good news? It’s so good to see so many neighbors coming together and loving each other well in Texas right now. Courageous first responders, the National Guard, and everyday folks…
I’m especially encouraged by all the churches across South Texas that are making the most of this opportunity to make God known by displaying God’s power and love to everyone in need. Good Samaritans putting their neighbors on their backs – sometimes literally!
Everyone is watching you, Church. Your kindness is a testimony and a headline the world needs to see right now. Keep going!
Friends who are dry right now? Let’s keep praying. And if you’re wanting to give or volunteer, here are a few friends of mine serving the Houston area well:
Amanda Jones and Robbie Seay – both friends for many years – are leaders at Bayou City Fellowship. Visit their site to give and volunteer: http://bayoucityfellowship.com
Jason Shepperd – a friend since I was 12 – pastors Church Project and is mobilizing his congregation to serve those in need all over the Houston area. Visit http://subsplash.com/churchproject/v/1fca0a5 to contact their disaster response team.
Chris Seay was my pastor in college and today minsters at Ecclesia Houston. They are offering to house and coordinate volunteers who come to Houston to help. Visit http://ecclesiahouston.org to get in touch.
Thanks, friends.

Thanks Shaun. when my house flooded last year here in Houston (and yes, it has flooded again this time) I saw the church be the church as they ministered to me and my neighbors. No doubt it will be the same this year.
May I add this link to my church?

Champion Forest Baptist Church is a multi site, multi ethnic church in NW Houston, poised to help. Trained mud out crews are available. If anyone needs mud out this link will lead you to a registration form for that service. If you want to give monetarily or volunteer to serve, all the info is in the link.
