America's Tsunami

Just a few days ago I heard an interview with a survivor of the Hurricane from Mississippi. The only thing that I absolutely remember from that interview was the words of that survivor saying that this was America's Tsunami. One reason that has stuck with me so much is because I was part of the relief as were many people that will read this, granted we were all involved in one way or another and we were changed all of us.

Now this.

What to do? Our lives have changed because of this faster than they did when the Tsunami happened in December. We all felt that and we all feel this more than we ever would have wanted too. Now with stories of looting, riots, and general mayhem down in Louisiana and the surrounding areas we are called to help, in any way that we can no matter what we fear or anything, we MUST suck it up and help the people in our own nation just like we tried to of the many nations devastated by the Tsunami. All of those pictures that you see on the TV of the destruction that took place, that is exactly what I saw on my trip to Sri Lanka in March, take that to heart and remember how those countries are still being effected by that.

I have just today recieved an email from the World Impact office here on IWU's campus, asking that I would pray about leading a trip and would greatly consider it. The thought had already crossed my mind that a trip or two must go from this school to that area down there. Please pray for the guidance that I will need to make this decision and if necessary that skill to lead a trip to that area. This greatly excites me because I love to help people as much as possible and in any way, no matter the danger that could possibly come to me it is worth my blood and harm to take a chance and show a person the love of Christ and let them know that there is a Hope that is out there to lead them through the hardest time they may ever have in their life.
