On Tuesday night February 5, a devastating tornado struck my home church, where mom and dad still attend and work, Sharon Baptist Church. Visiting on Wednesday was very emotional for me. This is the church where I was saved and baptized. This is the church where Cynthia and I were married. Praise be to God that no one was killed or even hurt at the church. There was a couple there when the tornado hit. There's more about that story further down. Cynthia and I attended a service last night at the high school in Savannah with about 450 members of the Sharon Baptist/SCA/KIDS family and we all left very encouraged. It was basically a big "pep-rally" for the church, school and preschool. It is amazing to see all of the churches in the community that have offered their facilities to the church and school on a long term basis. Please be in prayer for their church staff as they seek God's will about what needs to be done for rebuilding. It will be a long process of probably 18-24 months. Bro. Greg, one of the associate pastors, reminded the congregation last night that we will not have a building next week.
God is good and He has a perfect plan. The church is excited about building a new facility that is everything they have wanted, but haven't been able to have. Praise be to God!
By the way... Cynthia and my Alma Mater, Union University, also suffered major damage... more can be found about that at www.uuemercency.com
