Hurricane Katrina tragedy


I can hardly believe the images showing up on Foxnews and other networks. 80% of New Orleans is underwater, a city-wide avacuation is in effect and massive rescue efforts are underway.

I received an email from a good friend whose family has lost their home and business down in Mississippi. It's horrific.

I'm asking myself how I can and should personally respond to this - as well as how our church community should respond. It seems that responding is always better than reacting - so it's probably best to wait and find out what and where the greatest needs are.

What are your thoughts on how the church (nationally) or individuals can and should respond to this?
