Louisiana When Hurricane Ida made landfall in late August, The Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast already had a team in place to coordinate relief efforts. Now, a partnership has solidified between this disaster response team and St. Timothy’s (Spring, TX), Good Shepherd Church (Metairie, LA), Trinity Anglican (Lafayette, LA), FaithPoint Family Fellowship (Covington, LA) and Servants Heart Disaster Relief (Charleston, SC). Meanwhile, the North American Lutheran Church has been a vital partner! They have offered literally tons of supplies stored in their Texas warehouses for St. Timothy’s to distribute to the Louisiana churches. We are beyond grateful for this partnership. ARDF is blessed to participate in weekly calls with a dedicated team coordinating efforts on the ground. We see firsthand how exhausting this is. And yet, these leaders remain joyfully committed, and have even kept their sense of humor as they continue to serve those affected by the storm. |
