UPDATE: Justs The Crumbs/BMA Disaster Relief
Jeff Herring
The BMA Disaster Relief Ministry partner, Just the Crumbs plans to have the kitchen trailer set up at Cherrywood Baptist Church in Sherwood to serve meals beginning Wednesday, April 12, and will serve lunch daily from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Lavon Haden shared that they are stretched thin with their volunteers since they responded to the Mississippi tornado and “have a group cooking in Amory, Miss. and a group in Letcher, Ky. providing support for God’s Pit Crew. However, we feel that God wants us to respond to the Central Arkansas area as well, and we know God will provide the help we need, if we submit to His will. So, if you feel that God is leading you to volunteer or donate, don’t ignore the feeling. We need you to help us be the hands and feet of Jesus.”
Volunteers Needed
(Executive Editor’s Note: There was a typo in the phone number last week, but we have confirmed that this number is the correct one to call if you can help.)
If you can volunteer, contact Bro. Lavon at (601) 522-6055. If you are in the Little Rock area, volunteers are needed to begin cooking at 8 a.m. and to deliver meals to affected areas beginning at 10:30 a.m. each day.
