Dear friends, as many of you know we have a home in Black Mountain, NC and as you are seeing in the news the entire region has been devastated by flooding, mudslides, power & communication outages, public water contamination, loss of roads, etc.
By the Grace of God our home has been spared. Thank you for all of your messages and prayers. We are truly grateful! Keep them coming for the communities of Western NC, East TN and SC.
I’m heading to Black Mountain tomorrow, following friends who are also traveling to their home in the area. I’ll be helping with the relief effort by delivering much needed supplies. Mark will come a few days behind me with another load of supplies. If you would like to donate tangible relief items please leave them on our front porch. Local friends you know where we live. 😊 If it’s here by tonight I’ll take it with me. If it’s here by Friday AM Mark will bring it in his load. Below is a quick list of items requested.
