This morning, Friday October 30th, a shipment of supplies will be unloaded in Dennehotso, Arizona by members of the Kayenta Church of Christ, whose church building is just a few miles away. The supplies will be unloaded and distributed from the Dennehotso Chapter House building of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American reservation in the US, covering over 27,000 square miles in southern Utah, northeastern Arizona, and northwestern New Mexico. In October that area, plus other areas from California to southern Colorado have been receiving rain from what is being called a Super El Niño , which began June 2nd, and is reported to be the strongest and most active El Niño since the 1950’s, and has caused major flooding. We’re having to keep an eye on the weather in different communities, so we can deliver these supplies between rain storms, so they can get the supplies unloaded and inside out of the elements.
Saturday Morning, October 31st, another truckload of supplies will be unloaded at the Pagosa Springs Church of Christ, In Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
Monday morning November 2nd, two shipments will be delivered. One is going to the Shiprock Church of Christ in Shiprock, New Mexico, and the other delivery is going to the Tuba City Church of Christ, In Tuba City, Arizona.
Also Monday morning another truck will leave our warehouse, for a scheduled delivery Wednesday morning November 4th at the Farmington Church of Christ, in Farmington, New Mexico.
Please be praying for the thousands affected by the flooding.
If you live in or near Nashville, TN, we will be running our food line Tuesday morning November 3rd at 10am, and we are looking for volunteers, 16 and older, that can come to our warehouse to help pack 1,500 Family food boxes. This will help us continue to be ready for the next disaster to occur, and for the next request from a Church of Christ in or near a disaster area. Packing food boxes requires people to be on their feet for several hours. If you’re in the area, and will be free for a couple of hours, we can use your help Tuesday morning. People ask us, “Will there be a big crowd there?" We never know how many will be here until that morning, when they start arriving. We “thank you” for wanting to help others in some way, during their time of need.
