Committed Relief (a ministry of Calvary Chapel) is responding to the devastation caused by tornadoes in Joplin Mo. They are working with Jim Stewart from Calvary Chapel Kansas City on that end.
Their main contact in Joplin today said that along with the death toll there are also reports of 1500 people unaccounted for at this time.
A staging area has been secured where they will be able to feed the community hot meals, distribute supplies and host teams. They are also shipping a 50' trailer filled with new clothes, toiletries & bedding. This shipment should arrive in Joplin on Friday May 27th. A kitchen trailer and disaster relief feeding center is on it's way. It should arrive in Joplin on Wednesday June 1. The goal is to start feeding people hot meals and begin distributing supplies as soon as they arrive. It is our desire here at Calvary Chapel Visalia to come along side of this relief effort to the people of Joplin Missouri and reach out with the love of Jesus Christ. They are looking for teams to help over the next few weeks and for donations. · If you would like to donate please make checks payable toCalvary Chapel Visalia and note Joplin Missouri in the memo. · If you would like to donate online, you can go to www.ccvisalia.com click on donate then in the box marked "other" notate "Joplin Missouri." · If you are interested in going with a team or want to help in any way, please contact Pastor Mike at the church office (687-0220).
