Praying for New Orleans…again

The Leverett family is stationed in Tallahassee, watching the news coverage regarding Gustav and preparing to go to church.  One newscaster suggested that for New Orleans residents this must be a reoccurring nightmare.  I think that is a pretty good summary of how I feel.

I have been praying for Gustav to weaken.  It is strengthening.  I have been praying for Gustav to be redirected.  It is barreling right in the direction of New Orleans, and at a more destructive angle.  Now all I know to pray is for God to glorify Himself and for His will to be done.  I am praying for myself and others that we have the mind of Christ, the perspective of trust and the blessings of grace.

While we have relocated, our home is still there.  We are once again vulnerable to the whims of the tropics.  And we have precious families following us for shelter here.  We’ve barely been settled, (I use that term loosely), for two days, and we will be hosting as many as 20 or so folks.

For now, if you plan to make any contributions to Rebirth International, please redirect them to our current address in that New Orleans’ based banks and postal service will likely be disrupted for some time.

757 Derbyshire Rd.
Tallahassee, FL 32312

Pray for strength and perspective during this impending crisis in the city of our affections.
