"In the 38th chapter of Ezekiel, it says that the land of Israel will come under attack by the armies of the ungodly nations, and it says that Lybia will be among them. Do you understand the significance of that? Lybia has now gone communist, and that's a sign that the day of Armageddon isn't far off."
-- Ronald Reagan

The Salvation Army is prepared to serve 400,000 hot meals per day to residents and first responders in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. More than 200 volunteers, employees and officers will serve the meals from 72 mobile canteens that are able to provide up to 5,000 hot meals per day. In addition, the Army is prepared to move in two, 54-foot mobile kitchens that can provide 20,000 hot meals per day.
These kitchens will be dispatched following FEMA's assessment of the areas most affected by the storm, and will be followed, based on response needs, by other units the Army has at its disposal – trucks called comfort stations where residents can attend to personal hygiene, portable shower units, emergency response command stations for officers to direct the response efforts, and other equipment as needed.
The Salvation Army is deeply grateful for the generosity of contributors like Wal-Mart, which donated $1 million to help its neighbors in the wake of Katrina. To support The Salvation Army's relief effort for Hurricane Katrina, please visit www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SalArmy. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Report from the Mission Katrina Advance Team
Thursday, September 01, 2005
"The Vision Forum supply, reconaissance and extraction effort began today. At 11:00 tonight we received word from our caravan that they are already witnessing the first signs of trouble (They left from San Antonio, Tx). Vision Forum Director of Operations, Kevin Turley, reports that there are streams of buses of all shapes and sizes, escorted by police, driving towards Houston. One of our staff stopped at a gas station and was approached by 5 men offering him digital cameras still in the boxes. When asked where the cameras came from, the men took off. In addition, we are receiving eye witness accounts of severe looting and shooting problems as far as Baton Rouge."

http://www.visionforum.com/
"Our team has made it into the disaster zone and is currently extracting one family and searching for another. Another part of the team has been sent to Baton Rouge, where the situation is deteriorating hour by hour, to deliver two trucks of food to home school leaders who themselves are helping families in need. The reports of eye witness accounts of chaos, murder and vandalism are stunning. One of our team members spoke to a man whose pastor was shot in cold blood last night by a gang who wanted the supplies he was carrying. Reports of gang rapes are on the rise. Also, groups of hoodlums and vandals are moving from the cities to the suburbs and higher class neighborhoods. Efforts are full underway at Vision Forum to clothe, feed and house families in San Antonio. Please pray for the peace of God on America, for deliverance and safety to the Saints throughout the disaster zone, and for relief for all who are suffering." |

Mission Katrina Report 1.4
http://www.visionforum.com
The Vision Forum reconnaissance and support team returned from its first 72 hour mission last night at 2:00 a.m. having extracted one family from the disaster region, delivered thousands of dollars worth of supplies to local churches housing the indigents, and met with home school leaders serving as contacts for help regarding future support missions. The mission was made possible by the use of a convoy of large diesel trucks carrying spare tanks of gas.
We have three licensed airplane pilots on staff, and may have the ability to work with chopper pilots to quickly get in and out of key regions, but are hoping for the provision of available aircraft for easy maneuverability.
As of 3:00 today, we just concluded a series of meetings concerning mission objectives for the next series of operations into the disaster zone. Meanwhile, we have accomplished our goal of establishing a network of houses in Alabama for housing indigents Christian families, and are on our way to finalizing a support structure capable of placing about fifty families in housing in the San Antonio vicinity.
Thank you in advance for your prayers for these efforts. We have the team, the infrastructure and financial support is coming in. We are working with local pastors and home school leaders to assist in identifying needs, but with gas unavailable and communication down, our greatest prayer request is for reliable communication networks in the disaster zone itself. |
