Grace, peace, and mercy in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia!
As many of you know, a group of us from Ambassadors for Christ were en route to Biloxi, Mississippi to provide relief efforts due to the destructive force of Hurricane Katrina. While we were preparing to leave for Biloxi, Mississippi, a terrible tornado hit Atlanta, Georgia, leaving some dead, many injured, and a lot of wreckage. When we arrived to Atlanta, 12 hours behind schedule due to issues with the bus company, God impressed on our hearts a desire to stay in Atlanta. Amanda contacted Biloxi, Mississippi, where the staff of Urban Life Missions graciously serve the Lord, and they encouraged us in our efforts to aid the broken city of Atlanta. We made one phone call to hotels.com, where sales associate Philamena kindly made arrangements for us to stay in the heart of Atlanta. We are currently making contacts with Atlanta Emergency Management and the Red Cross. We will be here until Friday, March 21, 2008.
God is moving in our hearts down here. The group has abandoned all structured schedules, finanical restrictions, and common sense in a desire to pursue God like never before. We are in the wild, the battlefield, the front lines - and this time, we're not backing down. Continue to pray for us. We love you all.
Leaning on His Understanding,
Stephen and Travis

-Matthew 17:20
