Well another day at the warehouse and I don’t mean to boast but Nebraska folk dominated!! We unloaded 2 semi trailers, 2 horse trailers, 2 truck trailers and sorted and palletized all the supplies that came into the warehouse! No supply left on the floor, everything in boxes on pallets ready to be distributed. Our team is made up of a great group of workers.
The two main guys running the daily operations at the warehouse were surprised by two things:
1. How hard Nebraskans worked!
2. That we would spend 2 days at the warehouse because as we saw many teams don’t last much more than a couple hours because it is not the most glamorous of jobs.
What makes that even cooler is that one of our objectives is that we serve and be a blessing to the people that will be in Joplin for the long haul and we have been able to do that. Both guys at the warehouse commented several times how much of a blessing we were to them and how we lowered their stress and burden by being there, working our tails off and teaching the “short-timers” the ropes.
Tomorrow we team up with Samaritans Purse and head out to do some city clean up. Please pray for our team tomorrow as this will be the first time we will see first hand the devastation of this city. Pray for safety for our team and all the volunteers that are helping in the efforts.
Gonna sign off for the night, sorry no pictures, refer to yesterdays if you want to see the warehouse and massive amount of supplies that come in to the city.
Thanks for your prayers.
Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work!! Praying for the team and the people of Joplin. May He minister through you all again tomorrow!!
