Tornado Relief Effort
Kevin Derryberry Ministries wishes to send it’s deepest prayers to the people effected by the tornadoes that devastated Alabama and the region on April 27th. We have joined with numerous others to help bring relief to thousands who are in desperate immediate need. We have helped in the areas of Hackleburg AL, Pratt City AL, and Cordova AL, and still there is so much more to do there and all over the region.
Friday the 29th we gathered clothes, stuffed animals, and toys for Help for Hackleburg.
Saturday the 30th in Pratt City we handed out cold apples and oranges along with diapers, feminine needs, bags of ice, wipes paper towels, garbage bags, donated food, bibles and devotionals all while encouraging and praying with the individuals we would meet.
Sunday the 1st we sent some staff and volunteers to distribution centers to help sort and organize and some joined with a group headed to Cordova AL where we handed out cold apples and oranges along with bags of ice, wipes paper towels, garbage bags, donated food, bibles and devotionals all while encouraging and praying with the individuals we would meet. While in Cordova we helped a family who escaped 2 tornadoes that ripped down trees all around their yards none hitting their house only to later have their house burn from a fire started by a generator they were using to keep food in the refrigerator from spoiling. We removed what was left of the furniture in their house and loaded trailers carrying it away to storage. Also on Sunday we were directed to a home that had received no help yet. There we met a family who had lost everything but life. Small children playing in a yard filled with rubble left behind by these killer tornadoes. We helped them move what was left of their belongings into a uhaul and ministered to the family with prayers fresh fruit and wipes, bibles and devotions.
We want to thank all our volunteers and supporters for helping to make it possible for us to go and minister to the needs of so many. We would like to thank our friend James Spann for his help in getting us to very remote places in Walker County along with the team of men and women from Westwood Baptist Church in Alabaster and Double Oak Community Church. This recovery is far from over. We will continue to go as God leads us to go. You can help us to help other first by praying for God to guide us to the places He desires to use us. Pray for wisdom and discernment to love and minister to all He leads us to. Your prayers back with contributions will help to move mountains in the lives of those effected by this catastrophic event. Remember to pray for all those recovering.
