Mission trip to Moore City, OK

Greetings in Jesus' Name.

The members and friends of Dallas Tamil Church donated many gifts to the people of Moore city in Oklahoma who were affected by the Tornado. Pastor. Tere (Lutheran Church in OK) warmly wecomed us and helped in distribution. Later we spent the few hours in classification of things in a big basketball stadium that was part of the church. The 'Holy Cow Seekers' from Dallas, provided us with some sandwiches.
 
Everything that we gave was greatly appreciated. We thank God for the local churches that reflected the love of Christ to those in need.
Children were actively engaged in the distribution process. May the Lord reward them abundantly.
Everyhouse was completely destroyed. It is hard to salvage anything. Piles of wood sprayed with mud, leaves nothing usable.
The Scripture says, "It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart" (Ecc 7:2)
We thank Bro. Stephen and his family for coming along with us.
We thank everyone who prayed and sent gifts on the way. The Lord will reward you abundantly.
The Scripture says, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:40)"

May God bless you and your family.
