On Sep 28, 2008, Chaplain Harley Ballard said:

Although the churches in our area were not physically damaged we were devistated at the loss of our sister congreations. We must rally together as the Church to come to the aid of all of those that suffered such loss. We must lift them up in constant prayer and put feet to our prayers by sending resources to help our fellow Believers. If you are disaster trained, volunteer to go to their aid. If not give of your resources. With the Good Lords help and all of Gods people, we can begin to rebuild shattered churches and homes and give hope. Our cup of cold water, (money ,workers,ect) will not be soon forgotten by the recepients ,nor ever forgotten by the Lord. In His Service, Chaplain Harley Ballard
