We got Back today with 4 people who are relocating here in Fla. They have lost evrything & are lucky to be alive, one man was on his roof for 2 weeks!! we are puting him up in our apartment that we have. his name is ben, 54 yrs. old, & all alone!!
My husband will post pictures soon, that we took while we where there, we are going to try & go back in a couple of weeks, cause people are not wanting to leave at this time, this was a walk in faith, & we made a differance, we have better contacts this time, & are working with 3 churchs now, & the radio staitions are working with us also when we go back,
we have 21 people & children getting things together so when we go back that they will be ready to go!!
people are angery, scared, & confused !!! so the churches & radio staitions are getting the word out that we are comeing back!! so we will beable to bring more people back, !! I don't have words for what I saw or the pitures that I didn't have the heart to take!!
We have reunited 3 people with there familys, & have given a man a new family & home, we dropped off two people in Pensacola Fl. were their family will pick them up, & I'm getting ready to take a woman to her family in LaBelle Fl. so my trip is not over yet, & we are takeing Ben into are family !!
The people that we have meet there & the people From N.C. From the Baptist Churches there feeding the people were awesome!! GOD BLESS THEM ALL !!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT & PRAYERS!!
I have truely seen God at work in this time of need !!
& people from all walks of life come together as one !!!
God Bless The World !!
World Bless God !!!!!
My eyes have been open like never before!!!
Lots of Love & Prayers to All !!!
N.C. Baptist Churches you all rock in the lord & I'm Proud to have worked with you all!! Keep up the good work & my the Good Lord Bless you all. !!!!!

Hi All..
As you can all guess I am Haapy that Jolene is home...
The gentleman Ben that returned with them, was trapped on the roof of his home for 2 days, waiting for the water to go down. (Jolene is very tired)....This poor man is 56yrs old, they are taking him around right now, checking in with the Red Cross and trying to start getting his life back togeather again... He lost everything.. (Batteries in camera were dead, I did not get any pic's of him yet )... but we told him he can stay in our Rental apartment as long as he needs to..
The Lady Jaima that came back with Jolene has Family id in LaBelle Fla, Jolene is taking her there now...its about 2 hours away...
She was just amazed at the images she saw on the TV when they stopped here, they have not seen the other Damage other than where they were staying in Gulf Port.. She just started crying.. she was thankful just to be alive, She also lost everything, except for a few pictures..
I am going to Post a few pictures here, I will post the link to my website, so anyone that wants can see all the pictures.. Be Patient I'm still getting them, loaded up from the other puter, I will have them all posted by the AM... ok
Lets get started...
This is the Van from "God's House", this is our Brother-in-Laws Church.. A Brake line broke just as they were leaving town, so they had to load everything on the Bus...
This the Bus being loaded...
This is about half full of supplies...
This is the Relief Team...
Hitting the Road...
This was really a sign from God.. as soon as they got back and we were unloading the Bus.. we noticed a Cross in the North Sky....Right over the Same area they were... Gulf Port, Miss.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures... There are more to come.. here is a link to the ones on my website.. :
http://spaces.msn.com/members/zombielandmsn/
As Jolene said, they are going to plan another trip as soon as we get more supplies and rest... Alot of the people there are still in shock... they all just want to find their belongings.. and in some cases Children & Loved ones...
I just ask that tonight sometime, just say a small Prayer for these people...
Thanks for Your Support & Prayer's
God Bless Everyone
Charlie

Ben got signed up with the red cross & was tooken to the hospital to get checked out, he is banged up & has
to have surgary on his eye, so keep him in Prayer, he has a long road ahead of him!!
I got Jaima Home to her mom & family, got pictures, will post them soon!! it was great seeing them together!!
all of us cried!!! ( Happy Tears!!!)
& the lord showed us his blessing as soon as we pulled in the chapel parking lot, there was a cross made of clouds in the north where we just returned from, we all started crying at the chapel.. & I know that that was a sign from god that we are going back to get more people out of there!!!
well everyone Thank you again for the Prayers & the support, But I'm tried out & I'm just going to try & get some sleep!!
Lots Of Prayers & Love to all!!
Lots of Love Jolene
