ILLINOIS IS ON THE MEND!

Hello all,

I have been in Marsailles IL since the beginning of the week to address the needs of the flood survivors in this small Midwest town right on the Illinois RIver.  I have been very fortunate to team up with TEAM RUBICON, a nationwide disaster response team made up of military veterans and the Illinois Southern Baptist response team.  These teams hit the ground running  from the start and it has been exciting to join forces with them on this project.  Illinois is on the mend!

Struggling to keep my eyes open.

Hope all is well.
