Update from Mike King in Memphis
We have been running pallets of food and water down to the coast from Memphis.  At the moment 50 trucks have been sent this is about 1000 pallets of supplies.  We are using the A/G churches, that are able, to host these supplies and get them out to their communities.  As of 9/10 this has been going on for 8 days.  We are getting request for cleaning supplies now.  The water and food need is slowing down and people are trying to recover.
 
The disaster cover 85 miles of coast and reachs 100 miles deep with flood and wind damage.  If you want to help from the Memphis area please call the Memphis International Church at 901-452-7993 and we will give the exact needs we have at the moment. 
 
I have been in contact with a few Pathfinders in Mississippi and are sending them out with chain saws and tarps to help stranded people.
 
I will soon have specific church needs that would like a team of Pathfinders to help in reconstruction and repairs. 
 
Please stay in contact and thanks for your help and prayers.
 
Mike King
