NuFaith After Ike

On September 13, 2008, hurricane Ike left a trail of destruction and devastation in the Gulf Coast region. Many of us felt that without electricity, we had lost our “power,” but at prayer services at NuFaith, held outside Plummer Middle School, it was realized that we never lost the “Power” that we have gained through the Lord Jesus Christ, even without electricity in many homes and businesses. To be able to come together as a start-up congregation to share prayers, offers of help, praise reports, and post-Ike blessings was spiritually uplifting.

It was very touching to see the inclusion of the maintenance staff at Plummer Middle School in our prayer services and the sincere offers of assistance by Pastor Jacqui and Donel, and how much they appreciated being part of our service. Many of us shared how the losses we experienced this past week allowed us to come together as families, communities and church families was a blessing in disguise. Pastor Jacqui has shown us that over time, as we recover from this devastation, we can focus on God’s mercy and share our blessings with others whose losses may be greater than our own.

As we continue to praise the Lord for all that He has done for us, we can continue to praise Him during this challenging time and thank him in advance for bringing us through much stronger, more compassionate and ready to spread the good news of Jesus Christ at NuFaith and the community at large. Thank you Pastor Jacqui and Donel King for your leadership and for showing us that no matter what we might be facing, we really can “Meet God @ Anytime.”
