As I was walking past Station Hill Baptist Church this evening, I was amazed at the number of vehicles bearing signage which read Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief Tennessee. Two weeks ago an EF 3 tornado tore through the county I live in. One hundred and fifty homes were damaged and 40 of those totally destroyed.
After speaking with a gentleman in the church parking lot, I discovered the owners of the trucks, heavy equipment and vans belonged to a group of volunteers. They are affiliated with the Baptist churches in Tennessee and other southern states. Their sole purpose is to provide aid and relief to various communities in time of need. They arrive at the church building and basically spend the following weeks helping others while the church family provides housing and food for them. It is a circle of love.
What generous individuals they are… supporting one another during time of need. Tennessee is named the Volunteer State and rightfully so.❤️🙏🏻
