San Diego Fires Day 6

We (Wayne and I) continued working at HQ today. It is apparent the Red Cross has plenty of people on this job. Today the Damage assesment crews hit the road to determine the extent of the relief dollars to help the people of San diego County.

Ramona, CA is the site of the Hilltop Rescue and Relief push to help in this event. The Ramona church of Christ is the staging area. This little church of 30 is ready to reach out to their community. They have opened up their building and their lives for the next 90+ days. Hilltop has a video interview on their website. Wayne and I visted the area where the interviews were conducted. There is a great need for the hands of Christ to arrive in this area and work. Look at your hands and see if yours are the ones some person who lost their home needs to help them recover from the loss of a home and then find Jesus Christ.

Here is a copy of the list from Hilltop that are their and ours needs for this effort.
