Bible Baptist Church Seeks Volunteers and Supplies to Assist Harvey Victims
Posted on August 30, 2017
Author Jacque Ryan, WKVI
Members of the Bible Baptist Church of Knox are putting together an impromptu mission trip to assist victims of the natural disaster that struck Texas. Pastor James Adcock made contact with a Houston Pastor and will be communicating with him about when and where volunteers will be needed and the type of supplies that could assist the community.
Adcock said this mission trip is a way to practically apply the kind of messages he preaches to his congregation. “At Bible Baptist Church we talk about missions but we want to talk about missions in a way that its real and relevant to us today” Adcock told WKVI,”so when the hurricane came into Texas and I was praying I felt like this was our opportunity to not just sit back…but to actually be active.”
Another member assisting with this mission trip is Ed Martin who is in charge of community outreach at the church. He feels this mission trip is a great way for our community’s compassion to spread across the country.
Martin said “What a better outreach than to go across the United States and reach out to people who have had this devastation? James has put a list on Facebook on the things that they will need later on when the water recedes so that’s what we’ll be taking down to Texas with us.”
Some of those items include de-humidifiers, portable blowers, air circulators, extension cords, pop up canopies, shovels, wheelbarrows, dishwashing gloves, mops and brooms. If you’re curious about what other supplies are needed or you wish to volunteer, contact Pastor Adcock through the Bible Baptist Church Facebook page (or see list below).
Adcock said they plan to leave after Labor Day, early Tuesday morning and return on Saturday. They will be driving down with a couple of trailers and trucks full of supplies and volunteers. The pastor said individuals can also personally assist the missionaries by donating gift cards for restaurants and gas stations and keeping them in their prayers.
