PCG National Missions Director Andy Hunt mustered six disaster response teams from around the nation to come and assist in the Joplin tornado relief efforts.

Here, Hunt is scheduling each teams' duties for the day.


 

Here's a pic of one of the PCG National Missions Disaster Response Trailers. This particular trailer belongs to Unit Seven.

These were taken at ChristPointe Church (PCG) at 23rd and Annie Baxter, just a few blocks NE of the hospital.
This is the site of one of the neighborhood feeding stations as well as a worksite.

My other post has some unreal pics of what it looks like just north of here, which is just south of the high school site.


 


 

One of our feeding stations is set up in the middle of the devastation between the high school and Iowa street.
