Berean Hurricane Relief Fund

I know that many of you who have visited this blog have expressed interest in contributing to Berean and our efforts at helping people recover from Hurricane Katrina. We have been able to work with our bank to set up a special fund to which you can contribute.

The money that is contributed to the fund will be used for:

• Helping familes rebuild/repair their homes that were damaged.
• Providing any support needed for these families while they are in the process of rebuilding their home.
• Making sure that the initial major costs of our church are paid so that we can keep ministering to the hurting and needy of New Orleans. This would include our missionary support, ministry staff and mortgage obligations.
  

If you would like to contribute to this fund, there are three ways to do so.

1. You can transfer money electronically to the fund. In order to do this, you will need our account number and the routing number. We would be happy to provide that for you. Please contact Doug or Brad.
2. You can visit your local Hibernia bank and make a direct deposit into the fund. Again, you will need our account number to do so.
3. You can mail a check to this address:

Hibernia National Bank
Attn: Keith Jordan
P. O. Box 3597
Baton Rouge, LA 70121

Please make your checks payable to "Berean Bible Church." Write "Berean Hurricane Relief Fund" on the comment line.

It looks like Crystal and I will be moving down to Baton Rouge in the next couple of days. Community Bible Church has graciously offered to put us up in an apartment. We are planning on praying and planning this weekend about how Berean can play a role in rebuiding New Orleans.

Thanks!

Doug
