Do you need a place to stay?
It looks like we all should be looking for a place to stay for at least weeks if not months. I know that some of you are in hotels. I have had many people contact me with offers of places to stay in Birmingham, Atlanta, Tennesee, Dallas, New Jersey, etc. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need a place to stay. Needless to say, these families are willing to house you, feed you, perhaps help you find temporary employment, perhaps help get your children enrolled in school.
If you are not from New Orleans, and would like to provide housing, contact me as well.
Call me on my cell (504-975-7570) or email me. Yes, you should be able to get me on my cell. It might take a couple of tries.

I was serious.. if anyone needs a place to stay.. I have an empty room in my apartment here in Phoenix. I also can get you a temporary job (or as long as you want it I guess) I know it might be far.. but I have a great church family here, a big heart, and an empty room. 602-578-0858
Hey everyone. Aaron Latina here. Trish and I have been watching the news and it's truly unbelievable. We've had several people from our church in St. Louis offer their homes to anyone who needs to get out of a hotel and find a temporary place to stay. Please call us if you need it- 636-794-6204. We're praying for you constantly.
We were also blessed to be a part of the Berean Family just a few years ago. We still feel like you are our family--
We are just north a little in Memphis-- we can house at least 10-15 extra people here... we have a camper that sleeps 8 comfortable. If you homeschool-- we do too & we have access to all the curriculum you need, if not, we have the best schools in the county (Tipton).
PLEASE LET US GIVE BACK THE BLESSINGS YOU GAVE TO US- (WE HAD THE TWINS & YOU ALL TOOK CARE OF US WHEN WE ALMOST LOST THEM). You took care of CJ & the kids when Vince was deployed!
You changed our lives forever with the love of Jesus! Now it's our blessing to serve.
We will be moving to Dallas,TX next year after Vince retires from the Navy, to attend Seminary for full time ministry- Berean Family- YOU taught us what true ministry was all about!
Woffords, Midtbos, Peggy Miller-- & many more... Please let us hear from you.

We will come get you also!
Parents-- We will take care of the kids if you need to take care of business down there-- Anyone who knows us, knows we keep as many as 10 more kids at a time besides our 5 for things that come up... Our hearts are sooo burdened for NOLA!
Let us know what we can do!
We are lifting you up in prayer continually!
We Love you!
The Willis Family-
Most of the Wallace clan arrived yesterday, but we have plenty of room in NE Tennessee! We're in the very NE corner of the state (about 6 hours from Birmingham). Also hearing of jobs available, and we are part of an incredible church! If we can help, call my cell at 423-741-0845!
Hello I am Robert Edwards, a brother in Christ and I am from a fellowship of believers in Garland TX. I wanted to know if you know of anyone that needs places to stay, our whole fellowship wants to help out during this disaster. We want to help by offering our homes for people who need them. Please contact me through email or call me at 214.543.7433.
If not then may the Lord bless you guys,
Robert Edwards
Sorry, my email is robertissaved@yahoo.com
I know we are some distance away, but...we at Pike Creek Bible Church in Newark, Delaware want you to know, we are prepared to take in ANY of your people who need a place to stay for awhile!
Just let us know. Call Pastor Rick Dodson @ 302-731-7770 (Ext. 101) or 610-869-2643 (Home) or 302-740-7391.
Here's another one for you to think about! One of the ministries of Pike Creek Bible Church is Pike Creek Christian School. We would like to invite anyone from Berean Bible Church, who chooses to temporarily relocate to our area, to enroll their children in our school FOR FREE! Stay with one of our church families and have 'peace of mind' that your kids education will not be interrupted. www.pikecreekchristianschool.org
It's certainly worth more than the airfare!
we have opened our home here in Central Texas for any family needing a place to stay. I can take a family 4-6 people and a pet or two if needed.
Lorraine here near Port Arthur, Texas at a cousin's house with my mother, sister, brother-in-law and their friend visiting from California (great timing!). Located one niece on Wed. and finally located the other one early this morning, so all is well and God is good!
Take care.
Yes we are very far away but my sister is thinking of sending my nephew since he will not be able to go to school for a while and we will homeschool him. So if anyone would like to come or even send your teenager our home is open. We are on the island of Oahu' in Hawaii. Our number is 808-372-4475. I know it sounds crazy to come this far but if we can help we would love to do that in any way possible.
Love ,
Sarah and Brandon Sullivan
Doug,
Calvary Bible Church and Calvary Christian School of Derry, NH (30 miles outside of Boston) will do our best to find a place for families to stay and to provide education for the children. We also have a large home school network for any home schoolers. If anyone is interested please do not hesitate to contact me. john.talley@ccsderry.org or 603-475-4061
Attended Berean about 9 years ago while working with the Navy on a ship at Avondale. Would be happy to help anyone out if you need assistance or housing in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. You're in our prayers!
Easton Bible Church of Hainesport, NJ would like to offer our help. We have people willing to open their homes. We are taking a special offering tomorrow and would love to get it to a church in the area. If you can contact us please call.
609-267-5517 or 609-267-4755
Doug - we attended Berean from 1994-1996, and have since been in San Antonio, Colorado Springs, and now the Washington DC area. We have spare beds for 6, and can put additional kids in sleeping bags on the floor. We're in Clarksburg, MD, 20 minutes from the Shady Grove Metro station. If there is a big family, we'd be glad to have them for as many months as necessary.
There are decent schools in the area, though we still homeschool.

Hi,
I am a pastor of a Bible Church in RI, and I am looking for a Christian family that needs housing. I would prefer to help a young family with children. If you could get back to me, I would love to be a blessing.

To my brothers & sisters of other Bible churches. It's very exciting to see us all respond to Berean Bible Church's need. How about we "pool" our resources! Let's work together to provide uninterupted support for Berean's missionary family and let's offer to pay the pastor's salaries for a year so they can return to New Orleans and co-ordinate outreach efforts to their community! We have already discussed modifying our budget in order to help. Why not join us! Together we can make a difference! PCBC is willing to organize such an effort...if you all are interested. Please contact us at Dodson@PikeCreekBC.org and let us know if you'd like to be part of this effort. Hang in there Brad & Doug. Help is on the way!!!
I just sent an email to our pastor. We have a bed (not a room - sorry) in our boy's room.
We are half a block from excellent public transportation in the middle of San Francisco.
Can help with many things - and I think students can transfer to SF-State
http://www.sfsu.edu/~news/prsrelea/fy05/016.htm
please contact our church http://www.bethelsf.org/ with detailed situation - and we'll do our best to help.
If God planed someone for us, He'll make it happen.
Sophie S.
It's a joy to see so many believers around the country coming alongside. We went to Berean 20+ years ago, and we're now in the Chicago area. Would welcome a family to stay with us!

Hi Doug,
My husband is a pastor in Maryland - we moved from Pennsylvania in March. We stil have a 3 BR house there (Tyrone, PA - about 30 minutes from Penn State) we are willing to make it available to a non-smoking family for 1-2 months. I know our church families in both states would help to supply the family with essentials for living.
