TN Flood Recovery Day 1

Posted by admin | Filed under Blog

Conduit family and friends,
This update is brought to you from Jeremy Hezlep instead of our fearless leader Darren. I say that only so you don’t wonder what happened to Darren’s ability to write an email and also to apologize for spelling/grammatical errors

Today a group of people from Conduit Church and also Journey Church met at the Factory in Franklin, TN. We had shovels, gloves, boots and a longing to help with the cleanup from this horrendous flood. There was really no plan but to just look/hear about need and be lead by the Holy Spirit. We were given info that the Cottonwood subdivision in Franklin was where there was immediate need. Darren also took a team of people to help in Bellevue. The devastation was unbelievable. Homes had been completely destroyed. Last week there was a field and today there is a river behind most people’s homes. The teams worked hard for many hours going from house to house ripping up carpet, tearing drywall down, trying to salvage pictures, and to try and save anything that can be carried. Here is the crazy part about this whole thing. Most of the people don’t have flood insurance. Why would they? The closest water for some was miles away. For many FEMA is their only hope of recovery. I say this is where the church can step in to assist.

It was amazing though to see the church come together. I am not talking about Conduit Church. I am talking about the body of Christ. There were many different people serving in any place that had need. This was a time for Christians to not sit around and debate theology or worry about personal preference. It was a time to put our money where our mouth is and SERVE.

Tomorrow starts Day 2. Here is the plan. We will be meeting at 10am under the big parking pavilion behind The Factory in Franklin. The plan is to head to Bellevue. There are a lot of people helping in Franklin, but almost no one helping in Belle View.
We need to condense vehicles because the police will only let so many cars through.
Here are the items that are important to bring and also are current needs.
Work boots (Pastor Jamie George stepped on a nail today. There are nails everywhere.), wheel barrows, work gloves, medical/rubber gloves, shovels, hammers, utility knives, push brooms, garbage bags, food, water. This list is ever growing, so please use your own judgment. Remember this is not glamorous. There is a ton of work to be done.

Giving: A lot of people are asking where they can give financially. Here is a link to donate to the flood relief through the Conduit Mission non-profit organization.

Thanks to everyone who is helping and for the many prayers. Please look for opportunities to serve and let the Holy Spirit be your guide.
Our work is just beginning.

Jeremy
