CLBA Disaster Relief

It was hot this week, but the heat did not prevent the CLBA Disaster Relief Team from helping with a couple of local projects this past Tuesday. We removed a wind damaged tree in the Spring Cove area (a HUGE THANKS to Ms. Beverly Bendall for allowing us to drive through her property to reach the debris dump site!) as well as cleaning up another downed tree on Chisholm Road. Led by our fearless leader Forrest Wright, this week’s workers included Phil Headly, David Cumby, Kevin Lamb and new trainee Andrew Graves. And we can’t overlook the help of future DR Team member Fletcher Graves. Rachel Graves, thanks for the water and refreshments!

The CLBA Disaster Relief Team was in Killen yesterday. It was a hot, humid day to clean up this pine tree - but we did it! Big thanks to CLBA-DR Team Members Forrest Wright, Bobby Young, Walter Parsley, Keith Jones, Lewis Harrell and Phil Headly!

Though the CLBA Chainsaw Team has returned, we still have CLBA Disaster Relief Team members in Greenville. Let's keep Shower Team member Hollis White in our prayers as he serves in Greenville this week.

Friday, Feb 6, we finished up in Greenville - it was a full day. Phil Headly got to drive a Maserati (well... at least down the driveway)... we had two roof repairs... and once again, LOTS of cleanup. There are power poles down everywhere we go... it could be another couple of weeks before some of these folks have power... keep them in your prayers! The CLBA Chainsaw Team teamed up with the Winston County Chainsaw Team - we enjoyed working this week with Winston County members Dave Guiser and David Kelly! And we had future CLBA Chainsaw member Fletcher Graves help wash the equipment upon our return. And of course, there's ALWAYS thanks and gratitude to Walter (you know who you are)!! Thank you all for your prayers and support this past week....

Another dusty, breezy, Delta day… Anything but sleepy! We hit the ground this morning finishing a job we started yesterday… and ending up at this site. Several limbs down and two trees on the house. In fact, we had to being in the big gun - the skid steer The breeze off the fields made the cool temps even cooler… but hearts were warm doing the work for our Lord!

It was a full day today! Cold, but a full day… the Mississippi delta is flat - you can see for miles! As such, there’s nothing to stop the wind - which adds to the cold…

It rained off and on all day Tuesday - more on than off… we did a couple of small jobs as well as a home with 3 large magnolias with lots of limbs down and hanging.

CLBA is In the news! Thank you Aria and the great folks at 48!!
