Churches working together

Today I met with an old friend who is now at another local church in the Danville area. His church is linked with a church in Baton Rouge that has become a center for organizing relief over there, so he has a great conduit to a clear way to help and be involved. I was excited to meet with him and put our heads together to help our commuties become involved.
We would like to see churches in the Alamo/Danville area work together instead of separately on helping people. We believe this act of serving together will not only allow us to make a greater impact, but it will help our separate church communities learn to see themselves as God's hands and feet working TOGETHER to bless the world around us. I surely hope and pray that other church communities are open to partnering with us.
We are looking to send supplies and money and also send small groups of volunteers to Baton Rouge. May God use our small efforts to help these people.
May those who follow Jesus learn from the compassion he showed and taught throughout his earthly ministry.
