Surviving Alabama Tornadoes





















The Bostocks are unable to get online so they asked me to give an update. They are in Huntsville, Alabama and the latest line of storms that have been going through the south spawned about 162 tornadoes causing massive destruction including about 100 churches destroyed. They are all safe and doing good and there was also no damage to the RV or the Gotharts' home where they are staying! Praise the Lord for His hand of protection! They watched tornadoes form in the sky all around them and just a block down the street trees are down and a mile away homes are destroyed. You can see in the photo with the ABC News anchor in the post below that there are trees standing right next to the RV and they are still standing! Northern Alabama is without power for 4-5 days so they are blessed and thankful to have the RV generator. They are helping others by charging cell phones. They are under a dusk to dawn curfew and the closest available gasoline is in Tennessee. There are no traffic signals and no police officers available because they are all working to recover bodies and rescue victims. Glenda took the photo as she, Anna and Pam Gothart stood in line today to get groceries for the next few days. Greg and Glenda shot video of the storms and will post that next week.


Because of the power outage, the Bostocks will not be able to have their service this Sunday morning in Henagar. Please pray for provision for this ministry and that God will give them opportunities to reach out to the people of Alabama with Christ's hope and love. Pray for all of those who are dealing with the destruction and loss of family and friends. If you would like to help the Bostocks financially with their ministry and especially the needs of this southern tour, your gift of any amount would be a great blessing. You can give online on the Donations page under the Store tab or mail a donation to the address at the top of this page.


If you were looking to watch the ABC interview online, it was not able to air due to the tornadoes. We hope it will air on a later date and we will let you know when it is available. Thank you so much for your prayers and support of this ministry! The Lord reigns and He is faithful!
