This is a serious situation, and as our brothers and sisters at City Gates Academy, continue to distribute relief bags to their local community, we need to continue to lift them up in prayer. From messages we’ve received from Glenn, they are beginning to feel the pressure and are tired from the trauma of the last 5 days. The Lord is working through them and the huge mission they have undertaken to reach out to the Community!
