Jeffrey Blackburn is pastor of the Greensburg, Kansas, Mennonite Church. He’s also a writer for a couple of Barclay Press publications—Fruit of the Vine (daily devotional) and Adult Friend (Bible study curriculum). Jeffery, his wife, and their daughter were in their basement as the tornado demolished their home and church.

Lord, as Jeffrey ministers to the physical and emotional needs of those in his community, I pray that the Holy Spirit will minister to his needs. Give him a clear mind in the midst of chaos. Give him grace and the ability to be an agent of your grace. Amen.

Dan, do you think there is any practical way for us to help support Jeffrey and his family? They'll be in my prayers and if they have immediate needs, please let us know.

Kathy, I don't have a good answer to your question. I have a lot of respect for the Mennonite Disaster Service and they were quickly on the scene in Geensburg. Their web site (http://www.mds.mennonite.net/Home) has a photo of Jeffery on the home page and other photos and information. Also a donation option.
