The first full week of ministry is now drawing to a conclusion in Columbia, S.C., the area assigned to Alabama for disaster relief work. Four associational teams supported by a feeding team, assessors, chaplains, administration and white hat leadership have established operations at North Trenholm Baptist Church. Ministry has been productive and our teams currently onsite are about to transition out to return to Alabama.
