As we post this issue of GCI Weekly Update, hurricane Isaac has made landfall in southeastern Louisiana. The cities of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, where GCI has congregations, and in the path of Isaac. Fortunately, its severity is less than predicted. However, Isaac is still quite powerful and many people are in harm’s way, with flooding a major concern.
Please pray for all those being impacted by Isaac, including GCI pastors Mike Horchak (Hammond, LA); Anthony Rice (Baton Rouge, LA); Richard Young (Lake Charles, LA); John Novick (Hattiesburg, MS); Leonard Tillotson (Natchez, MS); Andrew Britton (Mobile, AL); Phil Nichols (Monroeville, AL); and GCI ministry developer Ted Johnston (Foley, AL).
Despite these concerns, there is some good news. Over the next several days, it appears that as Isaac travels north, it will bring badly needed rain to the drought-stricken areas in the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys (see the map above). Please pray about this situation as well.
