Free Burma Ranger Event

From their site :

"The Free Burma Rangers' (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military attacks."

More information can be found at:

 "The purpose of this event was to provide updates on the situation inside Burma, as well as network, pray and discuss how you can get involved."

It was a privilege to be a part of this exercise. 

I urge you to check out  their website and learn more.

Cincinnati Tornado Clean Up

 A week after the tornado hit in Cincinnati, Arkansas the Boy Scout troop from Siloam Springs had a crew of 36 people out doing community service. Troop 84 helped out two different families in need and had a great experience.

Cincinnati Arkansas Tornado

The day after an EF3 tornado touched down in the small Northwest Arkansas town of Cincinnati clean-up crews and line-men work to get the town back together. My family and I spent the day together volunteering at different sites. The Red Cross has set up an Emercency Relief Station at a church in Cincinnati. Clean up will be slow, but their are  a lot of people willing to help. Please pray for the families that suffered.
