The tiny town of Phil Campbell, Alabama, was devastated by a killer tornado in the spring of 2011. It was literally flattened! Now, three years later, I have the privilege of speaking to an amazing group of women on May 3rd.
The women of First Baptist Church of Phil Campbell have had a tremendous task. Their church was almost the only building left standing in this terrible tragedy and it became the “Command Center” for the disaster relieve effort.
Pray for me as I try and bring a little joy into the lives of these women, my heroes, who have made such a difference in the lives of the people of Phil Campbell, Alabama.
