2nd Team Ready to Serve

Presbyterian Project's 2nd team has arrived in Oklahoma City ready to work with Samaritan's Purse to help those devastated by the tornadoes of May 2013.  There was some fear that with the snow in Pittsburgh today that the team might have some difficulty making the necessary connections.  But after a slight delay in Pittsburgh, the team arrived safe and mostly sound :) in Oklahoma at 5:30 pm.  It was good to be together and there is a lot of excitement about what this week will bring.

We arrived at Church of the Harvest (Norman campus), got some Samaritan Purse gear to wear on site and had an orientation of the building.  Arrangements look wonderful.  Bunk beds, large fellowship area and plenty of space to rest and have fun together.  Shower trailer is outside, but before you feel bad that we have to walk outside to get there, know that it was 77 degrees here today!!!  Sorry, to all of you back in Pittsburgh shoveling from a half foot of snow.

We took a friend's suggestion and went to eat at the Mexican restaurant, Chuy's.  Great place...looked very authentic.  But the best part of dinner was hanging with these authentic brothers and sisters in Christ.  I look forward to to being "seed throwers" and "fire starters" for Jesus this week.

Time for a good night sleep.  Tomorrow we wake at 6:30 am...orientation, devotion and off to work.  Pray for this team this week.  Pray for those still trying to recover from this disaster.  Pray for those we will be working with and for the ministry happening here.

Blessings,

Jeff Potter
