How Are The Grovers In New Orleans?

All of us have been a bit overwhelmed these last two days as we watch the devastation in New Orleans. Some of you are friends with Rick and Laura Grover who are church planters in New Orleans and, like many others, are wondering how they are doing and where they are.

All things considered they are doing pretty well. They do not know when they will be able to go back to their home and they don't know how extensive the damage is. However, they have seen several nearby landmarks to their home that were flooded significantly.

Rick and Laura will be going to Lexington, KY where Laura's family lives. They plan on enrolling their kids in school there and going back to NO when possible. Rick is coordinating some relief funds and efforts through a church planting organization that he is associated with called Stadia. I will provide us with some info on how we can contribute to the effort soon. In the next week or so Stadia will be coordinating a nationwide love offering for the relief efforts. 100% of the contributions will go to relief efforts.
