As I write this on Saturday morning, the rain from Hurricane Ike is moving through Dallas. The impact of Ike is still unknown, but once again we are reminded of the need to pray for families who are experiencing devastation today in the aftermath of this massive storm. Please stop and pray for these, along with the churches in the Houston/Galveston region. I spoke yesterday with Dr. Edwin Young of the Second Baptist Church of Houston and assured him of our support as this great congregation ministers to displaced people with food, clothing and shelter. They, like many other churches in the area, are doing a super job of responding to the needs all around them.
Hurricanes like Ike remind us of our need to find our shelter in Christ who gives peace in the midst of the storm. Many people will walk into our services Saturday and Sunday in the middle of a personal storm of some kind. Pray they will find refuge in Jesus and a hope that endures...til the storm passes by.

Dear Pastor Graham,
We visited your church Sunday morning with Emmett and Jean Beam. We live in Nederland, Texas which is between Beaumont and Port Arthur. We are evacuees. We are truly blessed and received a blessing by being in service. Considering what we are going through, by being displaced because of power outages and our town being shut down, your sermon and the songs really touched us. Our home is intact with no damage as far as we know. The people of Bridge City and Orange were hit very hard in our area. If you are interested to see some of the pictures--go to kdfm.com, which is our local news station. Emmett and Jean are truly a blessing. We enjoyed being with them and the offer to stay with them.
We are in Georgetown with a family member and all is well. When we come back to Dallas, we will visit your church again. God Bless, Kristina DeVillier
