Massive Car Crash Leaves Two Dead, 25 Injured

10394501-standardEarly Thursday morning the I-10 east-bound highway was the site for a 40 vehicle pile-up, killing 2 men, and injuring 25 other people. Many of these people were making their way from Slidell to New Orleans for work. It is a sobering thing to realize that we at Homeland Missions often take that same route to New Orleans, and how easily we could find ourselves here one moment, and gone the next. Please pray for those people who are involved, as well as their families, as they handle the devastating news. For more information, read this article in the Times Picayune.

New Orleans’ Homeless Living in Squalor

unity-caseworker-shamus-rohn-homelessnessjpg-d3ddc4c16870d26fIts been almost six years since hurricane Katrina and there are still 43,000 buildings that are abandoned in the Greater New Orleans area. People have not returned to their homes for many reasons, but the buildings still stand, waiting to be rebuilt or torn down. In the meantime, some of these dilapidated homes have become a makeshift shelter for many of New Orleans' homeless residents. The following video follows a young man who works with UNITY, a local New Orleans nonprofit organization that is committed to providing homes for the homeless. Pray for those in this area who have no where to call home, and pray for those people serving them everyday. For the full article in Time click here.  For more information about UNITY click here.

Aid for Tornado Victims

tornadoWe are gathering information for a relief drive that we are putting together for the recent victims of tornadoes. If you know of anyone in the Body of Christ that directly affected by these storms, please contact us at media@homelandmissions.org or just leave a comment for us here on the blog.  It is our desire to deal directly with a church in those areas and collect things/funds for them that will be used by them as it fits their specific needs. So if you know of anyone in LA, MS, AL, MO or OK etc. put us in touch with them. We pray for all those involved. May the LORD's comfort be with them as they seek to recover from these tragic losses.

The Aftermath of the Japanese Tsunami

girl cryingThe world, and certainly Japan, are still rolling in the aftermath of the largest earthquake to ever hit the small country on March 11, 2011. The tsunami that quickly followed incurred even more damage on the northeastern coast, and caused unprecedented destruction. Since then, Japan has been hit by many more aftershocks that continue to strike fear and anxiety into the hearts of the Japanese, and cause even more damage. shelterToday, April 7, another earthquake -with a magnitude of 7.1  (the largest aftershock since the earthquake on March 11th)- erupted just off of Japan's northeast coast.  Another tsunami warning had been issued, but thankfully no tsunami arrived, and the damage caused by this most recent earthquake was minimal. The death toll has risen to approximately 12,500, with 15,000 people still missing.  Authorities are expecting the final death toll to reach 20,000 people. nuclear reactor160,000 are homeless, and are currently residing in temporary shelters. Among all of this heartbreaking news is the continued threat of nuclear explosions within three of their nuclear reactors.   Many Japanese families are being shuttled and quarantined to hopefully quash the spread of radiation, while all the while Japanese and American personnel are searching for victims of the quake and tsunami. quarantinedPlease continue to pray for the Japanese, that the Lord would use this devastating time to bring more of his people to Him.  Pray that they would not only receive worldly comfort, but the peace and comfort that only the Spirit of God can provide. For more detailed information, and a timeline of the events since the earthquake, check out the New York Times article here.
