Praise the Lord, we have new ministry opportunities to pursue.
1. Bible Studies
Both the Day’s Inn and the Best Value Inn have agreed to allow us to use their facilities to host Bible Studies. We are praying about which day would be the best – we are leaning toward hosting both on Sunday afternoon. Pray that we have wisdom in choosing the right time.
2. FEMA Trailer sites
Anouk and I have mapped out 20 FEMA Trailer sites where evacuees are being relocated. Today we visited the Cypress trailer park where tonight or tomorrow morning, 33 evacuee families will be moving into their new homes. Anouk, Ray Mitchell and myself will be there tomorrow morning with Care Boxes to welcome them to their new homes. By God’s Providence we will be one of the first people to welcome them to their new homes and to give them the Gospel.
3. Thanksgiving
We have been considering what to do for Thanksgiving. At the Day’s Inn, there is a conference room with a full kitchen. On Thanksgiving Day, Anouk and I will prepare and host a Thanksgiving meal for the evacuees still living in the hotel. I plan to give the gospel and thank the Lord for his blessing. The staff is excited that we will be doing this; pray that we can have a ministry to them as well.
Please be praying for us as we seek to tell others about Christ and show His love to those around us.

Jeremy and Anouk,
I just found your website through Sharperiron. I am very glad to read about and see what you have been doing. Our church in Germany sent money to the efforts in Lafayette through Baptist Mid Missions. This is the first I have found out about what has been going on since mid-October (but we had not stopped praying for what you are doing). Thanks for letting us know about what the Lord is doing in Louisiana. God bless you and keep up the good work!
In Christ,
Jeff Brown, Erlangen, Germany
