I heard a report on the radio that Fats Domino has been found safe. Here is another relief idea for an easily forgotten population:
In the wake of the death, destruction, and chaos unleashed by Hurricane Katrina, the staff and volunteers of Prison Fellowship are turning to Almighty God in prayer for the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
We are also consulting with state officials who are dealing with the enormous task of relocating entire prison populations away from the affected areas. As a result, Prison Fellowship is gathering critical supplies — toiletries, blankets, etc. — to truck down to Louisiana’s prisons.
These prisons need these supplies to accommodate the influx of new inmates. Obviously, for the prisoners and the corrections staff, this is an enormous humanitarian and security concern.
To contribute to this relief effort, click here. You may also call 1-800-206-9764.
Please visit www.prisonfellowship.org for special coverage of Prison Fellowship’s efforts to help those who are suffering.
I ask your prayers not only for the storm’s victims, but for Prison Fellowship as we seek to continue our ministry to prisoners and their families—especially in the storm-torn areas of the Gulf coast.
Thank you for your contributions and prayers!
Mark Earley President, Prison Fellowship Jim

P.S. - On Nightline a couple of nights ago, I heard Wynton Marsalis saying that New Orleans resident Fats Dominio was missing. Hope he's found.
