New EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response Center

On Sunday, August 30, the four-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the new EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response Center was dedicated to the Lord in Louisiana.

At the service, a DVD reminded participants of the first few days after Katrina and how the people of God responded. Mark Lewis of EFCA TouchGlobal Crisis Response and Pastor Michael Sprague of Trinity EFC in Covington recounted stories of life-change and God's intervention. State Representative John Schroder shared his observation about faith-based organizations doing what government cannot do and was not designed to do. John Horst (EFCA TouchGlobal) and Sherman McLain (elder of Trinity EFC) led the dedication prayer. Many guests and friends joined the celebration for the day including Vixie Spencer, Liam Brown, Bill and Kathleen Brown, Terry Sistruck and John Gerhardt (Urban Impact) and four special ambassadors sent from Hershey Evangelical Free Church. Hershey EFC sent 340 volunteers to Louisiana to help over the last four years!
