Christian churches and organizations are putting aside their differences in
Joplin, Missouri, to help victims of an F5 tornado that struck over a week
ago.
Thousands of people in
Joplin gathered for worship Sunday for the first time since the killer tornado
hit. John Swadley (right), lead pastor of Forest Park Baptist Church in Joplin,
said the tragic tornado has brought the larger church community
together. ( Calamity brings unity)
"Even churches that don't necessarily get along so well
normally have set aside whatever differences that they might have," he shares.
"And maybe if there ever was an answer to the prayer of Jesus in John, chapter
17, that his followers would be in unity and they would be one as he and the
Father are one, that's what we're seeing here in Joplin."
(Billy's Thoughts>>> Good for these churches. God does use bad things to see his will done.)
