Disaster Relief Efforts

Due to our success in accessing resources we were called upon to aid in community shelters daily feeding programs childcare, relocation services and reconnecting families. Pastor Duncan became the assistant chaplain at the Vicksburg convention center shelter and help transform the convention center into a highly successful emergency shelter environment. Living Word had ministers working in every shelter in Vicksburg to help be intermediaries for African-Americans and minority victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. We became the center point for disaster relief after organization such as the Salvation Army Red Cross and United Way began to scale down their efforts.
