GULF COAST (ANS) -- With Hurricane Katrina, a category 5 level storm, making first landfall just east of New Orleans, at about 6 a.m. CDT, August 29, emergency response officials moved men and materiel into place to help those affected while predicting it could be one of the most damaging storms in the history of the United States.
Christian Emergency Network (CEN) Founder and Chairman Mary Marr is calling upon Christians to help share the love of Christ in this trying time with a single voice, and to heed the advice of emergency preparedness experts.
In a press release to media outlets, Marr said: "At a time like this, the inclination of a Christian is to help, and that is exactly what we should do."
"However, it is critical that we help in ways that are the most practical, so it is important to heed what experts tell us. Some efforts could be unnecessarily duplicated, or folks could actually hinder the work of emergency workers if they don’t respond appropriately."
