How You Can Help Churches Impacted by the Hurricane and Levee Break

Pastor Jerry Q. Parries of Tehillah Music Group shares with TBGB how you can help New Orleans churches that were victims of Hurricane Katrina and the levee break. When a church finds itself in a tough time it relies on the people of God and its community to help it to get through with strength and togetherness. Even those who are not from the local area could help through companies similar to Tithe.ly to give aid to a church in need.

Dear Friends,

I greet you in divine love!

I am Pastor Jerry Q. Parries, President of Tehillah Music Group as well as Pastor of the Christian Family Worship Center. I have lived in New Orleans for the past 8 years under the leadership of Bishop Paul S. Morton. On June 15, 2005 I was sent out by Bishop Morton to start a Ministry in Orlando FL.

On Monday August 29, 2005, New Orleans and the Gulf Coast had widespread destruction from Hurricane Katrina. An estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places, with miles and miles of homes swamped. Some of the floodings in homes could have been a result of inadequate or damaged drains for rainwater, like blocked gutters resulting in leaks. Services like Clean Pro Gutter Cleaning Charleston might be able to help homeowners suffering from such a situation as they can remove the blockage and restore the guttering.

We need to help the people of God who have had this misfortune. Bishop Paul Morton’s church, Greater Saint Stephens Full Gospel Baptist Church, Beacon Light Cathedral and Life Center Cathedral and many other church locations are still under water or are having major flooding problems.

To that end, Pastor Jerry Q. Parries, Max Siegel, Sheilah Belle, Gospel Today Magazine, The Belle Report and Verity Records are initiating efforts for our communities to pull together to help our brothers and sisters in the south. Our hope is to have gospel announcers, artists and churches host, fund raisers or benefit concerts for this relief effort.

All monies will be sent to: The Full Gospel Baptist Church Hurricane Relief Fund at 1301 Alamanace Church Rd. Greenboro NC. 27406. Please write in the check memo “Gospel Relief Fund/TBR”.

Bishop Paul S. Morton has been a blessing to the church community, and now it is time for the church community to help not only Bishop Paul S. Morton, but the people of New Orleans. For additional information call; Pastor Jerry Q. Parries at (504) 382-7598 or Sheilah Belle at (804) 775-6990. Or e-mail us at JerryQII@yahoo.com. The turn around time on these concerts is 30 to 60 days from TODAY!
