I just communicated with Pastor Dino Rizzo at Healing Place in Baton Rouge. They are in the process of mobilizing and bracing for Gustav. As Matthew and our FlipSide Baton Rouge team were serving at the HP Dream Center a few weeks ago, they saw first hand the great need in that area.

I believe it is important for all of us to pray through this weekend for the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast as they brace for this storm. I let Pastor Dino know that if Healing Place needs The ROCK’s help, we will mobilize and partner with them.

Pastor Dino will keep everyone updated via Twitter at twitter.com/dinorizzo.

So, stop right now and pray for their safety. Pastor Dino said that there is fear because of the outcome of Hurricane Katrina. So pray for stability and peace in the midst of this storm.

We’ll keep you posted.
