Tornado Damage of January 23

In light of the destruction from the January 23 tornadoes near Birmingham, we have the following report:
  • All of our Alabama CBF churches that have reported back to us have no damage.
  • We are partnering with VOA Southeast for connections to volunteer efforts and providing information for supplies needed and locations for service.
  • There is an immediate need for gatorade, cleaning supplies, large black trash bags, and canned good with pop-tops (so they can be opened without can openers). THEY DO NOT NEED WATER at this time. They can be taken to: 
    Christian Service Mission
    3600 3rd Ave South
    Birmingham
    (additional locations to be listed soon) 
  • They are also in need of contractors.
  • The number one need for the next few weeks will be financial donations as we work with VOA Southeast to clear lots. You can send money marked "tornado disaster relief" to ALCBF, PO Box 919, Madison, AL, 35758.

New Church Construction Needs

Heflin, AL
Three years ago a tornado swept through Heflin, Alabama, destroying homes and felling dozens of pines on property belonging to Les Jones' family. Les is the founding pastor of a new CBF church in Heflin named Heritage Baptist Church. Those trees, after a great labor of love were turned into 25,000 board feet of lumber cut to build the new church's first building. Ground-breaking was held earlier, the plans are drawn, and the site is being prepared to build!
