Update: Lawson and Nathan in TX

We know you all are eager to hear how Lawson and Nathan Bates' trip to Texas went. The brothers traveled down to an area near Houston to do rescue work with their boat. In just a couple days, they were able to save more than 100 people, including a mother and her three-month-old baby.

As you can imagine, the work was physically and emotionally draining. There are thousands of people facing seemingly hopeless situations.

Lawson shares the perspective that he gained while down in Texas:

Simply put, the devastation is mind-boggling, but the heart of Texas and the tens of thousands of volunteers pouring in from all over the U.S., is nothing short of amazing! Lately, the news has shown a country inundated with divisiveness, hate, controversy and unrest; but in these past few days (at a time when we absolutely needed unity the most) all I've seen here is Americans working together, giving of themselves, jumping in whenever and wherever needed, and literally putting their lives on the line for complete strangers. A tragedy on a horrific scale has truly brought out the best in so many. In Romans 12, Paul reminds us not to be overcome by evil, but instead to overcome it with good! 

Please continue to pray for those impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
