IMPACT CHURCH FUNCTIONING AS DISTRIBUTION CENTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Bishop Gordon Atwell serves as conference superintendent for the Passion Connection Conference as well as senior pastor for Impact Church in Denham Springs, Louisiana. According to Atwell, thankfully, the church did not suffer any damage from the flooding. The church is being utilized for relief purposes, both as a distribution center for supplies as well as temporary housing. Through this morning, the church had housed 166 people and provided food for many displaced individuals.<\/p>\n

If you or your congregation would like to form a team and provide assistance, please contact Bishop Atwell at 225.333.1020 or via email at\u00a0GordonAtwell@aol.com<\/a><\/p>\n
