Despite everything else going on in the world and their lives, Joe Casanova knew that something needed to be done for the people in Louisiana.

"I just kept hearing that song in my head, 'It's time for us to do something' and God telling me, 'I created you,'" said Joe, referring to the Matthew West song "Do Something." And Crosspointers joined him in answering the call, as dozens brought in supplies and filled trailers to be delivered to Houma.

Joe and his wife, Shelley, work and live in Louisiana, but also maintain a home in Mississippi and attend Crosspoint regularly. He had teamed up with Crosspoint Men's Ministry Leader Bobby Cox and then connected with Chad Callais, executive pastor at Cross Church in Houma, to identify needs and set up a plan for delivery and distribution last week.

"We know what it's like to be where our neighbors in Louisiana are living right now," said Pastor Israel Cox. "Although it's been 16 years, Hurricane Ida made memories of Katrina fresh again. It not only reminds us of the help that we received, but our call to help others. It's humbling to see God work through the people of our church and others." 

Stay tuned as additional needs are identified and another drive is scheduled in the near future.
