By Bob Barnes

I was searching for a group to work with this week in Eastern Kentucky and found Christian Appalachian Project.



After I had volunteered, I was reading about the group on their website. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a former resident of Adair County and Lindsey Wilson College employee was their President and C.E.O., this being Guy Adams.

I will be leaving Wednesday with my employee and what looks like three more to help with the cleaning from their March 2, 2012 EF-3 tornado.

My planned return date will be Friday or Saturday evening. A member from 3 Trees Church called me today and told me that they will be sending a group in the near future.

The website of C.A.P. is ChristianAppalachian.org, if anyone would like to see what they do or would want to help by volunteering with the cleanup in Eastern Kentucky.

On the same day as our state's devastating tornadoes, the town of Harvest, Alabama was hit by their second tornado in 10 months. This happens to be one of the towns that I worked in last April and May.

Some 25 homes that had been just recently rebuilt were damaged or destroyed again. I hate that I will not be able to help them again, but this trip needs to be for our Eastern Kentucky neighbors. - Bob Barnes
