LAFAYETTE, LA. – Anticipating things that might happen during the hurricane season, the Lafayette and New Iberia Seventh-day Adventist churches decided to freshen up their disaster supplies and training.
Mateo Ramirez, pastor of Lafayette and New Iberia churches, contacted Lavida Whitson, Arkansas-Louisiana Conference Adventist Community Services Disaster Response director, and arranged for Marshal Gonzales to do a district-wide training.
A large group of willing people are now trained and ready for hurricane season.
