UPDATE ON TERRITORY FLOODING

The river has crested in Minot and they are calling for more rain. The church has started taking in water in the basement from ground saturation. The church has a daycare there that uses the basement. The city does not know how long residents will be displaced. They are allowing them to go to their homes today only to check sump pumps and homes. They are allowed to take personal items, but cannot move furniture, appliances, etc. They have to have ID to access their homes and be out by 6pm.

Theresa talked with the Bismarck, ND pastor's wife today and the church and parsonage there is not in any danger, but some of the members' relatives are having to make preparations.

Pierre, SD is also flooding and they have a dam in the town. This is a very difficult situation. Our Pastor in Bismarck has a brother that lives there and they are very concerned.

Thank each of you for your prayers.
