Jarred, one of the youth at my church, has assembled some great video footage of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, and set it to “God is God” by Steven Curtis Chapman. The footage includes scenes taken during the repair of the 17th St. Canal levee break, and where the London Avenue canal levee broke, as well as other scenes of Katrina’s destruction. It reminds us of God’s power, and of His mercy.
Hurricane Katrina has caused a lot of devastation in the New Orleans area, but one thing that it has accomplished is creating a lot of ministry opportunities. The God who knew you in the womb and knows the number of hairs on your head is not surprised by hurricanes and natural disasters, rushing around heaven trying to do damage control. As Christians, we have a unique opportunity to be His hands and feet, and to tell people about the amazing God we serve – and Katrina provided that opportunity. How can we not be grateful and praise God for it?
The video is here, available for download in various formats. Try to get a larger file, it’s worth it in terms of quality, but we didn’t want to leave anyone out so we also put together some lower quality video for the dialup folks. I thought this was really positive and inspirational – in spite of the massive damage to Jarred’s home, he’s kept up a great attitude, as have the other members of our church, many of whom lost everything.
Although you’re certainly free to download this and spread it around, we’d really appreciate your just sharing the link with people, so we can have some idea of how many people are watching.
