on March 15, 2010This church was built about 50 years ago by my father Rev. Levi Storms. It was a bit upsetting to see the damage, it is like burning a bit of our past as all of his family helped build the church. Our prayers are with the church family and pray that God will sustain them in this time of disaster. There is a oil painting of the church somehere in our family and that will be a picture that will remind us of our past.
