For the second day in a row, outage-weary residents in Madison County got to enjoy delicious, hot meals Thursday from some pretty special strangers.
Members of an Oklahoma-based disaster relief team from the Southern Baptist Convention have set up shop at First Baptist Madisonville where they're cooking up food for those in need. They're providing lunch and dinner for residents in Madisonville, Midway and North Zulch.
"We come prepared to serve," said Gene Presley, SBC Disaster Relief Team. "We feel like that's what our Lord and Saviour did. He gives us a command to do that and we just feel called to do that"
Even with power restored to much of Madison County, the group plans to keep cooking as long as its needed. "It's a blessing," Presley said. "I mean we just get such a good feeling from helping people. It's fantastic."

My daughter is on the VFD in N.Z.and I went with her saturday the 20th. to pick up the hot meals for our community and it was over whelming to see the oklahoma-based disaster relief team from the SBC cooking the food and getting it ready for everyone, all without one frown, all we could do is cry . I'm so proud of her and all the others that have been there at the station and that has spent many hours there helping all they could .Thank you all and thank you SBC disaster relief team. God Bless you.
