Lott Carey to support Hurricane Ida victims

The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society has committed to support victims of Hurricane Ida that landed on the United States Gulf Coast in late August.
Reaching peak intensity of 150 mph (240 km/h), Ida caused considerable damage and destruction in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Significant damage was recorded in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Much of the city lost electricity due to downed transmission lines. Approximately one million people in Louisiana were left without power. Thousands lost their homes and are seeking shelter.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said the damage was “catastrophic” and that officials believed the death toll “could rise considerably.”
Heavy rain and tornados associated with the hurricane caused loss of life and widespread destruction in the MidAtlantic and Northeast regions, including in Maryland and New York City.
Lott Carey, through its partnerships with churches and others, will provide much needed assistance, especially food, water, and shelter.
“Lott Carey was a lifeline to persons affected by Hurricane Katrina 16 years ago,” said Lott Carey Executive Secretary-Treasurer Emmett Dunn.
“We did the same for those affected by other hurricanes in the United States and elsewhere. We will minister to victims of Hurricane Ida in the same vein, expressing the love and compassion of Christ on the behalf of God’s people.”
Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed New Orleans and other cities in 2005. Lott Carey and its partners ran mobile kitchens and sent relief supplies. It offered job skills training, education assistance, as well as home construction to help hurricane victims get back on their feet.
“I appeal to churches, institutions, organizations and persons of goodwill to join Lott Carey in bringing relief, comfort, and hope to those in need,” said Rev. Dunn.
Donations may be made at https://lottcarey.org/donate. For additional information, email lottcarey@lottcarey.org.
Established in 1897, Lott Carey has networks in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America.
Based in the Washington DC Metro Area, Lott Carey provides financial support and technical assistance in leadership development, education, training, healthcare, advocacy, disaster relief, and other services.

‘Walk in the footsteps of Rev. Lott Carey’ in the Motherland

The Lott Carey Legacy Mission Emersion Pilgrimage to Africa is scheduled for February 1-11, 2022. The group will also visit Ghana, a cultural icon with about 950 miles between the capitals.

While in Liberia, Africa’s oldest republic, missionaries will visit the Lott Carey Mission School, experience the culture of Africa’s oldest republic, founded by free Blacks in 1847 and worship at Providence Baptist Church in Monrovia. Providence was established by Rev. Lott Carey in Richmond, Va., in 1821 and transplanted to Liberia in 1822, making it the oldest Baptist church in the country. It is also the home church of Rev. Emmett L. Dunn, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of Lott Carey, who was born in Liberia.

Highlights:

Dubois Center, and Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum. Nkrumah was the first president of Ghana who championed the fight for Ghana’s independence from the United Kingdom in 1957. Your city tour will also include a stop in Jamestown, where you will get to visit the Ussher and James Forts, built by the Royal African Company of England as a trading post for both gold and slaves in 1673.

The highlight of your Ghana experience will take you to the Assin Manso Slave River before visiting the slave castles in Cape Coast and Elmina.
