This was the an email received, the first answer to our prayers for Grace Ellen Fox. Praise the Lord!:
Hi Bro. George,
Thank you for following up with me. I was temporarily locked out of my email account and have been catching up on missed messages.
It has been a difficult time with the after effects of the hurricane. Thankfully, my family and I were largely spared relative to other towns in our area. In the meantime, our church has been supporting a lot of efforts to supply food, water, etc. to other communities. The federal support has been limited, sadly.
Prayers Requested:
October 01, 2024
Lord, we come to you in urgent need for your direct intervention subsequent to Hurricane Helene's devastation, especially in the western North Carolina Appalachia area, where the sky opened its flood waters and overtook the country infrastructure. Many houses have been destroyed by the storm's debris. Many cars are waterlogged having been flooded with raging waters from streams that have overgrown their banks.
Your people are suffering terribly without electricity for cooling, sanitizing and communication. Food and water provisions are not arriving in a timely manner. Many roads have been washed out impairing people from finding shelter and provisions from coming into the disaster areas.
We send our pleading prayers up to you for your help in expediting essential living conditions. We fervently pray that you lift up your flock by your gentle mercies. It is to your glory that those who have support are sharing with those who need support. We ask for your continuing encouragement and reminders of your presence.
The following links showcase the devastation with some North Carolina locations, such as Spruce Pines receiving more that 24 inches of rain in one day, enough to not just jeopardize lives, but also complete industries that will take some time to recover:

- Spruce Pine, NC - A tiny town just got slammed by Helene
Oh, Lord, we all humbly pray for your help for those suffering from this disaster.

Update, October 03, 2024
I have a new friend, Dr. Grace Fox, who published an article about how she and her team of researchers discovered and documented that our brains were wired by design in their research study published in 2016, as opposed to evolving randomly featured in The Bible Seminary's Sentinel Summer 2024 publication (page 20-21) that I wanted you all to know about, as it may likely serve to enable Biblical AI applications now that AI is marching forward. The Sentinel can be found online and downloaded as a PDF (Pre-Wired by Design, by selecting the summer of 2024 at The Bible Seminary link of https://www.thebibleseminary.edu/sentinel, clicking the Summer 2024 image downloads the Sentinel PDF; adjusting the screen viewing size and turning to page 20-21 will take you to Dr. Fox's "Pre-Wired by Design" article.
Here is a picture
of what the article Grace wrote looks like. (Grace is the little girl in the
forefront, middle, between her mother and father.)
I also ask for your prayers for Dr. Fox, as she emailed me word that she was in western North Carolina and had been impacted by the recent hurricane Helene. That was three days ago, and I have not received any updated words despite more emails and texts from me. Please join me in praying for the Lord to raise all of those suffering from the hurricane damages. I don't know what else to do at the present. Again the link to the Sentinel is at https://www.thebibleseminary.edu/sentinel
Grace's "Wired by Design" article states that she grew up in Taylorsville, North Carolina. If that is where she currently is, my fear is that she is within 60 miles or so east-northeast of Asheville, North Carolina, a location that seems to be the source of many of the disaster views the media has been publishing of Helene's wrath.
As of this morning and afternoon, I had not had any communication with Dr. Fox. I decided to do a little research for perspective about the damage that Hurricane Helene has exacted in Western North Carolina on the basis of all of the news reports and the presumption that Dr. Fox may have been caught in Taylorsville, a place where she grew up and that has suffered damage. Here is a map picture for perspective:
May we all pray for the Lord's intervention in the suffering taking place in the hurricane ravaged area, and may the Lord be glorified as He spreads His loving compassion and assistance to His followers in the area.
