Please pray for Pastor Patrick Keen and the members of Bethlehem. More than 100 Bethlehem members are unaccounted for. The congregation suffered one confirmed death due to Hurricane Katrina. The building sustained minimal damage and minimal flooding. According to Pastor Keen, “The neighborhood around Bethlehem is a ghost town. We have to start the ministry all over again.”
