Sikh NGO helps rebuild church in Florida 02/15/2007 http://www.unitedsikhs.org/PressReleases/PRSRLS-13-02-2007-00.htm
The UNITED SIKHS AID relief team, after doing the initial survey, visited The Lady Lake Church of God on Hwy 441 that was turned into rubble by the tornado. Pastor Lary Lynn shared his emotions on the deadly impact of the tornado, “I got a call from a church member saying – ‘pray for us, everything has been destroyed’. I don’t know how it happened, but the 150 miles/hr wind just devastated the thirty-one year old church”. The Pastor welcomed and thanked UNITED SIKHS for the help. He added that it would take 1 ˝ yrs to rebuild the church.
“Jasbir Singh, the president of the Sikh Society of Central Florida, Orlando, has pledged support for our relief efforts,” said Kuldip Singh, UNITED SIKHS AID director who is heading the relief efforts in central Florida. The devastated area of Lady Lake is about 70-80 miles from the nearest Sikh Gurdwara. The UNITED SIKHS AID team along with the local Sikh Sangat of Orlando will soon extend the relief operations to other affected areas in the region.
