That didn\u2019t stop one Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief (MODR) team from filling sandbags on the bluff a half-mile away from the river.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ten members of the Mt. Salem\/Wyaconda Southern Baptist Association DR team filled 240 sandbags, set on three pallets, covered with a plastic tarp and sealed with plastic wrap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt\u2019s part of the flood fight program,\u201d said local call-out coordinator Jill Feldkamp. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSand bags are being filled all over the state and stored inside. When there is a need, semis will be sent to pick them up,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The team used two frames of five PVC pipes each. Empty sandbags were put on the pipes, and the frames were flipped to be filled. The frames then were lifted when the bags were filled, each weighing about 35 pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the second year the team has participated in the program. Temperatures in the 70s were a contrast from last year when the team had a covering of light snow on the sand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Feldkamp said two pallets from last year remain in storage in LaGrange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe Flood Fight program is intended to provide a quick supply of sandbags when the need arises.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It puts Missouri Baptists in action on the front end of a major flood.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>However, the program is working better than we thought in that not one river flood has occurred in Missouri or surrounding states since we started,\u201d MODR director Gaylon Moss said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are thankful for the churches and associations supporting this effort. They have prepared over 3,000 bags ready to go when the time arises.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe have met our goal for now until a new rainy season sends us more floodwaters,\u201d Moss said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The ten included four pastors and members representing more than a half dozen churches in the association. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mississippi River was at significantly low levels on Saturday, Oct. 22.
