Mitchell River Primitive Baptist Church in Devotion, North Carolina, was destroyed by an arsonist last month. The small wooden church had no electricity, no running water, no bathrooms -- and no insurance. There are only nine members, most on fixed incomes, and they can't afford to rebuild.

If you're interested in helping, donations can be sent to:Mitchell River Primitive Baptist Church

I don't live in the area, but are you planning to help? How far south are you from this place, Midnight?

I don't live in the area, but are you planning to help? How far south are you from this place, Midnight?I'm about three hours south of there. I'm not planning to participate in the rebuilding, but I thought I'd send a donation.
