And he is hoping local residents will be inspired by Stockstill's account of what the 10,000-member church he attends has done to help victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Stockstill is associate pastor of Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, La., where hundreds of Katrina and Rita evacuees were housed after the hurricanes uprooted Gulf Coast residents in late August and late September, respectively.
