Brandon Heath and Volunteers Help with Tornado Cleanup in Lafayette, TN: Come rain or shine, Brandon Heath and 20 volunteers traveled to Lafayette, Tenn., last Saturday to help clean up tornado destruction from last month�s Macon County tornado. Brandon and crew were dropped off in a field where they cleaned debris from a farmer�s pasture and ravine and removed sheet metal twisted in up-rooted trees was a common problem that the volunteers dealt with. Stormy weather could not break the spirits of the volunteers who worked through a thunderstorm in the fields for five hours. Many people were interested in returning to help the people of Lafayette and were extremely grateful that Brandon organized the event. �It was a galvanizing experience--we need to be out loving and helping people who are hurting, so the love of God is more evident to the world,� said Jean Proctor, volunteer. Brandon Heath�s single �Don�t Get Comfortable� went up two spots from last week and is currently No. 7 on the AC-Indicator charts.
