FLOOD RELIEF
(select “Disaster Relief”
from fund drop-down)
Over the July 4th holiday weekend, devastating floods struck the Hill Country of Texas after record rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise more than 25 feet above normal levels. Tragically, the resulting flood claimed over 100 lives and left behind catastrophic damage. Just days later, Tropical Storm Chantal swept through North Carolina, bringing torrential rain, severe flooding, and multiple tornadoes—claiming more lives and devastating communities. In moments like these, we are reminded that we are the hands and feet of Jesus. We grieve with those who grieve, we pray for those who are hurting, and we respond with compassion.
