Less than a week after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the U.S., a Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief feeding team is on the ground to “give a cup of cold water in Jesus’ name” to those affected by the powerful storm.
Not all of Asheville is destroyed. Grace Baptist Church in West Asheville sits on high ground and was protected from the storm. That protection has allowed them to fill their building with donations that will be distributed to the hurting.
As disaster relief efforts continue throughout the Southeast, more Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers are needed to help Helene survivors recovering from the destruction.
“Give your pastor and his family a weekend getaway. Give them a break on somebody else’s nickel — and make sure that time is not counted as vacation,” writes Southeastern Seminary’s Chuck Lawless on Pastor Appreciation Month.
