Baptist General Convention of Texas churches in Kerrville, Texas, and surrounding areas are mobilizing their members to aid in relief efforts after the flooding of the Guadalupe River on July 4.
Utilizing their Mission Center as a headquarters for their response efforts, First Baptist Church Marble Falls has been “mobilized in a number of different ways since [the flooding] took place” including leading “the entire mud out process for the entire Burnet County and Llano County areas,” mobilizing a network of local pastoral teams to act as chaplains as volunteers serve families and offer counseling services.

Tucker Edwards, family discipleship pastor of FBC Marble Falls, said each morning, volunteers come to the Mission Center to receive training for the mud-out process, as well as emotional and spiritual training to offer support while serving families.
On the evening of July 9, the church also hosted a “community night of prayer and worship” with over 300 hundred in attendance.
