What began as a simple coat drive for Hurricane Helene victims has grown into a long-term mission of love, led by Haw Creek Baptist Church, other Hightower Baptist Association congregations, and Christian ministries across northeast Georgia.
Among the participating churches are Harmony Baptist Church in Dawsonville, Pine Crest in Cumming, Shady Grove-Forsyth, and Pleasant View in Cumming.
This ongoing ministry has been marked by personal investment, practical support, and a desire to meet physical and spiritual needs. Shad Faulkner, pastor of Haw Creek in Cumming, says the point of reaching out to those impacted by the storm is simple. “Ultimately, the goal is to get them to trust us and know that we love them. That’s how we can tell them about Jesus.”
