Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief continues to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people impacted by Hurricane Helene’s destructive path across Georgia. GBDR director Dwain Carter reported Oct. 4 that more than 134,000 meals had been prepared by volunteers, including those from other states supporting the response.
Teams from Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missouri are working alongside their Georgia counterparts to bring help, hope and healing to those in need.
The Georgia Baptist Mission Board is also continuing to reach out to churches and pastors in the affected area to assess the storm’s impact on their ministry. By Oct. 7, nearly 1,000 churches and associational missionary strategists had been contacted. From those contacts, the GBMB has identified 103 churches and 70 pastors, church staff, and/or AMSs that were impacted by Helene to some extent.
In addition, the GBMB is working on an initiative to pair churches in unaffected areas with those that have been impacted Helene. Churches wishing to be matched with a church in need can express their interest by clicking here.
