After Hurricane Helene blustered through North Carolina, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary’s administration heard reports of Helene’s devastation and learned that over 250 students and their families had been significantly impacted by the storm. Southeastern began planning a trip in partnership with North Carolina’s Baptists on Mission to help grieving communities in North Carolina.
As the disaster relief force of Southern Baptists, Baptists on Mission is a unified effort, supported by the Cooperative Program, that serves and ministers to those in need, especially those communities affected by natural disasters.
