‘We’re bringing help’: Texans on Mission working with CA church to respond to wildfires

Shower/laundry units are on the way. A semi-truck load of supplies also left Dallas with masks, water filters, Tyvek suits, Bibles, cots and gloves.

A TXM team is in California meeting with church partners to determine how best to respond.
