Responding to the 2008 storms
Ike, Hanna, Gustav and Fay
As the body of Christ, we are each equipped to do something to help. Individuals can assemble hygiene kits and clean-up buckets, as well as sending their donations for support. Youth groups can help underwrite a pod for one of the Volunteer Villages. A congregation can help meet infrastructure needs, and send mission teams to help rebuild. A presbytery can adopt a neighborhood, cover the cost of equipment for hosting a volunteer team or even sponsor a whole village. As we unite our dollars, hearts, and hands, our ability to respond grows.
