Our congregation has been in support of World Vision's crisis relief efforts for many years. I received the following update and plea from World Vision on the devastation left by Hurricane Ida...
Because of your heart for our emergency relief work, I’m reaching out to share that we are responding to Hurricane Ida.
On the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Ida made landfall in Louisiana. It is has become one of the most powerful storms in history to strike Louisiana, with sustained wind speeds of 150 miles an hour. This life-threatening storm has caused flash flooding and heavy damage along the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
World Vision is currently rushing truckloads of critically needed supplies to affected areas as we speak. We are also working closely with local church partners to ensure that we reach the most vulnerable with important resources like food, water, tents, hygiene kits, generators, flashlights, baby diapers, clothing and more!
Please join us in prayer today for those in the wake of the storm. If you’re able to give, even a small gift today, visit: Donate Disaster Relief in the USA | World Vision Or call me directly at 1-888-552-1507 to donate by phone.
