Ministry
Hurricane Harvey smashed into the coast of Texas in late August 2017, immediately creating one of the largest natural disasters in the U.S. since Hurricane Katrina. Relief mission trips to the Houston area have focused on helping families whose homes have been flooded and left for ruin, but most relief efforts have dwindled.
There are still those who have been affected and we want to make this Christmas extra special to those whose homes where devastated by the flooding. We will be ministering by bringing gifts and encouragement in several homes in the area as well as working with a local church and foodbank to continue to help those in need. Help make Christmas bright for our neighbors!
History
Right here, in our very own Texas, there are families who lost everything in Hurricane Harvey. You can be a part of restoring hope in lives and rebuilding cities. Join us as we reach our "Judea" and help those who are right here in our own backyard.
