On May 3, many Arkansans experienced the severe thunderstorms which marched across the state. As of this morning, Arkansas Baptist Disaster Relief has identified damage in Sebastian, Crawford, Hempstead, and Lawrence counties. Some of these areas will not have electricity restored for five days. Assessors are in these areas evaluating the damage and preparing for incoming teams. We will have several of our recovery, feeding, and shower/laundry units helping home owners in the recovery process.
Pray for the survivors, volunteers, and first responders in the area as they work towards recovery.
Baptist Disaster Relief (DR) assessors and chaplains were on the ground Wednesday evening immediately after the storm lifted to assess damages and find ways to support those impacted.
Randy Garrett said that disaster relief volunteers have completed all that had been requested of them and were shutting things down today.
Chaplains reported that there has been one salvation so far during this deployment. They also report many contacts during which they have prayed with folks and shared the Gospel.
So you want to make a difference in the lives of disaster survivors? We need you on our team!
Caring people rushing to people in crisis to offer the help, healing, and hope of Jesus Christ
