Unity Through Disaster

  It has been almost a month since a round of tornadoes decimated the southern United States. Our early response effort has led us to several places of ministry in Alabama. We’ve been amazed at how churches from all over the U.S. have come to serve. We’re launching teams all summer long. You can read more below to find out what we’re doing to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the tornadoes.
