As you have no doubt seen, Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida as category 4/5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. The devastation is severe. As I write this, over two dozen people are confirmed dead, officials are calling it a once in a 1,000 year rain event, and many homes are destroyed. Several United Methodist and GM Church buildings and parsonages have been damaged. It is in times like these that God answers people’s prayers by calling His disciples to action. The people of Florida need our help.
The WCA-Florida is coordinating a special offering for hurricane recovery, as well as the delivery of supplies, and potentially work teams. They are working through churches in affected areas to help them, and to help them serve their communities in Jesus’ name. This offering will be distributed through churches willing to serve as a ministry hub for their area. The WCA-Florida is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. 100 percent of your gift will go to relief, with no administrative cost. Please use this link to give and enter your gift in the Hurricane Relief Box: https://tinyurl.com/2y3xkt85
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is also helping with Ian relief and recovery. Donate directly to the UMCOR US Disaster Response and Recovery Advance # 901670 here: https://umcmission.org/advance-project/901670/
Thank you for your generous help to our brothers and sisters and their communities in a time of need. |
