Hurricane Ian made landfall west of Fort Myers, Florida on Wednesday, September 28 as a Category 4 storm. It caused damage to several EFCA churches and communities across the state.

ReachGlobal Crisis Response mobilized in partnership with three EFCA churches along the southwestern coast of Florida. Staff and volunteers are helping local churches reach out to communities who need help and hope, after storm surge, wind damage and heavy rainfall impacted the state.

Pray

  • Pray for wisdom and discernment at Crisis Response partners with Fort Myers Evangelical Free Church, Compass Church and Grace Community Church in the areas affected by Hurricane Ian
  • Pray that God would provide the staff, teams, housing and resources for this response
  • Pray for God to open doors for gospel ministry as a result of the storm
