ReachGlobal Crisis Response mobilized following the devastating flash floods in the Texas Hill Country.
God opened doors for us to partner with Hunt Baptist Church and the city of Hunt, Texas, to establish a long-term response to the July flood that claimed more than 100 lives and damaged thousands of homes.
In addition to working with our local ministry partners and hosting short-term teams, Crisis Response is working to equip area churches with trauma care and preparedness training. Already, we have seen God's provision of finances and staffing as we begin to transition from day groups to weeklong and half-week serving opportunities.
You can join the response effort.
Pray
- For God’s compassion on the hurting to be experienced by those in the midst of this tragedy
- For the individuals and communities that will need to rebuild their lives following the floods
- For good connections and open hearts in the communities where Crisis Response will serve
- For funding, resources and staff needed to support a long-term response
- For God to be glorified through the sacrificial service and generosity of churches and individuals in the wake of this crisis

*The financial goal for this response was raised on Monday, August 4, to reflect new opportunities that emerged as relationships with community leaders were established and long-term response staff were identified. Additional funds will also support ReachGlobal Crisis Response in hosting short-term teams from churches across the country.
