Kentucky Tornado Relief
December 2021
Who would be crazy enough to travel to Kentucky the weekend before Christmas to help clear brush and tarp roofs before the rain and snow returns?
Well, as I heard a friend say yesterday, this is exactly the kind of thing that people who love God and love people do. The only thing worse than having to go help folks the weekend before Christmas is actually being the folks who are in desperate need of help the weekend before Christmas!
In the Charis Fellowship USA and Encompass World Partners, we represent thousands of people who love God and love people! Can you help?
