99 Lutheran Disaster Response works in the United States and its territories. George, a resident of Little Rock, Arkansas, has been watching in disbelief as volunteers from across the country come to his little house and help make it livable again. Rev. Gil Furst speaks with volunteers about the importance of their work. It has been eight months since a record setting 38 tornadoes struck Arkansas, destroying 427 homes, severely damaging 900 others, and killing at least 7. All three areas have been affected by killer tornadoes this year, and in all three areas the church continues to be present and responding, offering help and hope in the name of Jesus Christ.
Volunteers help to make the homes of people liveable again.
This group had driven in their church school bus through the summer heat to Arkansas. They spent a lot of time and energy working with people affected by tornadoes in the Little Rock area, including George. As they helped others, their own lives were transformed and changed. How you can help As we enter the height of hurricane season, people of faith stand ready to respond, even as they continue to respond in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Texas.
