Hurricane ian relief opportunities
See ways you can get involved below
We know this goes without saying, but this has been an exhausting, trying time and the end is not in sight yet. The horrible devastation will be something we, in Southwest Florida, will be dealing with for a long time. But this has also been one of the most unique times for ministry we have ever been a part of in our lifetime. We do hope you are not missing this opportunity. We can make a difference physically and tangibly all the while bringing Jesus and the gospel to the hopeless, confused and lost. We all should be scattered in our neighborhoods, cities and communities tirelessly serving.
So with that, we wanted to share some links for giving and getting involved. Our hope is that most of us do not need these, all you have to do is walk out your front door; but we do want to share some opportunities for you.
