Rebuilding continues in the Hill Country
While it’s been months since the catastrophic Hill Country floods over the summer, the disaster response continues. On Mission Network continues to partner with Texans on Mission, as well as other ministries to provide support, hope and restoration after the destruction.
The storm hit Kerrville the hardest, but other Texas communities such as San Angelo, Hunt, Ingram, Center Point, Menard and San Saba, were impacted too. More than 130 people died in the tragedy.
Volunteers continue to show up and serve in a variety of ways since the flooding ravaged the Hill Country on July 4. From ripping out ruined flooring, removing appliances and cutting away sheetrock to prepare for rebuild, OMN volunteers have also shown up through flood recovery, feeding, box ministry, shower/laundry, asset protection, assessors and providing hope and support through chaplaincy.
The response to serve those impacted in the Hill Country has been incredible. For example, the MidTexas Conference of the Global Methodist Church has partnered with Texans on Mission and On Mission Network to expand the impact on the ground.
“What excites me most is the expanded capacity to deliver help, hope and healing to affected individuals and communities,” shared Rand Jenkins, OMN President. “Equally inspiring is witnessing churches fro different denominations coming together, visibly demonstrating the profound impact of unity and active faith.”
While the restoration and rebuild continues in the Hill Country, On Mission Network continues to be on the ground serving those in need.
