Helping Flooded Areas of KY and TN

During the first weekend of May, Central Kentucky and the surrounding region received record rainfall causing major flooding.

We received a call on May 4th from a dear friend, Bill Teegarden. Bill preaches at Farmers Christian Church, a few miles west of Morehead, KY. Bill (pictured right, showing the water level) says they had 4-5 feet of water in the church basement and considerable damage to their new activities building. Several homes in the community were also damaged.

He asked if Teen Mission could possibly organize some work teams to help in any way. We plan to do so.

I’m happy to report that IDES (International Disaster Emergency Service) in Kempton, IN, has sent us $3,000 to help with repairs to the church building.

 

In Nashville, much of the city was under water, thousands of people in Tennessee have been driven from their homes, and nearly 20 people have died in some of the worst flooding in memory. Please keep all those affected by the recent floods in your prayers.

 

Teen Mission will be organizing teams and individuals who would like to help in these areas. If you and/or your church would like to help for a day, weekend, or a week-long mission trip, please contact me right away (contact info can be found below). You may also contact our Disaster Relief Coordinator Jack Whitaker at 859/582-7061.
