Rushing to Help British Columbia Families
/The extreme rainfall and destruction in British Columbia have been devastating. As terrible floods and landslides put communities underwater and force thousands from their homes, a Samaritan’s Purse team is on its way to help.
Your prayers and support will make a critical difference in Jesus’ Name.
At the request of the city of Abbotsford, our relief team will be setting up and operating a 200-bed evacuation shelter for residents fleeing the rising water.
“The scope and suddenness of this disaster have been shocking. Our hearts go out to the thousands of people who are seeing their homes and businesses flooded or destroyed,” said Brent Davis, director of Canadian ministry projects. “We want to do all we can to help.”
Additional teams with specialized flood-recovery equipment and disaster relief vehicles are mobilizing to travel to the flooded region. They will begin to help homeowners as they return home and communities reopen. Most importantly, they will be there to share the hope that only Jesus Christ can give.
Please be in prayer for the thousands of evacuated families and for first responders rescuing the stranded. Ask God for reduced water levels and to help local churches and our teams be beacons of His love during this challenging winter response.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
