A coalition of local churches in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Church (FGBC) is coming together to serve alongside multiple churches in the affected region. While details are still coming together, we want to invite more leaders and churches to be introduced to the current plans and to participate in demonstrating the Good News.
At this point, we can outline the following:
- A growing coalition comprised of 15+ FGBC churches.
- Our goal is to send sustained help (teams) to serve over a period of approximately three months.
- The hope is to deploy around 15 teams from mid-September to mid-December.
- NOW there is a Hurricane Irma getting ready to impact us too. Preparations are being made around this as well.
If you, or a leader in your church family would like to be part of a conference/online call so that your church can consider being part of this effort, a GoTo Meeting conference call has been scheduled on FRIDAY, September 8 at 2:00 PM Eastern time. Barb Wooler, director of crisis response with Encompass World Partners, who has been to Texas in the affected region this week, will be presenting during the call.
