Nazarene Disaster Response - Floods
Over the past few weeks, heavy rains and flooding have made several counties across the U.S. Midwest disaster areas. In Indiana, more than 42 counties were reporting damage at the height of the flooding. According to Nazarene Disaster Response (NDR), the Southwest Indiana District, under the leadership of District Superintendent Garrett Mills, and the Indianapolis District, under the leadership of District Superintendent Ted Lee, have both reported several communities in their respective districts were affected by the massive flooding. NDR is currently responding to the needs in Indiana, and have been affected by the floods themselves. NDR National Director Steve Creech reports volunteers Lynn Mussleman and Mr. and Mrs. James Bickerstaff were pulling a new NDR Rapid Response Trailer from Mississippi to Grace Point Church of the Nazarene in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, on Interstate 65 when it closed due to the floods. They were able to safely find refuge at a local Nazarene church until the interstate was reopened.In working with these districts, NDR is finding a large amount of volunteers are needed to help in the massive recovery efforts. NDR is asking for volunteers over the next eight weeks to help in these projects. Volunteers are needed to help mud out houses and help victims return to their homes.According to Creech, this appears to be a very extensive recovery effort that will require teams and resources. Interested teams and volunteers should contact Steve Creech at screech@ncmi.org.
(We may not be able to volunteer in England but they are in our prayers!)
