Stories of Hope and Healing in Response to Ike's Destruction
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, individual volunteers and entire congregations have gone out of their way to respond to the needs of their neighbors and surrounding communities. There are many stories that display elements of the Radical Hospitality and Risk-Taking Mission as well as other core values. People are stepping up to help out where they can and are passionately responding to needs they see that they can help with. Here are a few of those stories and examples of what some are doing to offer assistance. (If you have a story you want to share, please e-mail ecolvin@txcumc.org)
