Last week, a wildfire started in Texas and burned over 1 million acres. While we haven’t responded to wildfires much, with something of this scale we decided to send a team out to assess the needs. The food and water needs are already being met with donations. The assessed areas weren’t ready for cleanup because the debris still contained embers. Also, in many cases, insurance assessments need to happen before the cleanup can start and this will probably take several weeks. If we see that an urgent need isn’t being met, we’ll consider deploying.
Continue to pray for the people who lost their homes and belongings in the fire.
