Nashville Tornado Team Deployed

By March 15, 2020Uncategorized

Though most knew that anything might happen on Super Tuesday, residents of Nashville never expected to wake up that Tuesday morning, March 3, to the devastation of an F3 tornado!

This team! These gals and guys! They did all this work, clearing debris and felled trees from homes, cars and yards – a monumental task that can only be fully appreciated by folks who have themselves onetime stepped out of their homes after a storm to find their properties in a similar state.

It took Grace Fellowship (Pickerington, Ohio) just four days to pull together and deploy this team to the greater Nashville area eight hours away. There they served as only the Church can, offering more than just muscle and sweat, but also much-needed words of hope so desperately needed in the wake of disasters.

Are you or your church interested in joining a future disaster response team? Contact Encompass Crisis Response [CrisisResponse@encompassworld.org] to subscribe to updates, making you among the first to know about responses being planned.

So hats off to Grace Fellowship for their super quick response to serve people in need of help!
