On Memorial Day, several tornados touched down in Dayton, Ohio. Among the communities hardest hit were Brookville and Trotwood. Almost immediately, Pastors Zach Doppelt (Trotwood Grace Brethren Church) and Rick Hartley (Brookville Grace Brethren Church) provided invaluable on-the-ground information that allowed that Charis Fellowship to get to work.
Grace Fellowship of Pickerington (Columbus, Ohio) raised up and deployed three teams, one for each of the days from Tuesday through Thursday, June 4-6. The primary need the 50 people on these teams served was tree, limb, and debris removal, which these good folks achieved with a smile for about a dozen Trotwood homeowners. Wooster Grace is considering sending a team if the opportunity to serve continues.
What a blessing it is to come alongside the Trotwood church and strengthen their outreach to their community!
PRAY for:
- The homeowners these teams served, that their recovery will continue and that God will minister grace in their lives.
- A positive and continuing impact for the Trotwood church as they follow up with these homeowners as well as others that the Trotwood church has served as well.
