Clarksville, TN Tornado
On December 9, 2023 in the early afternoon hours, a tornado ripped through Clarksville, TN. It destroyed 114 houses and damaged over 800 more. Our crews were on the ground assisting within a few days. We partnered with 2 Christian churches in the area to help clean up and build sheds for those affected.
Maui Fires
In early August 2023, a series of wildfires broke out in the U.S. state of Hawaii, predominantly on the island of Maui taking the lives of at least 100 people and destroying thousands of homes and buildings. Our response to the Maui Fires continues as we help dozens of families left homeless by providing shelter and food in this difficult time. Cornerstone Christian Church in Khei, Maui has been an incredible partner with us and is passionate about helping these families. Please join us in praying for the communities of Maui affected by the fires.
