Operation Blessing used a helicopter to reach remote areas with water filtration systems, setting up by a creek to quickly produce safe water.

Please continue to pray and support those hit hard by Helene.
*Freedom Farm is a past Ministry of the Month🙏

In times of devastation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and alone. Yet, David reminds us that God’s presence is constant. His Psalm 139 speaks of God being with us in the highest and lowest places, even in the deepest darkness.

As we look at the damage around us and wonder how we’ll move forward, we can trust that God is here, guiding and supporting us. He’s in the helping hands of neighbors and friends, the supplies provided by volunteers, and the prayers lifted up for those affected. His light breaks through this darkness, offering hope and comfort.

Let’s hold on to this truth: wherever we are, God is with us, in control and leading us through. To all those helping, praying, and supporting us and our community, we thank God for you. 💗
